Glen:
in my personal opinion, the BNI certificate is the one that should become
the most meaningful, the most desirable-- as it is issued by the body with
the most experience, the most expertise, and the most credibility in LSR.
How long has it been since FIA even timed an American LSR event with their
own clocks? Why should BNI/ SCTA people do all the work--provide all the
technical expertise and management, and absorb all the stress of hosting the
competition-- and FIA get all the credit and control of record recognition?
And we pay them for the privilege? That sucks. We've been continuing to act
like "colonists", still trying to "buy our way" into the European elitisms.
It is high time that SCTA started "feeling their manhood" and taking the
attitude that...
THERE ARE NO WORLD LANDSPEED RECORDS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOSE IN THE
BNI/SCTA BOOKS.

List
Regardless of what the French and the FIA does I have good news for the
racers that have set records at the world Finals (Bonneville International
Records) since 1999. SCTA / BNI will in the very near future will present
each of the nine teams a certificate that set records at our meets under the
supervision of FIA and SCTA / BNI Timers .
This certificate will give the official speed avg. for the mile and the
kilo. This is not an FIA certificate. This is from the Bonneville
International Records under the direction of the Southern California Timing
Assoc. & The Bonneville Nationals Inc.
This certificate has been in the works for some time and will have as much
or more meaning then the FIA.
These records were set in the USA and timed by certified timing equipment by
the official timers of SCTA / BNi.
