"John is no rookie, but maybe something worst.... someone that went fast once in the past and now trying to play catchup with out walking through the necessary steps and knowledge." 

Now that is just so wrong in so many ways I cannot believe you wrote that, let alone think it! I have watched John race for years now and have nothing but respect and admiration for his abilities.

Thought LSR was a haven from all the trash talking,it used to be.



...anybody know this guy? :lol:

Joe
it seems my shit isn't blowing up so much as it used to AND i'm going 15mph faster.

Could it be bc i'm not going to the dyno every weekend these days??
or
could it be that i switched from Kaw to Busa

You're right there Joe - remember the Mercedes LeMans cars, that flipped end-over at speed? If they can get it wrong any hillbilly (joking here) can :D

Glad you got away pretty easy John. You've been an ambassador to Landspeed Racing for a long time, and an inspiration to so many.
