Chris;
Autoweek has quietly revised their original article; they no longer say
that LSR racers are "offended", they now claim "...some land speed
racers notice an inaccuracy in the new movie The World's Fastest
Indian."
Autoweek still doesn't get it. Notice the title of their article:
"Clearing Up the Motorcycle Land Speed Record". "THE" motorcycle land
speed record? Do they think there are no classes, only ONE record? Of
course we all know that Burt didn't set his record on his first trip to
Bonneville-- it's a MOVIE, not a documentary.
Autoweek must be getting their writers from the New York Times.
