    This is a 30 year old argument that people wont stop having. If you want a mild streetcar that gets driven a lot, great, enjoy. If you want a fast ass knuckle dragging street car thats a bitch to drive, stinks, breaks a lot, gets horrible gas mileage (thats really expensive), but has license plates so you can drive it when/where YOU choose to.....great, enjoy. I prefer the latter.

    The "street" car argument will continue on until the end of time. You have to set the clock back a few years to understand how all of this started. Vinny simply stated "wouldn't it be cool of everyone could drive out to a track one day and we could all find out who has the baddest street car?" Once that can of worms was opened we have endured these conversations every year.

    The way I look at it is like has been already mentioned - if you are driving it on the street and get pulled over, would the car be legal? (I will alter that thinking so that things like NO2 bottles can be hooked up, slicks be used, etc.) Basically I agree with Vinny's thinking of old, if it is licensed and insured it should be considered a street car.
    I can "Visualize Whirrled Peas" - thanks for the ride Vinny, it was much too short!

And forget the padding argument. Even the SFI pads are designed to help a HELMETED head withstand the impact. The soft foam padding does absolutely nothing in an impact, it is more there to protect you from banging your body parts as you get in or out. Let's be honest, if you have a cage in your car and you drive without a helmet you are taking a risk, period. Let's not get kids hurt.
    Life is risk, you gotta roll the dice occasionally. I used to sleep on the rear package tray of my parents mid 70's Oldsmobile, ride in the back of pickups, and I'm still here. You cant live a risky life without things biting you occasionally, but you cant stay in a padded room either.

    I agree with what somebody said earlier. There is always going to be bitching about the list as long as it includes the word ''STREET'' cars. Fuck it, just make it the 12 fastest cars on SBZ with 2 rules. Liscensed and insured. and be done with it

    then you could always have another list for the slow guys with what they consider "real" street cars that way they have a way to be on a list besides bitching about the definaition of street car

    I think some people get the DD confused. It means DIRTY DOZEN. Not DAILY DRIVERS. Most of these cars on here are built for weekends, nicedays, cruises, and shows.The ones that wont even get on the dozen. I would prob. bet, that anyone on the DD could go outside to go to work, and there daily driver not start, they could drive there old hotrod if they needed. To me thats a street car.

    Or u could make a rule saying if you have never been on the dozen or currently not on it, you dont get to give your .2 cents on the rules.

    I agree as it was started if it has tags and insurance (but has anyone ever really shown proof of insurance) that it is a street car. If someone wants to drive a hollow shell more power to them. If someone wants to run a car with all the creature comforts, thats great too. I had fun this year (like every year) putting times up on the list. If I got bumped so be it, if not great I got a sticker and something to smile about. Isn't that was this was supposed to be about. People enjoying themselves at the track, trying to run the best ETs they can? I will always throw my name in the hat for this.

    I say keep them the way Vinny made them and stop trying to change the damn thing every year. Its just a sticker at the end any way so go race and have fun(which is what the thing started as in the first place)

    The first time I ever met Vinny was him walking up to me, introducing himself, then asking to see my proof of insurance, lol.
