No matter what is said now or posted now, i agree Rich, Debi got to celebrate the time slip and will get to continue her celebration of the time slip, because she earned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mespock said:Well put Dave!! Well Put... There has been too much discussion.. I believe the point was made many posts ago... And Debi even appreciates all the input..
No matter what happens Debi still got to celebrate the slip.... Don't know how many Jello shots she did after but I bet there were a few!!!
That reminds me I'll need to get some good Jello molds for the July Meet....
Jibit said:I'll be honest, this thread has gotten on my nerves. Its mainly because of the know it all attitudes. I'll probably get ripped for this post but I don't care. I'm having a bad day so you guys can be blessed by my presence! First off, theory is never reality. Just because it should happen a certain doesn't mean it will. For those of you saying that because you have this and that mod you should have this particular time, realize that you can't add numbers and never know how things react to each other until you try them out. To top it off, cars react different. I know some cars......Joey's cough, cough, that are just mean bone stock, compared to any other stock marks. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but I'm also saying that you shouldn't be telling anyone if they are right or wrong either. Damn it! I need a beer! :drunk:
Btw, Driller you have too much time on your hands! Where the hell did you get all that info.........I need to take the time out to read it!
pepperman said:Since none of us were there that night but Debi, no one can prove that it didn't happen, all we have to go on is her word and that is good enough for me.
Damn, but I agree! I'm no big racer but have ran several cars many times to know enough that it isn't possible. Taking the car to the track weeks on end, spending money and time to improve its time is being insulted here. Its just not as easy as track conditions being right. Everyones tried to be nice and explain why, but still some believe.rocket5979 said:Pepper...you really think that.
Those of you who still choose to believe that timeslip give us real racers a bad name. I have encountered ricers with more sense.
pepperman said:Why is it that you must call me names? I have never insulted anyone or what they have done to better their cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My LSE I can almost predict my 1/4 time by looking at the 60'. I can actually almost gauge my time by looking at my speedo as I cross the line also. You regular racers know what I mean. If you stick it, and cross the line fast, you may have your new best. If you don't do neither, its just another pass, hopefully you learned something on it.

MsM8tress said:Yeah, any moron can look at the slips and see the obvious, but the slips only tell half the story. The 4th car to run down a cool, dry, clean fresh sticky track, staged shallow (just learned before the alleged "impossible" run), cold engine, and each run I made I changed at least one variable.
driller said:Class dismissed. Your homework assignment is practice your Reaction Times and work on your sixty foot. Be sure to study as there WILL be a pop quiz!
MrWilson said:you must be pritty good at bs'n yourself then. you know your speed fluctuates when your racin. you could have a fast speed and a slow time, cuz you spun it...but you could run the same speed, but a fast time, cuz you stuck it. and you dont realy know how bad the spinnin is till you see the slip.
scott9050 said:Let me be more specific in my laziness, VHT trackbite. It's a traction compound that they spray on the track to aid in traction. TNT= Test and Tune.
Cecil doesn't have as good facilities as 131 Motorsports or Rockingham, but they have the best prepped track I have seen.
MonsterMark said:And that's the problem sweetie. Some of us (including Driller) are trying very hard to let you know that it didn't happen. We explained WHY it COULDN'T have happened. No DRIVER in the whole wide world could have done it. Get it?
What can I say? Sometimes the messenger gets shot.
rocket5979 said:You DO know that one definition of insanity is: Constantly doing things different and expecting the same results. Or vice versa...
Going by your logic if the weather is right then who needs a turbocharger in a Mustang to run 8's in the 1/4??? I will just wait till January when its cold out and run my mildly modded LS and hold my breath in anticipation of getting my 11 second timeslip! hehehehehhe.
dont forget to look down at your speedo (just what is so interesting down there anyway!)
This has become more of a joke than anything to me by now, but if you want to know my opinion of your ways of thinking pepper, well you already have it.

rocket5979 said:It wasn't a mere comment. It was a very astute description based upon information presented to me in this thread, actually.
You've been on this site longer than me but when I jumped on, people openly told you were to go and not to come back. I'm no BSer. The LSE doesn't have such a traction problem so it s been very consistent as far as speed and time. I'd be willing to post all 14 runs and would bet that with drillers spread sheet you'd find its very consistent. Last weekend the track was cold and slick, I could tell the first run that it wasn't my best, I was right. Next run I tried to adjust, same result. You confuse 800hp cars with lots of variables with a daily driver with little variables. It can only do so much better, and at some point, you've ran your best. Sad thing is if you don't admit it.MrWilson said:you must be pritty good at bs'n yourself then. you know your speed fluctuates when your racin. you could have a fast speed and a slow time, cuz you spun it...but you could run the same speed, but a fast time, cuz you stuck it. and you dont realy know how bad the spinnin is till you see the slip.
MonsterMark said:Anyone know why it says Class 99.7 under the Right Lane HO1 car on the timeslip?
scott9050 said:Their site says this about may 5th:
BLITZ FRIDAY NIGHT STREET FIGHTS / NHRA STREET LEGAL
I want to see the car number on Debi's other slips. My guess is that they used a different numbers system for competitors and regular TNT people.
