I don't think I misunderstood at all. My first year I set a record at 129
making 3 passes totaling 360 mph. I did not spend 40 grand going 200 mph.
$40,000 is probably 15 records 2 cars a and 30 years. The average cost go
down as the years go on.
If the diesel liner guys spent $1,000,000 to set the record a 350 and came
back the next only spending $100,000 to go 400 the costs are wrong with your
thinking.
You figure your way I'll figure mine. When Patrick went 202 I spent I $400
for the one change over the previous year of 196. Then $1850 for me. So to
me that's what I spent to go 200.
