I think he's talking about the Spectre Hill Climb - 341 Challenge. May be the bad boy of all bad boy road races (one in which dumb mistakes are paid back with a trip off steep cliffs), and a race which Lou from LG has owned in his monster ZR1 the last couple years.

I'm glad you were able to help a fellow member. A classy thing to do.
Still not sure as most of us what the heck he was talking about. But if he is some kind of driver, I do hope he does not blame everyone else on the course for his mistakes as he clearly did on this thread. BTW..That was not classy..

He just needs to realize that most people on here (not all but most) are older than 25 and need things written in normal english in order to be able to understand. We don't understand the question, or the post if it didn't include a question. People on here are usually very helpful if the question is asked in a dialect that we understand....if not, then helpful, not so much. I know people in northern Nevada, and I know that this is not a regional dialect problem. I think it is considerably more localized than that.

Although I'm not sure any age group would of understood the post. We are lucky the Germans did not have him as a secret code writer in WWII. We may of lost..

Not being able to use English has nothing to do with being young. Honestly I thought maybe English was his second language.
I'm assuming he was using very, very poor english to say that he made 130 WOT runs? That seems like an insane amount to me. And possibly that he reached 168mph according to the car but 173 according to GPS?
I really have no idea, but that is my best guess at deciphering that garbage.

Not a generation gap - an education gap. Remember, half the people in the world have a below average IQ.And for those who understand, I should have said median but that would confuse too many.

It's not a generation gap...I'm 27 and have no idea what he was saying.

I loved this post and the responses! Haven't laughed like this in a while. I have to agree with most here, I still don't understand what the question or OP's reply was saying but WTH it was entertaining! If it's a twitter generation English I need a translator (OnPoint you got the job) ~ yo pop!

Tried to fix it, at least its all I could think he may mean.
This is so funny and so meaning less anyone that posts something like this and then gets upset because folks tease him a little is crazy.

This is a funny thread, for sure.
But it's a slow morning here, so what I think the OP is asking is, "if I do several accelerations runs and some top speed runs out at an airfield, does the cars computer keep track of that and cant he dealer download the info and say that I am abusing the car?"
I could be wrong, but if I'm correct I'd say the answer is "no"

I always wondered that myself. Does it retain any maximums attained? Speed? RPMs? etc.... It indefinitely retains error codes thrown , doesn't it? When you say "past X # of minutes", what is "X"? Does turning the car off stop the clock?
