    Anyone know what's going on with the two wheeled land speed record? It was due to be run yesturday, but was called off due to damp salt flat. The last I heard was due to run today, but have heard nothing?

    The prospects for this to go well don't look too good

    Very harsh, he's a bit of an oddball, and he is definitely on the autistic spectrum.
    Can't really Slag him off for that. A lot of the racers don't understand him, so easier just to dislike him.
    Definitely follows his own path and good luck to him.
