2009 Dirty Dozen...SUGGESTIONS!

[bkstang95]

that sounds like a street car to me but i doubt that car makes the list but it is possible. the rules what you let in or out is up to you that is what we are trying to figure out, like i said turbos make it easier to do but not every one has the $$$$$$$ to do power adders. thats why i said there sould be to classes.

That's the dumbest thing i have read in here! hahaha would you like us to also start up a government funded race series, so you can play too?! We aren't bracket racing here, we're seeing who can go the fastest!

Lets not go back in time and debate what a street car is .... this is not the point of this thread. I load my gear up in the car.... and go to work with it. My wife and I cruise over to a friends house, hang for a bit, go home. Shoot after it was done at Rigid, my daughter, who is 9 btw, hoped in the car, and I drove it to the BMV, had it inspected and licensed, and drove it home. I asked her on the way if this was cool, she replied without missing a beat, "Dad, this isn't cool, this is AWESOME!". Now don't tell me that isn't a street car.

Next year is going to be off the wall crazy. I wouldn't be shocked if we don't see the first 7 second pass on the dozen. So watch out,it is going to be crazy.

My suggestion, Just explore the "Broke" rule a little more in depth, and role with the rules we have. Lets have a good time. That is what this is about.

Street Car= a car that is raced on the street..
You guys want Race Cars that are street legal..
So all in all the DD should say "The Sites Fastest "Street Legal"Race cars".

The Street car record has to be won on the street........

if you are trying to say i don not have the buget to compete and that is why iam doing this you are crazy. i think i saw that there is 4000 plus members on here and only have a hand full that respond to this section. there are enough cars on here for at least 2 classes. not every one whats to drive around in a rattle trap with 2 seats &no carpet with no sound deading . i added more sound deading material to so i can drive it.( i still have not got a answer to my originaly ? )

[Metcalf Racing]

There is no need for two classes. The DD is the 12 fastest street cars on the site period. Hence the name Dirty "Dozen" My problem was I have a qualifying car and just simply got jacked

Its a conspiracy!!!
Besides, Rob owned the car (I heard he still does) when you ran that 9. So if you truly do own the Stang, we will see you on the DD in 09.

ok

I dont even have a chance in hell at getting on the dozen... my car meets the other requirement and i only got one nights worth of passes this year to boot. My 71 will never be destroyed and made a race car, so as it stands i wont honestly be on the "True" dozen next year. But all this bitching and moaning of what is and isnt a street car, or race car ect.

Well lets see, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19w-iZuPcEE
There is a 4 digit hp car cruising down the street.... stupid nonetheless but anything is doable.

Why dont we leave the basic rules alone and just make the clarification of broke a little clearer. Better yet, have a thread for next year, that you report what you broke/changed had to do, and let EVERYONE decide if its broke or not broke. Majority rules, done once weekly or something to that nature

Ok i'll now get off my soapbox i apparently dont belong on since im not on the "true" dozen.

I own the car I made the passes.. If I still have it come spring you guys will still find a way to keep it off the list

[Metcalf Racing]

I have the title and insurance and possession of the vehicle. I told black horse
It was Robs car when I went 9's but It's my pass and my car..It fits the rules I got screwed

Wrongo there Bucko.....you have to be the owner when you made the run. And why is Rob trying to sell parts off of YOUR car? If you think you have been slighted, then send me proof (a copy of the title/registration or some other document) and you'll be added. Right now everything is hearsay until you come up with hard evidence.

[Maximus]

The list is already Final. So as long as Craig owns the Stang next year, there will be no problem with him being on the list....Until he splits that Stock Block!!

[YouGotJunk]

Maybe you should have read the entire thread. It doesn't really matter now though. No matter what kind of proof we show you, it's not going to change anything. You'll still find something that doesn't suit you and it's just a never ending thing. Notice I haven't even been argueing in here, it's pointless. Year after year it's always something different. Whether it's new rules that have to be made mid year to keep us off or it be something else, it'll never change.

I think it is preposterous to think a select few would be kept off the list for any reason. Since you seem to want to make this personal, let me respond directly to you in this public forum. I have absolutely NO issue with either you or Craig. You guys build some fast cars and like to drive them.

I have been given information by MANY different people that the car was not owned by Craig at the time of the noted 9 sec. run. This fact has been upheld by both you and Craig in various statements you have made on these forums. Unless proof of the ownership can be made directly to one of the moderators on this board in the next few days, the list will stand as is. If proof can be given I will be happy to update the list and include Craig.

I will not stand to have my credibility and honesty questioned. I enjoy the way you and Craig fool around on the boards to keep things lively and contribute to many discussions, bringing foresight in your own way. When the fooling becomes attacks on a personal level I have an issue. I hope you understand where I stand and will continue to stand.

Thanks for listening. Lets get back to the garage!
