hah!!! cool video.
again congrats brian...:bisou:
and he didn't even think he was going that fast, wow, that must be a real smooth running buggy. i think he's going to get 90 mph soon enough.
(:P watching them try to launch the kite reminded me when i had only one kite, the 4.5 Ozone LD, and trying to launch it in 25-35 mph wind...what
fun!!! yeehaw:karate: )

Congrats Brian on a historic record run. Enjoyed reading your documentation, and the video that let us share your experience. Looking forward to
seeing your 90mph record.
Yes, flights were delayed for takeoff much of the day. Seems like it wouldn't disrupt that as much as landings. They have 2 runway angles to
accommodate the current wind angle. You get used to seeing the planes always land from the east then it looks funny to see them landing from the west
and taking off to the east.

Thanks to all of you...There has been some negative feedback from some and I am currently doing my best to quite them down. I am taking the GPS units
down to a GPS store to see if they can help me download the log. I did find some video of the take off. One of the witnesses shot for a moment before,
as he states "I disappeared into the dust".
That's kinda harsh. MG is only asking what the video is a proof of. Looks like a video of a buggy, nothing more. I think the title of the video is
misleading. I don't think the question was pointed at a person, just a video.
Look at this another way and it will put perspective on the situation. There is video of Arie's record run and his gps units. Let me state first
that I have never and still have no doubt about Aries run that day, but really what does that video prove? It shows a buggy going fast again, but how
fast is he going in the video? The video was handheld and not smoothly showing the buggy's travel. Witnesses, multiple gps units, and a video don't
really make Arie's run any more credible than Brian's. Many don't realize that Brian does professional video for a living and could easily put
together a video that shows whatever he wanted it to, but he didn't. He just has what he has and left it at that.

There were 2 witnesses. We heard from one. It is extremely unlikely that a witness would lie for the benefit of another. Video would be nice, we all
want to see it obviously, but video is not proof of speed. The GPS was witnessed, that’s proof.
@ Brian, congrats! And I wouldn’t worry too much about the negative feedback.

Being honest I did not believe it when first saw it, It wasn't aimed at Brian but having seen that buggy struggle in past didn't think it could do it
without major mods.
The thing that triggered it was the GPS readings which seems to say trip 1, trip 2, and total trip time.
My thoughts were last trip 6.57 long over 2miles. This gave a low average speed and thought it wouldnt get upto 84mph in that time/distance as how
people said acceleration was so quick.
My honest thought was Brian arrived, reset GPS, then drove to get harness, came back (1.01 hour time) then reset GPS but not max speed. So my thought
was speed came from Highway.
BUT I've seen the GPS up large and it says.
Time Moving 6.57 Mins
Time Stopped 1.01 Hour
Total Time 1.07 Hour
Avg speed 3.4 mph
IF brian had taken it with him by accident those times would be greater for moving, and average speed would be greater also.
I really do think Brian did it. The GPS figures do match up.
I know the video is odd that none of take off, I think that is what people got edgy over.
I agree with Graig,..also, this is for a harcore Kitebuggyer, like Brian, to important to be hounest about, I am hard core believer about this record,
buggyers like us, and Brian, do NOT make fun about such records..
Way to go Brian !!,....have fun in the next one !!,....feeling a bit sick that I couldn't join you guys...
regards, Ozzy ( just 116.2 kmh....,... )

I had a feeling when I first saw the vid that there might be some nay-sayers. It got me thinking just what is "proof". A video? No, because how easy
is it to manipulate that. Witness?, there again... no. Too easy to gather a conspirators. GPS?, Obviously too easy to fake that one as well. One
thing that can not be easily altered is ones character.
So I asked myself these questions. Did the conditions warrant the possibility? Yes. Was the equipment used capable of such a feat. The kite yes,
the buggy... if what was learned by previous attempts were resolved. I do not know this off hand but felt pretty safe to assume that they did.
Does the GPS show it done? Yes, 3 of them actually. Would have had some doubts relying on only 1 of course. Witness? yep. Ok, so the pieces of
the puzzle do fit. But for me the one thing that cemented the puzzle into a true picture is knowing Brian.

Guys, gals, Brian, gentle folk, it is very natural to question world records.
Currently, Bobby Muse has seen the track data and is a believer. Not that anyone doubted Brian's veracity, but when it's a world record, all of us
want it to be true, no mistakes and way to go Brian!
So, proof is coming to all! Popeye holds to a very high standard as do all of us this side of the sport. Nothing personal, all aoxo here!
Stand by for more, look forward to a big toast to Brian at the banquet!
What a run!!! There is no doubt, and what a run it must have been, pure acceleration, just really wild, and what a testament to the buggy, my gawd
man! Did you check your pants!
Folks, this was one hell of a feet, I so wish we had video, not to prove it, because we know he did it, but to ride along on this awesome journey.
Just magnificent! Would love for you to break the run trak out so everyone cans see what an incredible achievement this is!
YES! We spent the last couple hours learning how to extract track data and used the "basecamp" software recommended by the staff at Garmin. We have
graphical representation of his track and when that track is selected and properties are looked at there is a page of all the data points
corresponding with the track. This IMHO is an unquestioned world record run. This data file has been shared with Popeye the Welder, dean jordan and
Craig Sparkes, to show them what convinced me and they are all in agreement that this is indeed a verified world record run. Popeye has already
updated his site, celebrating the new Kite Buggy World Speed Record. Congrats "Flyin Brian"
nothing will top my 556 mph at jibe last year... angus saw it (the gps reading
anyway :smug: )
[you get funny looks from the crew when you insist on leaving the gps on during flights]
Gratz again Brian... Its all freaking amazing, i just like buggy vids... thats the only reason i want moar!!
