not if Silverbullet is taken off

[Metcalf Racing]

Yes I was there and I did witness it. I did look at it after it happened. Any other questions?

I have a question...I does your head fit under his dash while he's making passes

[YouGotJunk]

Yeah, since it's all your call. Did you witness his 8.80 @ 157mph pass because if not, it's invalid since your word is the only one that matters.

Your not going to take your ball and go home are you???

His fits alot better than Robs fits under the dash when you make passes. Sorry guys I couldn't resist. Carry on.

[Metcalf Racing]

Your not going to take your ball and go home are you???

I take my balls and swing them

[black90lx]

I ran the car after that happened to the header tube.

so what did the car run after the smashed header? you have been asked a few times and you still haven't said.

[Metcalf Racing]

His fits alot better than Robs fits under the dash when you make passes. Sorry guys I couldn't resist. Carry on.

I figure if anyone knew how kellys head fits under his dash it would be you

[mustangboy]

Care to explain, Kelly and myself barely even know one another.

[Metcalf Racing]

LOL....BABY @Kelly NoNuts

Continueing from the other thread:

Dont get mad cause I built a car that actually get's raced, not just sits in the garage because i'm not allowed to race it. Maybe oneday you'll be allowed to race again, if not, i'm sure Craig might strap into yours also. Then again, he might not be interested in slowing down!!

[Metcalf Racing]

Post up my 9 sec pass

[k062693w]

Wow, would this mean that changing jets, pulley size, boost levels would be changing combos? How about if you get a flat driving home from the track? What if you change exhaust from say bullets to flowmasters? What if you blow off your filter and meter on the track during a pass?ect............ Combo changes, "broke parts" and general maint. this is getting crazy! This is sounding like the NMRA changing rules as they go to fit the "Big Dawgs" in any given class. I thought this was about getting some kick ass cars to the track to run some Kick Ass times. Now making the dozen has become a challenge through the years, and it's proven you are going to have to spend alot of cash and seat time to make the dozen in the future. However I do remember having to show insurance card, title in my name, and so on at the DD shootouts in the past. But that hasn't happend as of late. Maybe Moderators could show up at the track and be able to make the call if someone is "broken" or "not"? This years DD is in the books and it is killer!!! Some nice rides with alot of hard work, time, and tuning to get there. It boils down to someone has to be there to make the call and that is final. Like them or not thats what they do. Kelly is a stand up guy and if he made the call then it has to stand. Silverbullet is the man this year and congrats to him. If people don't like the results then build a mid 8sec car and gun for him next year. I know I will be!!!!!! just my rant for the day!

DAMN Doug Good Post!!!!

I take back half of the things I've said about you...

You're still my BITCH

[Metcalf Racing]

but yes changing any of those is changing your combo

[RyanR]

Jim, you never told anyone before you backed it up, so should you be off permenatly? As for being at the track on a better day... yesterday was the only day we had.... and I work third shift the day before.... and mandatory ot, so I couldn't have made it. Sorry to disappoint you. Good luck on your car.... as I think you will need it, you had all year for seat time... next year I will have the opportunities you had, and I think this year is about as close as you will ever be to my rear bumper.

I hope your 15k dollar BES motor will out run a stock bore, small turbo, under the shade tree built mod motor. It should be.

[mustangboy]

Dont get mad cause I built a car that actually get's raced, not just sits in the garage because i'm not allowed to race it. Maybe oneday you'll be allowed to race again,

Hell Rob I'm not mad, I don't have any dog in this fight. If you still own your car you should be on the list, if you don't good luck with the next ride. You are right about my car being in the garage, I believe it will be running again very soon and who knows maybe I'll even be able to get a few passes next year but I'm sure it still won't be fast enough for the dozen.

[Metcalf Racing]

I think the running of the Dozen would have cleared up alot of this if it were followed thru with. This is getting bigger then I think Vinny ever thought it would. just some suggestions:

1. Two dates at the end of the season to run the DD
2. Set the dates early in the season so arangements can be made to attend in late October. ie (work scheduels, children ect....)
3. If you don't make one of the two events you will not make the list.
4. Moderators at both DD shootouts to "make the call" on broke or not
5. keep the list thru the year for say top 20 cars to qualify to run for the DD at the shootout
6. all times are thrown out. times are just used to qualify your car for the DD shootout times you run at the shootout are times that place you on the final DD list.
7. Make all cars run three BACK to BACK passes to prove street worthyness
8. Must run the DD with DR tires..This is a street car shootout
9. Car must be owned and registered to driver and proof of insurance.
You have all season to get a car out to the track to qualify for the shootout then run for the top spot.
Just some suggestions
maybe we need a rules board (NOT JUST MODERATORS) to define the rules

who would ever thought a sticker could cause so much shit!!!

Why not make them be driven in????

[beefcake]

Why not make them be driven in????

think we tried that and then some complained about "in case" of's with breakage and stuff

[k062693w]

Just my $.02 .......But instead of more rules, Wouldn't it just be easier to make everyone post a slip along with names of people on the board that witnessed, a video of you racing the car ( not necessarily your fastest pass), And proof of ownership..
And not make rules as far as a street car... Because in my opinion 99.9% of the cars (when they do run at the track) are not STREET CARS !!!!! If you own a tube chassis 6 sec Mustang/Capri then you should be eligible.. Or if you have a 10 sec car and decide to put a 1000 shot fogger on it and go 7's and explode the motor, Then your time should still count. Or maybe have an Ohio ODOT inspector at the track to do inspections and determine who's car is actually STREET LEGAL..

Again Just my $.02
I will probably never make the list, But i don't think that should limit the people that instead of investing $1000-????? to go fast in a street car is any different then the guy who does the same to build an all out race car...

[Silver Bullet]

so what did the car run after the smashed header? you have been asked a few times and you still haven't said.

Does it matter? It ran and I let out of it at the 1/8.
