OK changes have been made- I noticed a few of you guys have a few companies and/or shops listed as sponsors, that's good and all but let's try to keep it to one... If company X is giving you parts, but the shop building, installing and tuning your car is company Y then I'd choose company Y as your Shop Affiliation.

The only way you would completely fall out of this category is if you used all mixed matched parts, and did all the work yourself. At that point- just put yourself or "no shop affiliation"

Make sense?

 

BTW...very rarely will you find only one sponsor even for the truly 'sponsored' vehicles. Limiting members to one isn't fair since you are basically making the members choose. Not fair to the sponsor who gets left out. Either include everyone, or leave out that column. Just an idea.

 

No, the column is needed and I hear your point on limiting to one sponsor- but we're not calling it sponsor anymore... I thought I was able to kill two birds with one stone. The column is now called "Shop Affiliation" which basically gives the driver or owner of the car the oportunity to notate the shop that their car is affiliated with- not a sponsor for the body kit on the car, the turbo, cams, rods, postons, tranny, fuel system, coilovers, etc....

I agree the sponsor list would be too long for most. All I'm doing here is asking for a shop affiliation. If there happens to be more than one shop you want to be affiliated with- then heck- list them both. I just don't see that as being much of an issue.

 

Hey guys I'm developing a new rule as I've had a few PM's with the same concern and it's a VERY valid one...

Some of you are giving me times and traps that are rounded or have no tenth or hundredth decimal place. (ex 10.XX or 10.XXX, 123.XX MPH or 123.XXX MPH) It all really depends on the track and what they put on the slip, I know they aren't all the same, but I know there are decimal places lol.

This is a growing concern as right now there are people that have given me- say an 11.2 and they're ranked higher than the guy who ran an 11.23- this isn't right...

So what I plan to do is keep the list as is- knowing that it's going to change A LOT in the next few months, but I also ask all of you who may know your exact ET or MPH to post it or scan your slip- this will help me keep the list accurate. a tenth of a second is big in race land.

Also once we get further down the season I'm thinking of requiring a scanned slip or vid for the top 5- for 100% validity.

Sound good?

 

I ran 7.123 sec at 88mph!

 

Post number 1 updated with the new rule.

 

Sounds good

 

We're learning as we go- even in the lists second year- some comments I get are very good and that's what's going to make this thing accurate- and hopefully at somepoint we can make even more of it, like add prizes, shirts, avatars, etc... For the winners.

 

Anything new guys? Shakedown runs- tracks re-opening this weekend?

 

I burnt up my Tilton clutch for the 2nd time lol

 

Dude you are a maniac, its awsome though!!! I just looked at your full mod list for the first time, great stuff i am jealous!!

Good luck with a gettin the clutch rebuilt and some 9 sec passes!!!!

Josh

 

+1 Mine went this weekend as well....

 

So, with twin Carbon Tiltons burning up left and right what is the cost for a rebuild?

 

Tilton wants them sent in and they said a 1 week turn around time and $200
Im getting a 3rd wear plate then i will need the full rebuild But the nice thing with this clutch is you don't grind or lockout. It also makes power shifting easy

 

ahahah jease guys, is the titlton the best clutch to go with as far as you're concerned? Is everyone having this issue with HP like you?
