Anything faster than 150mph available? Don't get back from Cozumel until
the 18th, darn...

You can't run in the fast cars till you "qualify" in slower ones. We
will be trying to achieve 200mph, but that requires lots more safety
gear - plus previous experience.

figured you'd chicken out! Bawkk - bawk back bawk!!

Well I already rescheduled that trip - the one time allowed, due to
hurricane. Didn't bother me at all to schedule the flight out on 9/11...
I've done the better part of 130 mph with my old 280z. Done 250 mph in a
Lancair, not silly enough to break that speed on land...

Yupo talks cheap - every guy in line for the 130 mph club tells
stories of 140 or 150 - course when the actually try it - 95% of em
don't make it. You loose 10 % to the traction problems on the salt -
and the difference between 120 and 130 is huge - wind resistance and
such - but you loose most of your speed due to the liars factor -
turns out it's alot easier to tell stories about how fast your car is -
than to actually reach those speeds - hope this isn't sounding
familiar Darrel.

Been there - done that - and have the certificates and the
documentation to prove it

Can't attest to salt, could do it on asphalt though (cars I've owned).
If the car "you" provide isn't up to the task, that isn't the drivers
fault...

I've collected enough legal paper (from 4 states) to last me several
lifetimes. All of them for speeds less than they lock you away for,
never for the ones they do...

As for planes having a 250 mph one of my own is a ways off, a 150 mph
one isn't...

Heck, My Kawasaki Vulcan topped out at 135 mph with the small rear
tire!
I thought all ya had to do to qualify was outrun the cop car...
(and get off the road before the Motorola caught up)

No doubt - more guys make the 130 club with motorcycles than with cars
- power to weight!
my brother and I are going for 200mph - but they require you to step
up to that speed - so newcomers are best served going for either 130
or 150 mph club
.. Notice that with the exception of Riley - the rest of the guys
Oysterhouse, JJ(highflyer), Cooper, Wantaja (hell he could write about
it and sell it - whats his problem?) Chuck slpmcehifpjiofew[pfwasbc,
and a bunch of other unnamed coconspirators have refused to reply -

At least Ampmeter had the balls to admity he didn't have the required
nuts publically.

like I said - talks cheap - I hear stories every day about how fast
someones car is - course they never seem to take me up on the prove
it!
gonzo
guess I'll call stricker and harass him!

****, Birdbrain, you're as dense as Jaun.... either can't
or won't read what's right in front of you. Let me help you
out here... I'll quote my response to your generous offer
below.

Birdbrain....

"I've got a prior commitment that weekend... That's the
weekend of our Annual Meeting of the Snohomish Tribe of
Indians and, since I'm up for re-election as Vice Chair (how
appropriate), I really should be there."
