Nobody said that it wasn't fast . He talks a good game, but when you claim to do 230 at the mile (when you were not there) let alone even run. You deserve to be called out. I think we (6speed) need to keep all the bull**** aside & give credit where its due. I feel it undermines the people that contribute, run their cars, don't keep secrets & give solid data to be verified. IMHO the people that have their names on those list should have our utmost respect...


Bottom line don't make ridiculous claims, unless you have proof...

 

LOL
I guess the pot is boiling :-)

I do not wish to bash... that message was sent privately.
Cheers to everyone :-)
Robert

 

Did you run the mile, Rob?

 

WTF All seriousness. don't you think you owe an explanation for all the lies. C-mon give us a little more credit..

 

Don't waste your time, Thier is no shame in his game ...

 

No lies.... just a number. I sent this privately and it should have stayed that way...

 

That's a normal response for him guys. Of course he didn't run the mile or that speed. He's been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Private or not, this is a small and close-knit community and that kind of claim was inevitably going to see the light of day one way or another.

Hey, at least he's not posting in rainbow colors and alternating capital letters anymore.

 

This Rob guy is a real piece of work.....

 

Privately or not, Your nose is growing...

 

This reminds me of Alex telling me he ran 238 or something like that at a "secret" Vegas mile run....but then could barely crack 220 in front of witnesses....and then never paid up when he lost my bet.

Rob, this is just a fun hobby for most everyone on here...no need to lie in order to try to gain respect.

 

So sorry to offend anyone here... just enjoying life but to answer everyones question..did I do 227??? I did reach 227 in the mile. Unfortunately, I never said I did this at Goliad... It was actually close to Dallas and it was around the end of 2007? I truly dont remember when because I have been over 200 several times... and I think this topic came up because of the great accomplishment of EVOMS and Joe. Take this bit of info as you will......
Robert

 

rob, if you're going to say exact 227 (which imo is absolutely SICK, esp if you were doing it 2 years ago), why not throw some solid data out there? For starters, where exactly? anyone else there to verify this claim? Someone must've been there as you didn't do this alone. you mentioned akram might have video... you should be digging it up as we speak. it would really help your cause.

 

I am not trying to validate anything... I am just answering questions that were brought up through a private message. I dont have proof, maybe Akram might have this video stored... I have asked him and he is searching for it. If I know that telling Kevin this bit of info would have started such a fuss I would have never written him... Oh well
Robert

 

Rob, do not even attempt to lay this thread at my doorstep. Your second mistake was putting 227MPH in the mile in an email, your first mistake was sending it to someone who has a ridiculously low tolerance for wild, unsubstantiated, bullsh1t claims. I harbor zero ill will against you, but if you truly believe that you could send such a wild claim to me, or anyone on 6speed for that matter, that you held the world record in the mile two years before Joe and never uttered a word, and are shocked that there may be further inquiries into the validity of said run...you are naive and foolishly so. What did you expect me to do...Throw back a cold pint of Kool Aid, kick back in a chair and think, "dude, Doc Rob rocks, no need to question him"
But there is good news out of this, I am sure your have the Drift box file on hand. There is such a scarcity of solid high speed data on these cars, we can plot out a spreadsheet for you against Joe's car. We can see the strengths and weakness of the competing setups and philosophy at single MPH data points all the way up to 200+ and beyond. This is a true windfall for the 6Speed community. I know you have the data since the video you refer to is vitrually useless since it may show something going 227mph but we want to see it going 227 mph in 5280ft from a dig.
Also, I will never,ever understand why you will not hold your car up to standard benchmarks on this board such as the "real" mile, 60-130, and trap speed. My theory is that you have realized you have nothing to gain and everything to lose. You have thorughly hyped you car that if it lives up to its claims, well it was expected to do so. If it doesnt then you look sort of foolish.You said to me that there are too many naysayers on 6speed and I will agree, but hard data will SILENCE naysayers, not create them. You have a supremely capable car that many could only dream about owning, but you do it a huge disservice with these claims with no substantiation.
Again, no hard feelings, but why dont we agree to ALL meet up in TX this Fall. I am trying to get a whole bunch of cars shipped out there from Proto, EVOMS,EPL, and UMW. All these cars on the same track same day, sounds like a win win.
