I am not being an ass. Just stating that all your BITCHING about not being on the list would only effect him. One minute you say you dont give a shit then the next your calling out cars and BITCHING about how your car should be on the list. You didn't make the list this year, plain and simple. Why? I dont know, I think you should be on the list if you ran the times and the car isn't broke. Don't enlarge your ego and think your special and everyone is out to single you out. NOT TRUE Remember a certin red turbo car from KK??? his Turbo car that wasn't on the list due to the "Rules". He made his case and moved on He knew his car was kick ass and could take 1/2 the cars on the list. Just keep this car for more then 90days before you sell it(LOL) and prove your point at the track first of the season. People know your rep for street racing and I dont think you will get alot of takers. Just ask Chad.....GO on three! LMAOQuote:

Amen! All the bitching was kinda a buzz kill on what it means to be a part of the DD. This is something that i have been working at for quite sometime now, but things just never came together in time until this year. This is the first year and hopefully not my last year being included on the list. Moving forward now, we ALL will have to turn it up a couple notches to make it happen again.Quote:

Hope this helps. I could even strap it to a dyno and give you some #'s if you don't believe me... but you can pay for it if you doubt me that much. My word is all I have... and I live by it. I like to think I'm one of the Honest members of society, ask anyone who knows me and I'm sure they will tell you the same.
Heck when a fellow competitor broke at the track... I was trying to find him parts to get his car going again. I went over and introduced myself... told him his car was very impressive and nice..... did he do the same..... I THINK NOT!:(
I don't have a dog in this fight.. But I will say, I was there when Terry did the big wheelie !!! ( Awsome BTW Terry) And I don't know him other than by his car.. That day at the track, He ran his car two more times, And I believe drove it home ?? But I saw the car make two more passes and it was running as hard if not harder then I had seen it run before.. Just my $.02
Again Congratulations Terry !!!
Thanks, I hope it is too! I will need it to be, just to keep up.:coo1:Quote:

I felt it in the small of my lower back.... (hard to explain and you might even laugh at me) but I know it was making way more HP than when it ran the 8.80. We have more boost now.;) and the air was Great.
I wish that would have been a clean hit, that would have ended this whole discussion.
We have access to HP Tuners. When can you have the Vette down here?Quote:

The car is in the top 3 fastest street racing cars on the site. It's the same thing every year though. You nancies find some way to screw us off the list.Quote:

Funny you should mention that though, last night one of my cats jumped on this pile of papers downstairs (scattering them) and I saw a list that Vinny had made, of the DD from 2006. I'm not sure how accurate it was, it is in his handwriting. I'll grab that tonight and email you what he wrote.
Sweet!! That guy wrote all kinds of stuff down!!:lol::)Quote:

Thats why we are looking for suggestions. Check out the other thread and type away.:)Quote:

it's hard to have an exact rule
to say you have to have 20 non something posts or whatever, the end of the year, someone jumps on, trying to throw a number in the dozen, just like flyinjz did and it gets questioned,
ya know what, if you wanna be on the dozen, dont even put yourself in a position to be questioned, get on the boards, drive the car to events, it's really not that hard
every one acts like it's a magic formula and it's not, it's pretty frickin simple,
hell, i don't even have a stang right now, it was still at the fall cruise, wed night hang outs, ect..
Thats not true......... I've been a member forever and my car has proved it's self all year. I have a good number and met all the required rules, and you guys still screwed me off the listQuote:

I had read that the car had to be driven to the track. Since I'd be coming from 2 hours north.. would I be allowed to unload at the track or would i have to park the trailer and drive it in?
If me not being able to make the dozen or compete for a spot on the dozen, Would the powers that control, make a separate list for others that cant make it on the list due to not being able to meet some of the rules.
Wasen't real sure where to put this, so mod or admin's can move it if it fits in a different area better.
Thanks,
Andrew
It's not up to me, but in my opinion.....
If you trailer it down here, have valid tags and insurance and can take a member out on the street, for a short cruise, I see no reason to exclude you. The more times you can do this, the better. Maybe make the spring cruise-in. A little more activity, on the board, wouldn't hurt either.

A location for ALL members to meet at (yes you can trailer your car to the meeting spot) then at a set time, everyone fire them up and cruise to the track. Hopefully we can get a few dates and hit E2O, TS and KK. I think people that have never been to KilKare should at least go once and vice versa, those who have never been to Edgewater or Tri-State hit those tracks as well. It would get more of us Stangbangerz out behind the computer and out to the track.
Andrew, you post on SBZ, you have a thread detailing your project, you dont only get on here to peddle parts and make posts just to make the list. You are a true member of Stangbangerz....and if you trailer the Stang down from Lima to come hang out with the rest of us, you DEFINATELY deserve to be on the list.:bigthumb
And what Jeff said also. :)
sounds good then, when my car is even put together i'll try and get it down to kilkare, and try to get to edgewater.Quote:
