History Jesse James LSR Car HISTORY *NFD-JTF*

Not sure about that. When Jes has gone faster than me in my Vega, home built here in my garage, with an engine built by me here in my garage. on a legal flying mile course, I'll be more impressed. Of course the mega dollar mega inch five year pro built engine in a 'liner gives jes the advantage. So I'll temper my admiration. I did say that IMHO 199 is very good for anybody in anything the first time on El Mirage. But about 100 mph off a record. All the hype comes across like a WWF Worlds Title match. If you believe one you can believe the other. I know Jese is better than that. Why not show it?
?

 

It would have been cooler if it jumped thru a hoop or two that was on fire and then hit a drive thru on the way home. But if that is all you have, then its okay.

 

Best post of this thread. ha ha ha

 

Not wanting to really get into this what he has done and I have done stuff but Jesse has built a hugely succesful business that allows him to do these things. I find it hard to believe that most wouldn't love to have the freedom to do what they want that Jesse's succes has brought him. No he might not be building it himself in his garage but I doubt you are running a multimillion dollar a year business that demands that you be in a thousnad different places a year either. Is some of what is done for publicity? Of course but he has paid his dues in a lot of ways and I agree that the negative comments everytime he does something new come across more as jealousy than anything else no matter how you try and spin it.

If any regular (non celebrity) member of this board had done this in exactly the same manner EVERYONE would be patting them on the back rather than trying to find fault in it.

 

200mph? NASCAR does that all day long. in a smallblock and some pump gas ,for less than 200 grand.

 

you know, I really liked Jesse in the beginning... then all the Garage Magazine shit came down and he acted like he didnt give a shit. Then I didnt like him anymore.

But the way I look at it...

Whether its all about publicity to him or not... I dont know. He could be out there getting in the public eye by claiming he had sex with Mariah Carey and acting like a punk... but he chose this avenue. One way he's on the cover of magazines and talked about on E! and in the tabloids... the other he gets talked about by us....

Either he's an idiot or he really does love what he is doing.

To me, he has a genuine passion for all things fast, and I can't fault anyone for that.

 

How true. How fuckin totally true. In the current vernacular they're called haters. I love it. It means to me you're makin it happen. You probably experience it too, but seriously, reggae music?

 

I dont know him so maybe thats why I think hes allright. Except for making early chopper shit go thru the roof. But hey WTF. Oh yah.GFY's.

 

I sure would love to see a european team and an american team trade hydrogen records back and forth for a while.

 

I did.. they are pretty serious on that board.

 

I really didn't want to subscribe to this thread, but this just caught me off guard! I just laughed so goddam hard by this line for some reason!! BWAHAHAHA!!! Thank you for that...

Carry on with... well... whatever. Hopefully about the car of topic.

 

This doesn't really explain why you're still a Fag?

JJ = TV However a Damn good read about Mr. Don Alderson!

 

And completely within their rights to be. Regular people like us doing it the hard way putting most everything on the line for that on bit of paper that tells them they have a WORLD RECORD.
No wonder they are so pissed, I'm on there side. This douche rocks up with a truck load of money, doesn't follow the right way to do something then claims the record?
If it was my best mate that did it I would have the same respect for him as this dick.
It reminds me of the a-holes all claiming to have served in the Regiment here in Oz, I ran into one at work recently. Told everyone he was SAS, but couldn't tell me what the cadre course was, what troop he was in, though he claimed to be a paratrooper in the SAS which would have placed him in Air troop! the fuckbag does not claim to have served anymore.
It belittles the effort, blood, sweat and tears of we who did it the right way.


Doc.

 

That's pretty funny......

 

I might have to yell at you for this.

 

Don't get all defensive. It's cool if you Google my name. Probably best to keep it private though.....

What was the right way before there was a right way?

 

I really do agree with you anyone of us did the same thing as he has done we'd be a an accomplished person, the normal joe that sis in front of the t.v. likes his persona and dosen't grasp what really is goin on each show and can't pick out the faults. I don't believe he is devil or an angel by any means but you can't fault the guy for being good at what he does and wanting to learn more. i wish I had half the knowledge of metal shaping and welding skills he has.

 

Wow some people are getting wadded up over things that ultimately in the end really don't matter. So what if a guy has money and wants to race a car. Why is that wrong?

 

I don't have a problem with it if I had some cash I would be there and doin anything I want, wouldn't you?

 

wow... with all the decent threads going on right now, and this shit stays at the top?

read the one below, and let this shit die
