Right, Jack-- and no "winners (records) because that would make the losers
feel bad and hurt their self- esteem. :)

I think the government should control speed attempts. They could raise taxes
and fix all the problems!

To get 1/1000 of any distance per hour, you have to be able to resolve time
to the 0.000277 seconds. However, fundamental metrology requires at least a
resolution of 1/10 to the right of the most significant digit to avoid
rounding errors. So timing resolution must be at B least 0.000027 seconds.
The Bonneville clocks are better than that and report 7 seven places to the
right of the decimal!

timed accuracy of 1/1000th of a second and then expressed to 1/1000th of a
mph or kilo per hour.
