Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
Either way, a tragedy and not the first incident to occur there, which in and of itself raises serious questions. Just to clarify the intent of this part of my previous post.. It was intended as raising questions about how safe the vehicles are/were for the intended speeds, whether suitable safety ...

Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
[snip] End of the run, this issue is starting to sound very familiar [/snip] Sounds similar to what can happen at the end of high-speed drag strip runs. I was once told, rightly or wrongly, that it was related to weight shift and aero destabilising the vehicle during the initial deceleration moment...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
Richie, I know what happened and it is firmly my fault.
It was a nested quote (a quote inside a quote), so when snipping out the main bulk, I must have removed the wrong quote tag.
I have gone back to it and sorted the error

Oh deary...... I managed to read through most before it was locked out, all screen grabbed and IP harvested. As funny as it was to read, I am genuinely concerned at the amount of time he spends monitoring everything that is said and done here, it is exceptionally unhealthy. I also noted the amount ...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
But that seems to be a regular thing, I recall having to take time off work and driving to a house spending the entire day with a team of volunteers doing a fingertip search of what I can only describe as being a golf course in the rain for a certain lost St Christopher.
