    Lightbulb 2021 Dirty Dozen Discussion Thread

    OK folks it's that time of year again so here we go.

    1) ANY FORD/MERCURY car or truck powered by a FORD engine with current registration, tags, and insurance.

    Proof of registration, legal tags, and current insurance may be checked before the final 12 are decided so please make sure your car is current in these areas. We don't want someone kicked off the list over something as simple as this. No dealer tags, tags from your buddy, or any car other than yours. Tags/registration must match car in question. Owner may have help building his/her car of course, but they, the OWNER, will race it. No hired shoes to race for them.

    2) Be an active member on this site.

    You don't have to be a post whore. Just show up at some events, participate in the forums, help others build their rides, etc.. There's no membership fees, it's all free. This is just so somebody in another locale doesn't pop up on the site, post a number and expect to become part of the list. Stangbangerz is more than a message board. Its a close knit group of enthusiasts that happen to drive Mustangs. Hell, some of us have other rides/interests too, if you think of this small little section of the net as a message board only, well, you're wrong. Twisted Twins will be allowed on the list from here on out. This site, and this list, exist because of Vinny and TT, it only makes sense to allow it on regardless of where it is now located.

    3) Break Rule/No Longer Own Car

    If you break (have a catastrophic failure of some sort, like blowing your engine up) post up that you have done so and need to be removed from the list. This also applies if you sell your car.

    The Dirty Dozen has always been on the "Honor System." When you break or sell your Stang, you are suppose to post it up so you can be removed from the list and give your fellow Stangbangerz the oppurtunity to join the list. If you've got a catastrophic failure or sell your car just post up that you've done so. We don't want to have to find out through the "grapevine" that you need removed from the list, just be upfront about it.

    4) Tracks

    Tracks will be opened up to allow board members that travel to other states, and other tracks in Ohio, to be able to use the times from these tracks for the list. We still want at least one SBZ member as a witness for Ets. If no member witnesses the run we will need a way to verify the run as legit (e.g., video, pic of the time slip).

    5) Cutoff Date

    The cutoff date for having your time count for The Dozen will be when the last of the local tracks closes for the year.

    Posts originally posted by vinny5oh, and still apply.

    The intent of the Dozen is to see who has the 12 fastest street legal Mustangs (or Capris ) in the area. Don't make it a bigger deal than it needs to be. Unless we decide to take it to the next level, we're not going to worry about a bunch of rules, who's car is more streetable, blah, blah. Get your asses out there, have some fun, run whatcha brung and hope you brought enough. The end.

    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!

    The "rules" are posted. I really don't want to get very strict on them. I tried keeping them loose enough so any local Stangbanger could get in on it at anytime.



    DOT tires will not be required. Mufflers for turbo combinations will not be required.




    Here's the list from last year. Hoping to see it get even quicker this year with even more participation! Now get out there and let 'er rip tater chip!!

    I think we should open this up to "any" FORD/MERCURY vehicle, powered by a FORD engine.

    First year of the fox chassis I believe. My first car was a 79 Fairmont wagon. Wish I still had it. That car was clean as hell and I gave $250 for it back in 92. Ive looked all over for another one with no luck...

    Seems reasonable. If everyone else is good with it I'll run it by Mike and see if we can get this done.

    That would be cool if I could get the 64 Fairlane on the list!

    That would be very cool!!

    I think Vinny would be cool with it, as it would bring more people out to the track and to hang out. He was always looking forward to seeing everyone at the Events and was super pumped when there were large turnouts.

    I sure do miss my buddy.

    I was talking to Dave today when I picked up the shirts from him. I said the exact same thing. 15 years ago, all stangs would get 50 guys trying for the list, but now, not so much. I think above all, knowing Vinny, he would want us to do whatever it takes to keep his work alive and going. Hard to believe he's been gone 14 years now.
    So, I agree with Craig. Let's allow any ford body/ford powered car on the list. After all, it's the dirty dozen, not the dirty stangs. Hope you all agree. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion. This site is ours after all. One person doesn't make or break it.

    With the social media craze, most forums have went by the wayside. Im so glad this one is still going. Maybe not as strong as it once was, but still going. I still get on here a few times a day.

    I try to send people here all the time. People I sell parts too or just talking about Mustangs in general. Im sure he would be happy that its still hanging on. Opening up the list may bring some of the old hot rods to it. Id love to see the way it pans out!

    Changed it. Highlighted it in red for now. Thanks for the great suggestion Craig, probably should have been done some time ago! Let me know if you guys think I need to word it differently.
