2008 Dirty Dozen Discussion Thread

[Silver Bullet]

I just dont know why all the mods dont step up and say you are broke everyone here except mods say you was broke, you had to back up the time you didnt, leting out in the 1/8 isnt backing it up, I dont even have a car close to it, but i can clearly see you was broke. like black90lx said it isnt a 1/8 mile list.

I beg to differ with you.... a lot of people say I'm not broke and I'm not. I can still drive my car and it already has made the 8 second pass.

[91lxnos]

Doug is just trying to be an ass.. I wasn't doing any of this to screw you. I just think the car needs to be posted up. It's never been down for being broken

I am not being an ass. Just stating that all your BITCHING about not being on the list would only effect him. One minute you say you dont give a shit then the next your calling out cars and BITCHING about how your car should be on the list. You didn't make the list this year, plain and simple. Why? I dont know, I think you should be on the list if you ran the times and the car isn't broke. Don't enlarge your ego and think your special and everyone is out to single you out. NOT TRUE Remember a certin red turbo car from KK??? his Turbo car that wasn't on the list due to the "Rules". He made his case and moved on He knew his car was kick ass and could take 1/2 the cars on the list. Just keep this car for more then 90days before you sell it(LOL) and prove your point at the track first of the season. People know your rep for street racing and I dont think you will get alot of takers. Just ask Chad.....GO on three! LMAO

One thing I would like to see next year...

When the rules are final and posted, I dont wanna see anybody complaining about them if their car doesnt fit the rules. All the crying, bitching, complaining, arguing, etc etc will NOT get you on. Either step up and follow those rules, or stay away. Pretty simple.

Amen! All the bitching was kinda a buzz kill on what it means to be a part of the DD. This is something that i have been working at for quite sometime now, but things just never came together in time until this year. This is the first year and hopefully not my last year being included on the list. Moving forward now, we ALL will have to turn it up a couple notches to make it happen again.

HP Tuners or EFI Live?

efi live, but now i'm thinking i wanna try hp tuners again as that seemed to work best on the car

[black90lx]

But you have to prove it can the way it sits. You made that pass before the header issue.

[black90lx]

A little hard to do when someone is wanting the blower and the car is getting a new setup for next year. It should be a very exciting year for everone next year. I know of a couple of cars coming out that will be EXTREMELY fast.

i understand what you tried to explain. good luck to you to i hope your car is faster next year.

I'm glad somebody see's what i am saying. I don't have a fast or slow car but i think it runs good for what it is.

[Silver Bullet]

I can prove it. The header pass was the first pass of the day. So that pass had to be after it. That is not my video, it is owned by someone who just taped it from the stands.... they posted it up for the board to see.

The car is still together and ready to roll out.... I kept it together and did NOT sell parts off of it just in case.

Hope this helps. I could even strap it to a dyno and give you some #'s if you don't believe me... but you can pay for it if you doubt me that much. My word is all I have... and I live by it. I like to think I'm one of the Honest members of society, ask anyone who knows me and I'm sure they will tell you the same.

Heck when a fellow competitor broke at the track... I was trying to find him parts to get his car going again. I went over and introduced myself... told him his car was very impressive and nice..... did he do the same..... I THINK NOT!

I don't have a dog in this fight.. But I will say, I was there when Terry did the big wheelie !!! ( Awsome BTW Terry) And I don't know him other than by his car.. That day at the track, He ran his car two more times, And I believe drove it home ?? But I saw the car make two more passes and it was running as hard if not harder then I had seen it run before.. Just my $.02

Again Congratulations Terry !!!

[Silver Bullet]

Thanks, I hope it is too! I will need it to be, just to keep up.

Thank you. I did not drive it home, drove it on the trailer though.

Kenny and Rob was tuning on the car, they told me to go watch the races and don't worry about what they was doing after the wheelie!lol The next pass I got up on the two step and it went to 3000rpm (dialed way down and they killed the timing in the low end to 6500rpm) , launched and it pulled a 1.30 60ft... and I could tell the car was pulling harder than ever before... I felt it in the small of my lower back.... (hard to explain and you might even laugh at me) but I know it was making way more HP than when it ran the 8.80. We have more boost now. and the air was Great.

[Rob]

I wish that would have been a clean hit, that would have ended this whole discussion.

[Maximus]

We have access to HP Tuners. When can you have the Vette down here?

[beefcake]

the car looked like it was going fine to me other than getting loose, still coasted from the 1/8 to 120mph

The car deserved to be on the list. It met all the rules. I'm an active stangbanger, I've been to the events, the car ran the numbers, and is not broke....... They are singling it out. The car is in the top 3 fastest street racing cars on the site. It's the same thing every year though. You nancies find some way to screw us off the list.

[Metcalf Racing]
