Got a funny story. Tell me what you think. LMR has the standing mile record for a Corvette. So, at this last event, Joe Honeycutt(the tuner for LMR when they set the record 5 years ago) approached the powers that be at the mile. Stating: when LMR set the record 5 years ago at 232 in the standing mile I (Joe Honeycutt) worked for LMR. I (Joe) have since opened my own shop where we can only go 229 MPH on fire. So, I (Joe Honeycutt) think you should transfer the owner of the record to me and my shop. Tell me if I explained well enough and if I did. WTF...?

Lol, well, if it didn't say his shops name on the car or was anything to do with his shop that didn't exist, that sounds pretty funny to me. Mr bad *** needs to go shatter the record.

I out drove you by 40 yards when we played golf a few years back. You, me, Fereday and Chris Crawford paired up after 9 holes. Do I get a title?

Show of hands, who honestly expect anything fair and reasonable with Honeycutt involved?

My wife won a relay race back in elementary school and now wants them to change her award so it has her married name on it….just saying! That's absurd, if they were your sponsor at the time then so be it.

I don't know what he's bitching about. He still holds the record for gnarliest wreck at the event.

Thanks. The helicopter came for the guy in the Vette on Saturday but he walked away from what I found out yesterday.

I think that if its a big enough deal to be the fastest corvette standing mile, which probably a handful of people in the world even care about. Then you need to go back out and break the record so their is not any confusion on who holds the title, wherever this record is kept.

I (joe whoever) was once partially involved in breaking a texas mile record. At that time i was covered under LMRs company insurance, i pulled a paycheck and worked out of their shop. Since then ive decided that im superman made my own shop and now all should pay hommage to me. However i cant understand how they wont discredit the other people involved in creating the record and make me the sole record holder even tho now that im not with the LMR boys i personally can only go 229? Guuuuuyyyyyssss why wont they give my my title?

tmiller

Yep. Pretty hard to beat that record without a fatality.

Especially with that head wind at the last event. I think 80% of the cars ought to just run 1/2 mile passes until they are ready for a plaque run or conditions are like they prefer. That way people can get all of their ducks in a row before they get in the mile passes. Totally unrelated to this thread's original topic. I waited well over four hours to watch an orange YSI Charged Camaro make a pass.

Now that Ive reread the OPs post. He was correct, it was a funny story.

The number of people willing to pilot these cars has diminished to almost zero. At least above 220MPH

above 220 is where the fun begins. just sayin

Didn't that fireball that once was a Camaro hold the 244 mph record when the car was a LMR car?
