Land speed record forum? - TurboForum.net

Hey guys-
Would there be any interest for a Land Speed record forum? This would be some sort of organized way of keeping track of stuff like 'Park City to King of Prussia in 30 minutes 15 seconds' or whatever. It could be invisible to the same folks that can't see Flame Wars.

Yes, I'd like to see the "Fastest time from Park City to innocent bystander" record.

sounds dangerous but interesting.

reminds me of that movie.... los angelos to las vegas in like 30 minutes or soemthing.

I don't think we will be adding a new forum for something like this. We had a thread or two similar to it awhile back (like 6+ years ago), but that is about as popular as it got.

Ok fair enough. I'll have to just keep my own records.

sleeper1g · 12-12-2009, 01:38 PM

how high were you when you "thought" about this?

09CivicSiBrian · 12-15-2009, 02:55 PM

Haha I don't get high man.
Just hey if we're gonna have a 'racing' forum, how is it really any more dangerous than racing yourself against the clock? I'm not necessarily talking about racing through rush-hour traffic, more like doing the 4am Lancaster-to-BWI run on a tuesday morning.

The case I was thinking of sharing was the time I went from the rt 30-rt 772 intersection in Gap to the Giant in leola in just over 8 minutes. It was about 430am on a sunday with great visibility aside from darkness. It was spring so the corn wasn't tall, there wasn't ice, no pedestrians. Calculated risk.
