Well, now we know Louise was not part of the Jesse James production She is apparently re-surfacing with an "Educational TV" crew at World of Speed. I get very nervous about self proclaimed land speed
Ya think????? I feel a little more than nervous when folks claim records......like the wind powered effort by Boulder City a while back.......did their own timing aboard the vehicle......Ought to be
"Why can't folks just follow the rules?" Because they are lazy and always seek the easy way out ? And all they really care about is the glitz and notoriety of hot rodding, -and 'getting "ink" -not th
actually Skip... that's exactly what Jesse did... he followed the rules as they apply... to Hydrogen Powered Vehicles at El Mirage... oh wait... there are no current rules for alternate Fuel Vehicles

Simply answer this question... who's got the fastest Hydrogen powered car in the world? Not how was it done... what procedures so on and so forth... Just the facts here... Who's the fastest??? Yes it
Keith, hydrogen is listed as an approved fuel for the fuel class. So given JJ's engine size all he really needed to do was to go faster than the current AA fuel streamliner at EM. So no, I wouldn't s
And my take to repeat. How fast was the Beemer on it's fast leg at terminal speed? I don't know. Possibly faster than 199. But since we can't compare apples and oranges we will never know which was f
I'd lump Hyrdrogen and Nitromethane in the same pot... and call them equal... Wait... that's not true.. The ECTA has a New Alternate Fuel class this year and we allow the competitor to define the fue
199.7 is a bigger number then 185, both of which are the recorded speeds for each of these attempts... Yes if the BMW had a recorded speed it's exit speed it might have been.... 459mph but since it w
The only valid way to set a record of any kind where speed is involved is to either specify the distace measured or the time in the case of a 12 or 24 hour endurance attempt. The rest is pointless an
I am still trying to bring KT around on this....It is my contention that records are meaningless unless we have a standard to compare them to. Which has been the two runs, measured mile, average spee
B I told everyone I rolled a marble off my roofB in three seconds, faster than anyone in the world, and now hold the record! Come on over and beat the record! Records are meaningless, but I like them
Without records we may as well just run individually whenever we want to and just have fun doing it. That sounds pretty good really. Why set up clocks and survey a track? If it feels good, do it. I k
Rich do we still hold any? I guess I could look at the rule book. Jack -- Original Message -- From: "Rich Fox" <v4gmr@yahoo.com> To: NT788@comcast.net Cc: "LAND SPEED LIST" <land-speed@autox.team.net
Lemme see, ECTA uses a mile run up to a 132 ft trap, EM uses a 1.3 mile run up toi a 132 ft trap, Tex Mile I think uses a mile run up to a 132 ft trap. And all are one run only records. There are a l
Our Ordnance Detachment's Executive Officer, CWO R.B. Love, once had the world's record for peeing out of a moving Jeep. It meant about as much as some of these "World's Records". Regards, Neil Tucs
He says its his world record. Free speech has nothing to do with accuracy.Just put your nose in the air next time you see him. Jack Record Time (s) Speed Flying-start kilometre 11.99 187.62 mph (301
Agreed. The 'record' exists only in his own personal book. ...and I suspect that applies to the BMW effort as well. For all we know, some crafty Aussie has gone faster on Lake Gairdner and we just ha
