Well?? Wheres the Pictures????

Congrats to everyone that had personal bests today

[ibstrokin]

Thanks,Chad and I both duked it out until the very end. Both our cars have too much gear( which we will both resolve over the winter) and we were hitting the rev limiter very early. Mine hit the limiter around 1k', I think Chads was about the same. next year should see signifacant improvements for both.

Just remember that if it's only fun for you, it's isn't fun.

This isn't what you think Vinny. I met Chad in Germantown about 8yrs ago and we were supposed to race. We went to go do so and we got separated so chad snapped off a buddie of mine instead. We have never raced on the street ever!! I don't think we've raced at the track ever either.
We had a very close race that probably would have just been dropped at that but we couldn't just have our underdog victory. I was accused of running a short 1/4. It was little short but it was do to some craziness. I think he lifted he thinks I lifted. All in all it was fun. And you know win or lose we have jokes.

Now who's being funny?
Just like it says in the opening post....."Don't sing it, just bring it."

And on that note.....here's a question to ponder over the winter.....
"What's the DD '07 list gonna look like?"
My guess, I'd say the first 6 spots will be nines or under.


Meeting Notes from 12/9
And as far as the meeting went, a few things were tossed around, nothing drastic. It seems like the "active member" issue is going to more or less be a judgement call although I still think some "guidelines" or some sort of breakdown should be in place so we have something to go back on. I'm not meaning 500 posts before you can place on the list. I'd rather see people hanging out at our events because to me that is being more active than sitting at a computer. Schedules can be crazy at times tho and I understand that so perhaps a minimum post count or post count per year would come in handy. All this is for is to keep it local and keep it for OUR MEMBERS. Anybody can register on a website, post a number and be gone. That's not what we're looking for. If people are going to participate in the "Dirty Dozen" they should participate in SBZ, be it events or gatherings or just posting. Once again, an issue has been brought up that shouldn't really need defined but to keep it fair, we'll define it. Definitely.

The rules for next year are probably not going to change. We don't want a bunch of rules to cloud up the intent of this list. The things I do expect to change (as mentioned by 91lxnos, the former 88lxnos) is we may expand the 12 to 24. The top 12 will be our DD but the next 12 will be like a big "reserve" list in case somebody breaks. Those people are going to be the ones that have a say in how the list evolves. "If you can't run fast enough to make the list, you don't need to worry about what the rules are" seemed to be the general concensus.

Street tires vs slicks - don't care. Put DOT's on to drive it on the street and slicks and skinnies on at the track. If you got 'em, use. If you don't have any, don't cry about it.

trailering cars - don't care. If I'm going to drive an hour to get to the track, you bet your ass I want my trailer there if something does break. The car should still be seen on the street. If nobody ever sees the car on the street, it shows up to the track everytime on the trailer, then it's probably not a street car. It doesn't have to be a daily driver. It doesn't have to have A/C and cruise control. It does need to have tags and insurance and be seen on the street tho. (preferably at some SBZ gatherings )

Ehhh, that's pretty much that.

Let me ask you all this......
If the "Dirty Dozen" is just for fun and sticker at the end of it all, why has it attracted so much attention? Why has it been debated so much? Why do some people look to making the dozen as a goal? Why did two other websites copy us?

I'm not sure myself but it's friggen cool ain't it!!!!

LOL...

[5.0calypso93lx]

Truth hurts!

I think its caused so much ruckus is because everyone is do damn competitive. I mean hell, several of the spots on the DD were within hundredths of each other!
