2010 Dirty Dozen Official ET List

[beefcake]

Huh, I that that if you fixed it quickly it was considered maintenance?

to my understanding, a head gasket isn't considered normal maintenance.

[Whyucryn]

It is on a forced induction car, lol. Its not like he replaced the blower with a turbo. He didnt upgrade or downgrade parts. Does that mean if someone throws a tubular kmember in a car they're off the list? Or changes control arms? Those aren't maintenance either

Your exactly right, the car broke into a condition it could not run in. Was it too much boost? Was the tune too agressive? Don't know.

Just like my car ate it a couple weeks back and would not be able to duplicate the numbers.

I didn't make the rules, vinny did

-A Participating member of Stangbangerz.
**That means, you show up to SBZ events and get-togethers.

**AND**

**you are an active member on Stangbangerz forums (posting 100 things for sale is NOT an active member)

-Runs must be made at a local T&T at Edgewater, Kil-Kare or Tri-State with fellow SBZ members witnessing them (these are our local tracks)

-A Ford-powered Mustang/Capri with insurance, tags and registration matching the car. Pump gas, race gas, slicks, radials, whatever... But exhaust must run through a muffler of some sort. Turbos do NOT count as mufflers.

-Owner may have help building his/her car, but they, the OWNER will race it. No hired shoes to race for them.

-If fail to post up that you broke to deliberately stay on the list, you are off...PERMANENTLY.

-If you break, blow up, change combo, your off the list till you re-run the car. All times before are void. Your new best will be your qualifying number. No "one hit" wonders.
*Broke is: Something happened and you cannot make another run (or drive it home).

not trying to stir the pot hell i'm not on the list but technically he could have driven it "home" with a blown head gasket couldnt he?

could it rerun that e.t. after it blew the head gasket?

i ate a piston, i could have driven it home, it's still broke

[cobraman302]

Come on guys, are we really going to argue this? It was a mechanical failure, bottom line. That's pretty cut and dry. right? I know I wouldn't drive my car if I blew a head gasket! I thought the rules were pretty clear that Vinny had originally set forth.

[chad393na]

Not arguing the rules on this, I totally agree. My problem is, because my car remained on the list for two weeks after it happened I was under the impression it was not considered broke. Why wait until the tracks close to remove it? Hell, its got trick flow heads and an intake on it now, I know it would've went faster so I damned sure would have made it back to the track if I would've know.

the list had not been updated

[chad393na]

Yea, I know. I just thought after Metcalf made the comment about blown head gaskets not being considered broke, someone would've responded to that.

[djom1cincy]

Did I miss a post about this? What happen?

That means that you changed combos AND it was broke. Obviously you know that if you change combos that you are taken off until you run again.

I agree though that the list should have been fully updated with who was off/on the week before the final E20 Test n Tune night. But you did change combos so that doesn't matter. Sucks pretty bad.

[chad393na]

Did not think about the combo change thing. Sure wish I would have remembered that. Its sucks, I have been on the list every year since it started. Sure wish something was open this weekend.

This is why I asked for the list to be updated on a weekly basis. Even if there were no changes, a "No Changes" this week could let everyone know where they stand.

again, coming from the guy that updates once every 6 weeks lol

[Metcalf Racing]

No my only thing is I thought at the beginning of the year we talked about what was considered broke and we decided that a head gasket was no big deal as long as it was fixed in I timely manner. Not try to start problems guys but that was my understanding. But I failed to make the list myself again this year

[Maximus]

Im sure we could find someone to do it. Your busy, I'm busy. Hit me up with who you think could maintain the list next year.

If someone blew a HG one week end, fixed it and backed up his best ET, I dont see a problem.

i don't have a problem doing it, just at the end of the year with 1 change or something, don't think it was a big deal.

i was the one updating it all the time and you complained about it, lol.

as far as the head gasket, you nailed it, back up the e.t., thats what you have to do when something breaks

I totally agree. I know my combo change rules me out, but if the list was updated shortly after I broke, I would have realized I needed to get it back to the track.
