Rick.............you are a stand up guy for posting this information. I honestly feel bad for you. I knew you felt you were legal or you wouldn't have gone for the record. I wish you all the best.

Ive known Rick a long time and can vouch for his honesty and integrity......I feel very bad for the rollercoaster of emotions that he went through yesterday.......ALSO !!!! Congratulations to the Buth clan for setting the O/SA record.....I still hold the performance aspect in high regards

Rick,

That was a heck of an explanation and you have no reason to be embarrassed. It happens and was an honest mistake. I don't know you, but you sure come across as a stand up fellow.

Now that you are all buttered up...I need you to write my explanation if I ever get tossed. You will make me look far better than I could.

I doubt anybody thinks you knowingly built an illegal engine. Nobody would be dumb enough to try to set a record knowing their head was 1.5 cc too small. Stuff happens.

Rick, Get everything squared away and get right back out there for that record attempt. Keep your head up!

Dale Hulquist · 11-02-2012, 05:34 PM

Kyle, you are sure putting alot of pressure on that fella, asking him to vouch for you .You have always offered to pay in the past for that kind support.lol

I have also known Rick for a while now. I agree, he is a "stand up" guy...Don't fret about it Rick. Many of of have had similar experiences.

Jim Wahl · 11-02-2012, 09:30 PM

Gotta agree. Nobody builds an illegal motor knowingly and then goes out and sets a record. That would be more than stupid. Thanks for the explanation. You are obviously a stand up guy. Respect. Jim
