.004 out from 3rd member to axle center line.
Totally unacceptable.
 
My mother dated.....well no not dated, we will say fucked the guy that wrote the insurance on EK on all of his US jumps. He had quite the insight to the man, and it was not good. A pretty big blow to a young boy that loved EK like every other young boy at the time.

He said, IIRC he always wanted to be paid in cash, and wanted it in hand before he would make the jump. He said there are more then a few times he knew before going in that it would not end well, Caesars Palace for example. But he had taken the money and he would do it even if he died doing it.

Richard Hammond did an "interview" with him near the end of his life. To say he was "unique" even then is an understatement, but it did tell me the guy that was fucking my mother was telling me the truth.

I had drinks with EK for a month in Kansas City summer of 1994. He was staying at the same hotel as our team. I got along with him just fine, maybe because I talked to him like a regular person, he couldn't stand our team chief...neither could I.
 
Opal Beach. At the National Seashore between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach, Florida. Nice little beach, road features some great cycling. Below is from the Time Trial of the Pensacola/Subway Stage Race. This picture is about 4 miles from Opal Beach. Part of the time trial was in the National Seashore parkway. Was one of the best races I ever attended. Alas, it is no more. This particular picture is from the 2018 Race. At this time trial, I posted my fastest ever average speed that was not wind aided.View attachment 8201003

VERY Negative. It was a posted race on a section of road that is rarely used by heavy traffic. No vehicle was restricted to travel.

You non cyclist need to understand. Paved roads were not designed and built for motor vehicles. They were designed and built for cyclists. Later at the advent of motor vehicles, said motorized vehicles were also “ALLOWED” to use them. (True statement, look it up)

Now consider, motor vehicles cause drunk drivers to kill both themselves and others. So, in my opinion, all motor vehicles should be banned. Afterall if it saves the life of one child, it will be worth it.

Man I loved the sound of those Merlin powered hydro's!

I watched them quite a bit back then, Merlin, Allison they all sound just so good. And they have a smell to them that can not be explained.

After they went to woosh boats I turned it off.

Those engines at full song, the best sound in the world.
