JustPaus_88TSi Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Maybe take the "s" off of "forums" in the URL.. If that doesn't work, then I don't know brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've brought this up SEVERAL times and never gotten an answer. All my threads die out eventually cause I have better things to do than keep up on them every few days. I did love looking at that list every now and then just for comparison's sake. Kinda gives me a little incentive and kick in the a** to get things going better than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emagdnim Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Its a new beginning, why don't you be number one on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 We can start a new one, the old one isn't on the old site either for some reason. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'd like that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I created, pinned, and locked a thread to use. My email is jainsworth@starquestclub.com to submit time slip and proof. I'll then edit/add to the official list. Or you can post the proof in this thread. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I set you an email, I said something about it, but what kind of proof do you want? I know in florida, they just wrote the last four digits of your social security number on the car and used that for the ID on the slip. Up here, I don't know, they just write the order of arrival, so it could be any random number. Please let us know what's best for proof.

FlattopMike Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I think we can be trusted not to submit a time slip for a different car. That would be pretty bad if a person felt the need to cheat just for bragging rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here, I don't know, they just write the order of arrival, so it could be any random number. Please let us know what's best for proof. I guess I didn't word it very well. A time slip would be sufficient. Some people may not have the ability to copy or send a time slip. I was thinking about what proof should be required from them? A few fellow questers for witnesses, a call from their mom, etc?? Input is appreciated so we can set it up right the first time and keep the same standards for all who submit a time. On the old thread that was maintained by Andrew (Ultimate Lurker) you were not allowed to submit the 1/8 time if you were timed in the 1/4, only if you ran the 1/8 mile. How does everyone feel about this? Personally I don't see the reason to separate them like that. My thoughts are you ran that speed in the 1/8th mile regardless of how long the race was. Everyone give me your thoughts. Thanks, Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I guess a picture/scan of your timeslip and giving your word are pretty good proof, and hey, it's not like this is a big community with a bunch of scammers. I would trust most anyone on here to provide a truthful account of what happened. As for the 1/8 vs. 1/4. If you run the 1/4, usually they tell you what your mid track time and speed are, so why not include that in both 1/8 and 1/4? I have a problem with people estimating their 1/4 based on their 1/8 though. I think that should not be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have a problem with people estimating their 1/4 based on their 1/8 though. I think that should not be allowed. Totally agree, no estimates, just facts. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'd like it if timeslips (pics or scans) were posted on the thread like before. That makes it easy for all to see & compare 60fts, mph, etc. and see where the strengths and weaknesses lie in the run. This also eliminates any possible arguing over unseen claims and makes it easier for whoever keeps track of this thread (Jimmy). I'd like to see 2 lists for 1/4 & 1/8 since many of us don't have access to 1/4 mile tracks. I'd like to hear what you guys think about posting an 1/8 mile time on the 1/8 list that was actually just the 1st part of a 1/4 mile run and have the total 1/4 mile time also posted. I'd prefer to just put the 1/4 mile time up only, so I guess one time posting per run IMO. Can we contact Andrew to see if he saved his old code? Wouldn't surprise me if he did. Glad to see something come of it regardless. Hopefully many members still have their old slips/scans to resubmit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've already sent Andrew an email asking for anything he may have saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Would this be acceptable for the format? It will make it easier to sort when new entries are made? I'll also post the time slips. http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/2597/timeson0.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlattopMike Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I think a scan of the time slip should be required. This is 2008, everyone should be able to handle that. We will have to trust that the slip submitted would be for the car. Most tracks have both times lanes. We should circle our time. I don't see why we shouldn't be able to use a 1/4 slip to also use on the 1/8. Obviously you can't use an 1/8 time for the 1/4. We only have 1/4 tracks here and I don't have the power to put up good 1/4 numbers but I do run some nice 1/8 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I received a time slip from Technology. Does this format suit everyone? http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75936 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagemo Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I like this format, are you going to keep the spread sheet in the first post for easy referance to all of the runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlattopMike Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I just sent you one of mine from last year and I noticed his is from 2 years ago. Is that OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAinsworth Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Flattop, that is fine. I do need to know which lane you were in. Scott, I'll update the spreadsheet and re-sort it then replace the one in the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlattopMike Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Sorry, I forgot to put that in my email. I would like to say the left but it is the right lane. "401" "Bud Light" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
