official "dirty dozen" discussion thread

[Ackbar00]

Its not fair to all the guys who support this site and show up to events...
Scott has a very streetable, good looking Stang, but if he cant make the effort to show up to at least one Stangbangerz event or contribute something useful to the site, then why should he be on the list?

Everyone else on the list has been to The Spring and Fall Crusie ins and/or running of the ponys. Hell a couple have made ALL the events and are regular posters in here.

Either way...

B O O H O O

You should talk MR. I cant park with the rest of the event.

[BUHBYY]

what Craig did at a non Stangbangerz function has no bearing on what the RULES clearly state for the DD

[BUHBYY]

Both me and Scott have been to several of the Great American Crusies. Guess that dont count eh?

Not a SBZ event just like the post before that is something for everyone NKYFBA has the most involvement from what I can tell , I am not trying to argue, rules are rules , Hell Mike (93 Vert) cut his HONEYMOON short to come
and run a stellar 9.88 on the brakes so I think if someone does something like that , what are you supposed to say ????

Ive got a great idea. Go ahead and delete my name off your Cincy only list. I really don't care. I have attempted to get to know some of you guys at Tri State, Edgewater, Kil Kare or the Great American Cruise. A few of the people I've met were nice guys, but mostly I felt like I was crashing someones private party. I think you guys should do whatever it takes to make sure that a Dayton based Mustang is not on your list. It must really burn people up that I'm the third fastest car and I'm from Dayton. My car wasn't running at the beginning of the year thanks to DHL loosing my cylinder heads for three months. I had every intention of showing up to the Dirty Dozen meet, but my two year old son had the flu. I guess I should have left his sick ass in the crib and got down there to defend my spot. You guys are unbelieveable. Its things like this that make me realize that I don't want to be associated with people like that. I doesnt't make my car any faster or slower to be on your list, so do whatever you want. Why don't you go ahead and delete my account while your at it. That way you'll have one less Dayton guy on your list.

[GTTurbo88]

Right now I'm #13,so removing Scott puts me back on the dozen.But I want to earn my way on the dozen.Scott has a very clean,fast, STREET car.He doesnt post much,but he does post.And technically,he has'nt broken any rules. You get on the dozen at the dragstrip, not your keyboard!

Thanks for the support Brian.

[GTTurbo88]

well, i did a search, i found 9 threads that he has posted in this year

that to me doesn't constitute much participation

i would say no

I guess the person with the most posts should be number one on the list.

He just posted two more times. Does that make you feel better?

[Ackbar00]

I got it! Rule Changes!

1. You must post more than 11 times this year. If you don’t, you are removed from the list

2. You must post something that contributes to the harmony and well being of the Mustang on this website. No useless posting will be tolerated from SBDD hopefuls. If you don’t, you are removed from the list

3. If you are from Dayton, you MUST make your passes at either Tri-State or Edgewater and they must be verified from at least 3 other SBDD members. If you don’t, you are removed from the list

4. You must attend a minimum of TWO sanctioned Stangbangerz events. Joint events such as the GAC, do not count. Failure to do so, and you will be removed from the list.


How is that? Does that make it better?

not at all

i'm not even on the list, just giving my opinion, did not know where you were from

but, in my opinion, 7 posts in an entire year, 1 of which was a classified

so 6 posts of contribution, 1 every 8 weeks, and only 2 of them in the last 6 months, just doesn't seem like much of a participating member

thats my opinion, doesn't mean it's right, but i'm allowed to have it

i do find it funny that you already increased your post count by 50% for the year, just because of this

[GTTurbo88]

I'll leave it to Vinnie. Its his deal anyway.

Sounds pretty much how it is now

[Badfbdy]

does GTTurbo88 make the list or not? He didn't show yesterday. He hasn't been to any of our events. He's rarely ever on this site. Those are the complaints I heard. It doesn't matter to me so I'm leaving it to you all for a decision.

I say he should stay, Scott did run his 9.60 this year and his car currenty runs. I feel to exclude him and make him an outcast just because he doesn't post, and he didn't show up to the race is wrong. We all have lives outside of message boards.

But it all honestly Scott doesn't need a person to tell him his car is fast.

All this has done was open an ugly can of worms that will only end up with many posts, no results, and in the whipping room.

My 2 cents.

Well put Mike

[JASON408]

i had a great time hanging with everyone and running some good numbers !next there a alot of very fast street cars on this board and we should do this more ofter to get the people that dont get to hang out other times because everyone is busy . that was the point of sat race to let the people who can not come to a cruz or a running of the bulls or some other event to come and show there cars off and to prove you can run the numbers you say you can run . when you go to the track every week the guy teching your car .after 30 times starts taking your word for it . and this board is the same. if you show up at a cruz or a runnig of the bulls .no one will ask is that a street car or is that guy a active member not just here for a list . i have seen gt88 car at kil kar and it is a fast street car and he seems to be a nice guy. but if you would have showed at the cruz or the runnig of the bulls or the race sat this would not be a problem .

[MFIELD]

All I can say is all hail king Cracker awesome run Craig!!! and congrats to all that made the DD. I was planning on coming but had to pull an engine on the wifes Jeep Hopefully I will get my shit together for next year and give you guys a run.

if hes made it to some events then fine, i don't know half the people on this list, i'm not personally involved in any way

however, as you said, if you don't post, and you don't come to any events, then what makes you a stangbanger?

i saw it posted that he hadn't been to any events, then looked at the contribution to the forums, that is where my opinion came from

again, if he's been to some of the events, then by all means, keep him on

[vinny5oh]

It's not an "us" vs "them" thing so don't try to make it sound like we don't want any Dayton guys around. SBZ was created to pull the local Mustang community together. I'd rather not have people try to rip that apart. Which is why I am going ask Paul that he PLEASE not get on here just to stir up trouble. Sounds like Ackbar is getting a case of the "Metcalf" and if it continues, well there's only one cure for that and I'd rather not.

I think the biggest issue here is that Scott gets on here, posts up a time for the DD and then we never hear from him again. We don't see him on the site, we don't see him at the cruise-ins, we don't see him at any events. Not saying that Scott should make EVERY event but it's hard to have somebody on the list that really doesn't support the site when there's others that call this place home, come out to events and have fun with everybody.

So after all that, all I'm saying is that we need to look back on the #1 rule for the Dirty Dozen......it's just for fun. No money. No trophies. No prizes. Just a name on a list. Shouldn't be this much trouble.

It doesn't affect me if he stays or not but right now he stays. The track is only open for one more week. Keep him this year and if we need to make "requirements" then they should apply for next year, not be instituted a week before the end....sounds like something NMRA would do.

What makes him a Stangbanger is that he signed up just like you and me, as far as I know their is no secret initiation with blood to be considered a member.

[Badfbdy]

Its just sucks that such a simple thing has to come to this.

[vinny5oh]

....as far as I know their is no secret initiation with blood to be considered a member.

Hey! I like that! There's a full moon out as well! Hell yeah! Full moon, midnight....the bloodletting will begin!
