official "dirty dozen" discussion thread

Craig,

I agree whole heartedly with both you and Beef, that being active means more than just the board. Its always been a combination for me, board (very addicted) events and get togethers.

I have not chimed in till now because there seemed to be a pissing contest going on. I don't get in the middle of those, unless I start it.

Jeff

My 2 cents, from the information giving, no activity, no DD.

When this board started, it was Vinny and a few of us leftovers from another board. SBZ was started and we followed Vinny. As the years went by, the board has grown and MANY MANY new members/friends have signed up. Some of those signed up and lurked and left, while MANY decided that the company here is cool and we all have the same interests. As the new memeber decides to post and/or show up to an event, guess what...They become more involved in SBZ. It truly is an addiction.
We are by no means perfect and we try to accept everyone.
Anywho. Go back and read what Beef has posted. He has hit the nail on the head.:bigthumb

Im Craig and I approved/typed this message:lol:

or kinda like cheers(the bar)"where eveyone knows your name" if you slap a motor in the night before(LIKE I DID) just to participate in an event you might be a redneck i mean a loyal member.

would any of you know me by face if you were to see me. Im sure most wouldnt. That doesnt mean i am not a participating member would it. I show up at tri state from time to time but i bet most of you wouldnt know me at all. Doesnt mean if i had a fast car you wouldnt put me on the list right? Kevin

plus my post count isnt right. i have posted a whole lot more than 16 times. Kevin

I would know ya forsure...you look like sammy haggar...but..your alright in my book i dont care what the hulk says about ya

I may have a couple posts in the 3 word thread, but i also have about 1800 other posts, many about questions/problems i've run into, or trying to help out other bangerz if i've experienced their problem before. I personally like my hobby/passion for mustangs, and wouldn't change for anything. I don't see you on the list or "teetering" for that matter....:HYF:

---

I've never showed any interest in the DD and thats why I try to never post in here. Its like anything else, all the whiners and bitching ruins what was supposed to be for fun. Maybe there should be 40-50 other rules, you know like you must post 10 relevent posts per week, of coarse they'd need to be monitored by a moderator and brought under close scrutiny to see whether or not they qualify.:rolleyes: Good luck on your pursuit!

I show up to events that I can make. However life happens, so there's times when you cant get together on the weekends or racedays. Ask anyone who doesn't have full custody of their kids what they sacrifice to do the right thing. I for instance have to work every other weekend so that I dont have to work when I have my daughter, needless to say it cuts down on wrenching and racing.

were these qualifying posts?

like i said, if i was on the list, i never could have made sat due to work, however, i've been to the track plenty and been to plenty of events,

my L had i not sold it 2 months ago, would have been a 10 sec truck now, and it was driven everywhere this year

i know life happens, but some effort must be put forth, life interferes, yes, but not to that extent

Quoted for TRUTH.

All this BS over something that's supposed to be fun? WTF?! You'd think a top 3 spot was worth $1000 or some shit with all this "discussing". If he doesn't meet YOUR criteria then take him off the list and be done. Plain and simple. You certainly don't need page after page of all this crap. For the record, I'm not reading many posts that would make him WANT to be a part of this site. I know one of you smart fuckers will say "he's already not so what's it matter" so save your breath. If you need to say that then you've missed the point. He may not be the only one you drive away. Honestly, this whole thing is starting to reek of being in the right "click" from high school days and he's just not "in" with the right click.

that is the point SBZ is a click as you put it??? we are tight nit but we welcome newcomers all the time just become part of the click ....:coo1:

'member that one time we all went to the track and had fun? :doh:

I sure do, it was last saturday at tri state. I don't know about anyone else, but i thought it was an awesome time and an awesome turnout, best time i've had at any car event in a while, and i didn't even participate!

The whining and bitching is coming from very few people. Thats all it takes to ruin this.

I don't even see a need for all these rules. Well i do have one rule that i think should be added, and thats COMMON SENSE. Its just not that hard to be honest, and remove yourself like a man, if something does happen. Its sad that people can't man up.

I think Vinny did the right thing by banning Ackbar. I haven't seen anymore whining the rest of the day, save for the whippin room.

You run Drag Radial class, correct? Now what if some guy shows up with Slicks? Of course its quite obvious its a Drag Radial class, but lets say that the guy bitches and whines to say he deserves to run slicks. Why should it be any different for him?
My point, either you follow the rules or run another class.

I really dont see what is so hard here...You support SBZ by showing up to SBZ events and/or be an active member on the boards.

I dont apperciate being called a fucker either:lol:

saturday was a real good time. Been a while since ive seen that many mustangs at the track at once.:bounce: :bounce:

It's all good Craig, I'm actually a fucker too.:D You kinda made my point though. We have page after page about this whole thing when really it seems pretty cut and dry. He's not wanted and/or doesn't qualify in the members eyes for the DD. So, just take him off. Let it be what it is.

I don't think he should be kicked off of it personally, and it seems a few others agree, but we are obviously in the minority in that thinking. You guys have your rules for the DD and in your eyes he doesn't meet them. The rule itself though, I think, is VERY open to interpretation, which is where it seems all the problems are coming from. Where do you draw the line for an "active" member? Does he/she have to make at least one "event" a year to be considered active? Do they have to have a certain number of posts per day/year to qualify? You see what I'm getting at here?

I understand where your coming from on all this but just because a person doesn't live and breathe this board or even it's events due to family obligations or whatever doesn't always make them less of a member. I don't pretend to know Scott's situation, but he might just have not been able to fit this stuff in this year. Anyway, this isn't my fight. I just thought I'd throw in a few cents.

Open to interpretation...that seems to fugg up alot of things. I see blue, he sees green. I see exactly what you are saying. That is why we try and make things clear. Noone is perfect and I believe everyone is trying.

Everything you mentioned are valid points. Hell, I have a lil one on the way myself. Will I be able to do what I do know? Probably not. (although I have seen a few members with their lil ones at my store) But one things is for sure.
I will definately bring my lil one and my family out to at least one SBZ event.... I already had my pregnant wife in the Orange Stang for the SBZ Fall cruise. The people I have met in here are like second family to me. I know that sounds corny to someone, but you know what, I dont care. This site is good. The people are good. The ones bitching and complaining, they dont know what the regulars know, Why? Because they arent apart of the site. If they would only come out (more than once) they eventually would see what Im talking about.

Ive already asked once. Please remove me from the list and delete my account. Im done with this.

You can log out just as easy as you logged in, or you could just participate more with the site and then all would be well but that is just my .02:bigthumb

keep your mfing comments to your self if you have a problem with me confront me :flipoff: :(

I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why is everyone so worked up on this dirty dozen this year??? i think its a cool thing that vinny started for fun...but all the controversy, whining, yelling, etc...makes me not feel bad for only visiting the track a few times this year & only turning in the ticket from the first friday night i attended last spring "10.47" with a ridiculously horrible 60 ft (347 all motor no power adders stick car btw). i ran quicker 3 or 4 times in the summer & didn't even turn the tickets in. i then decided to slow the car down for a couple stick races shifting considerably earlier to save the motor & wait until I made some suspension corrections because it dosen't prove anything anyway. ITS ONLY FOR FUN!! IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF $$ WAS INVOLVED...

its also interesting that all the gripe last year was about people trailering their cars vs. driving them to the track. i know because i got heat for trailering mine. i went to tristate to watch that last blast of the year the other weekend when everyone was supposed to drive in from MD. I got there when the gates opened and it was obvious that many of the cars on the list were trailered that day...which is cool with me...but what was the point of all the arguing prior...

There was a 10.55 by one member and a 10.56 by another down at edgewater today.

Oh, and did someone break down at tristate?

post up FOOLS

I seen 93 coupe(Frank) go 10.3 something. I ended up being able to go but did'nt have time to switch to race mode so I just drove it up and watched. I think popsfun needs a clutch.

:postpix:

TS was running today also?? Who broke??
