Dirty Dozen, 2007

[beefcake]

I want to start off by saying i'm not trying to take away from the original intent of this by any means. It's a great thing Vinny started, but alot of people, including myself, unfortunately get a little too caught up in it. Jason, you do make a good point, but what if someone on the list runs slower at the shootout then what they had previously posted. Are they going to use that time instead?

i believe your fastest time for the year will be your time as long as you haven't broke

+1 That's the way it's been in the past. Sounds good to me.

+2

In case you forgot! this is how Vinny wanted it! PAGE 1, Especially the Remember Kids Part!!!!

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

That says it best!

I think the biggest issue was weeding out trailer queens and people that really don't participate here

As I said, I have to work, for the chance to possibly be in with the time i've already run, i'd be happy to show up somewhere and make the drive. I'd probably just run on my street tires, and then go, I just ran my time 1 1/2 weeks ago and have it on video at a local track, but i'd be happy to prove my street worthiness

after all, like vinny said, it's for fun
