TDL rule change

[Mike]

Right now there is a terrible discrepancy between the top 10 and the rest of the list. I have seen 2 months go by and these cars that by all accounts should be moving up the list are going no where or backwards. I say we band aid the situation for now, and allow all cars to call out 8 spots no matter where you are on the list.


Then next year we can use some sort of taper system like this:

25+ call out 8
20-24 call out 7 spots
15-19 call out 6 spots
10-14 call out 5 spots
5-9 call out 4 spots
1-4 call out 3 spots


.... and for those that are going to say oh! here goes Mike again changing the rules to make it easier on him. Well
This rule will do nothing but make it harder on me and the slower cars.

[Illusions]

I actually think this will help those who have broken and miss a month or two. if you race you're going to break eventually. It's just some of us break more often. We should be back for next month waiting for our next issue to manifest itself.


Edit: Oh and it's going to help you Mike....

[chrisheltra]

Damn Mike, your always changing the rules in your favor.......................

[BigdaddyDupree]

i hate mike. lol. i thought top dog was postponed for three months?

[Pesce Nero]

the rule change is fine with me.

on another topic

A few guys suggested that we dont run june, july and aug and start the TOP DOG back up in sept.

any opinions on this? guys that dont show up, keep your opinions to yourself please

my opinion is, that its only once a month, and for as miserable as the heat is, i enjoy hanging out with everyone but if guys are not going to show up because its to hot, well, that will suck too and i probably wouldnt enjoy it as much

if we are to postpone the races for 3 months then i think we should put something else together where we can make fun of Morey

Postponing it for 3 months is fine with me. Maybe by that time I won't be so busy with work and plus will have all the bugs worked out.

Oh wait, I haven't been there in 2 months so maybe I should STFU

[wade w]

It doesnt matter to me either way. If we have I'll be there, but if we dont I wont cry about it. It will give me some time to get the chevelle sorted out.

< sarcasim > It's to hot. A three month hiatus sounds good to me. Anything to delay me losing the Top Dog spot.

...but seriously

I think we should keep running,

if we take a break it makes it harder for some of these faster guys to move up by the end of the year.

If you think it's to hot, don't show up. Simple as that.

I'm fine with going out to Bowman the next 3 months. Even in the heat I enjoy hanging out with everyone and taking pics.

I agree with everything that Mike says (seriously); It is hot but everybody out there bought what they have to take it to the dragstrip so for one day out of the month lets deal with it and have a good time. I think that everybody enjoys getting together and talking trash. If you really enjoy it be at D's on Tuesday.

This is doable. I need a big fan for the shop anyway. Ill roll by northern tool and see what they have going on for fans and tents.

BUT i need some people on the trailer so i can justify driving the truck. Mike if you bring the generator ill bring the fan.

If you guys couldnt tell i think we should keep running. Im sure we can tame the heat.

STFU, no one cares about your turbo. Youre the only one with one. You sound like these lightning owners, trying to get everything in your favor. Just STFU and fix your pos.

[Illusions]

I have a 10x20 canopy along with an ez-up and a 30" shop fan I can bring if needed. Hopefully we will be back together by next TDL. But if we have to wait 3 months no biggie, it will give me time to finish up a few other things like get my HID's fixed. . .

[Derek]

Damn I could run in sept.
