I really dont feel like we need 2 lists at all.

me and Mike had a talk with the owners at Bowman yesterday. they will open the track for us on the 3rd SATURDAY of every month. to race your car it will cost $10. they are going to give us our own lanes to run our program out of.

it would be nice to actually get more 7 and 8 sec car in the mix. as the rules are right now(will probably have to tweek them a bit)a guy starting in last place like i curently am only calling out 3 spots ahead, even if i won every race, which i dout will happen because all you guys are a bunch a sandbaggers, it would take 10 months for for me to get to TOP DOG.

i feel this will premote alot of racing between all of us. maybe Kenny McDonald wont have to shoot his car with 500 hp worth of NOS to beat Mike's Ram but the race could still be fun.

if guys dont want to be on the list because they dont want to be shamed by a faster v8 car. fuck'em. their missing out. and trust me, i could have got beat 10 times yesterday by a car in the 10s, 9s, 8s and 7s. but i could have also beat a car running low 6s.

Not to mention, there is also a winner to the guy with MOST WINS. i dont think this will make a difference really how fast your car is. sure there will be things we come across that will need to be changed but in my small mind, i think it will be fun. cook out, do some racing, a little ball busting

BTW..I can tell by that subtle change in tone that the Taurus has your respect. It's Ford's answer to the Z-car. Respect.

Hey Man, Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. I don't have an ego about anything. There is always someone faster than you. I still don't believe in your list. But, like I said do whatever you want to do. :bigthumb:

That's what non-Taurus owners always say. I am that someone when I fire up the Vulcan and cruise the killing fields.

Harry 11-30-2009 03:18 PM

Ah, you ride a Vulcan. That explains it.

I drive a vulcan-powered car...3.0L Pushrod V6. Recognize and respect.

Taurus,Moped there all the same. Is that a family photo?

I also agree with Dave, I think it would be fun for no money also, so it don't matter to me if he keeps his $25.00 bucks, and anyone else keeps their money. I just thought a second list would be better for the imports because when they call out a low 6 high 5 second car, which isn't me, they are going to think it is rigged, because they may not be that fast. Just trying to make it more fair to all parties involved, didn't mean to offend someone into a Taurus or monkey sucking dick thing..

Pesce Nero 11-30-2009 06:57 PM

Dave has put up $100 worth of sponsorship money for 3 different catagories:bigthumb:

Thank You

Nice!! :applaud:

Harry 11-30-2009 07:11 PM

Atleast you found some humor in that. :yourock:

///Mcompact 11-30-2009 07:17 PM

Thread of the week, IMO.

I like Darryl's idea. Import list would be cool. Hopefully it would encourage more of these poons to come out and run if they think they're 'playing on the same field' as other, so to speak.

I have a few questions though... Does the list continue on from season to season with the last set of names? How did the current list get to be the way it is, was it simply telling what you ran and getting put on the board?

That doesn't sound right to me. Should be a fresh list every season, starting with whoever makes the first few passes for that season. Then, once the list is full, whoever else can start competing amongst the list. No times should be shown or told because that would discourage some to run, and others to bullshit. It should be like it used to be, if you want to run, line up and run. No questions asked. So long as the field that you run on is competitive, otherwise it will never work and people will not even try to get on. The problem I see is there might not be enough imports to fill up the list. I hope I'm wrong though.

I hope all of that made sense. Seemed a bit complicated when I typed it, but I can clarify if need-be.

They flipped the list to get more races. There are a couple of threads sticky'd in this section about it.

Dave 12-01-2009 03:14 PM

I don't like the separation of imports and domestics. I know what my CRX runs, because I have actually ran it at the track. Although, I have come to the conclusion that it is slow as dog shit, but hey, at least I ran it down the track a couple times to figure that out.

Pesce Nero 12-01-2009 03:31 PM

they are all automobiles. end of story

some cars just have dyno runs in the videos:hysterical:

I think we should just work with the list we have now and see how that goes. We don't even know how active this program is going to be past the first couple of months.

You just like to stir the pot, Don't you? :mrgreen:

I was being serious for once.

wade w 04-18-2010 10:06 AM

I know this is old news, but I think it could work. Mostly because Im sure I would win.:mrgreen: All you have to do is average the miles and times they go. You could make a stupid trophy. Lika a gas jug or something. BTW. My trip is 134 miles one way.
