Jamo,
In my first paragraph, I never said that you made those remarks about Remington, these people did:

Bonyhadi: "Maybe Remington needs to take some more Ginko, or is that is secret part of the Club Cranky
barbeque sauce that you guys will be indulging in?? Some of these posts get to be damn
mean, and nobody is to big to be chopped down a couple of inches!!"

Turk:
" Should we have someone ask CS himself, to see what the truth is, instead of disgruntled ex employees?"

Now, I never said that you made those comments, but I did ask you to show me proof, not the fact that no one has ever challenged his claim. Prove it to me and I will be a believer. I'm also asking you why you don't question those two comments made by Bony and Turk.

What would you like me to do about comments made by Remington? Ignore them because it ruffles your feathers about Smith? You won't allow me to post a comment he made, and you won't allow me to post his and my own opinion even after speaking with him once again this afternoon about this subject? Who am I to question his comments about the claim of 198mph? I wrote them as I heard them, and they happen to agree with others who oppose yours.

No, I do not speak for him and never will. Can't figure out where you get that from. Are you speaking for Smith by backing his claims? However, your 20 year friendship and an unsubstantiated claim do not over-ride an opinion made by someone who I believe has the authority and knowledge to make a statement such as: "Are they serious? 198mph at Daytona? No way. Not even close". I never said "Do not doubt the word of Rem", as you put it. I just gave you the credentials by which I make my judgement call, which you may or may not have known about.

Speak to Mr. Smith myself? I have already done that...twice. I have never discounted Dick Smith's abilities, just the claims that he went 198mph. We have proof the he won some championships, but I have yet to see proof about the speed. When and where did I attack Dick Smith?....because I doubt his claim and that upsets you? If I put my betting money on someone with some hefty credentials over a so-far un-proven claim, that makes you think that I have attacked Smith with so much hostility, correct? I think you're getting a little defensive here.
