2010 Dirty Dozen Discussion Thread

What if we started a poll on whether to bring him back on the site with his user name. If the po shows people want him back on then un ban him. I understand I don't know the reason he was banned but it would still be good to have some life around here other than Craig

All good in theory, but the poll doesnt pay the bills or make the rules.

AND, he poked at the wrong person one too many times and he knew exactly what he was doing and got the ban. Ask him, he will tell you exactly that.

Time to drop this.

[Metcalf Racing]

Yeah the yougotjunk name is done forever. I think he will be back just under a different name. I wasn't willing to do that but I got banned last time so I couldn't defend Rob not for causing trouble. Lol. Its all good. I agree with Craig and we should just let the topic die

[RIXXX93GT]

Craig your avitar cracks me up everytime I look at it.

[Maximus]

I had a dancing Milk carton, but it wouldnt upload.

Here we go again! Its almost time for the tracks to open! Time to get out and have some fun! Same "rules" as last year (as greatly outlined by Vinny and Craig):

Vinny said it best. It was his idea to see the areas fastest STREET Mustangs & Capris. In his words:

Also, you can expect things to shake out at the end of this season to level the street-car vs race-car issue. We're going to pick a test and tune day at the end of the season, have all potential dozen members meet at a set location and DRIVE to the track and make passes. This will weed out the 5 gallon fuel cell race cars, prove their street credibility as well as keep the list local. If you can't make a test and tune session around here then you aren't local. We may recquire that all dozen list members attend the fall cruise-in as well to once again prove their street creds as well as their involvement with this site. We don't need one-post-wonders claiming to be a SBZ member, making the cut and leaving somebody off the list with more of a street car and more time on this site.

So with that, I'll start the first round.
"His car isn't really a street car" is something I hear a lot. Problem is, everybody's opinion on what a true street car is will be different. As the rules sit right now, a street car is defined as having license, tags and insurance. I made it this way only to parallel the NMRA Wild Street definition. This is probably the toughest one to call so making these cars come out on the street to stay on the list will make things more fair in my opinion. This can be accomplished by requiring the cars to drive to the track at least once and/or showing up at our big cruise-ins.

Remember kids, this is for fun, bragging rights and a decal....nothing more. No big money prizes, no sponsorship deals, no trophies....just some good ole boys bringing out their cars and putting a beating on 1320 feet of tarmac!

Thanks for reading








Here ill post here since I am no longer allowed to post in the other thread. I just went back and read this for my self and I guess I was wrong. But however it does say umtr so those tracks should be included. Getting rid of the list will only lessen Stangbanger board activity. Its a problem every year because so many want to make the list. Everyone is competitive. The post count thing is a little sketchy but I've got more than enough so it really doesn't concern me. So if I get my car and engine back in time ill see about winning by the rules

[Metcalf Racing]

A Participating member of Stangbangerz. That means, you show up to SBZ events, you show up to some SBZ get-togethers, you also make one of the following:
-Running of the Ponys
-Running of the Dozen
-Local T&T at E20 or TS with fellow SBZ members
-Running of the UMTR with fellow SBZ
-Attend the SBZ Track day in July
The Dirty Dozen was started by Vinny to get ALL of us motivated to come out and enjoy our Stangs together. We all know Vinny loved being with everyone at the track and he looked forward to racing along side each of us.

-A true street, Ford powered Mustang/Capri with insurance, tags and registration matching the car.

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

-If you break, blow up, change combo, your off the list till you re-run the car. All times before are void. No "one hit" wonders. If fail to post up that you broke to delibratey stay on the list, you are off...PERMANENTLY.

Oh and one more thing...it is STRONGLY suggested you have the NHRA level safety equipment for whatever times you are running. Its not a requirement, but we want to be sure everyone is safe while they are having fun. Besides, most tracks now require the proper equipment.









Sorry here is where it says umtr. This should allow the umtr tracks

[fasthawk]

The post count thing is just plain crazy. You cant be on the computer and working on a car at the same time. Maybe some people would have faster cars if they got away from the keyboard.

[Metcalf Racing]

Oh I'd say for sure. Some of them may actually get a car

[flyin2jz]

Craig when's the running of the dozen day? I know I'm not on the dozen so does that keep my from running in the event because my post count is low and don't know a ton of the guys?

[Metcalf Racing]

You've posted enough lately to make the list

[stocknotch]

Nope...Black cars aren't allowed. Rule #137
