Default post corrected or uncorrected times?

is it "common" to post corrected timeslips? i say no. if you dont like the DA where you race, find a different place.

Post a link to the thread. That Magnum guy should post something like this:

13.9@100mph (4000 DA)
13.1@>>>> (corrected)

Posting a corrected number only, especially that is like 8 tenths, is too much.

If it ain't on the clock and timeslip, you didn't run it.

Judgment for the plaintiff!

I say calculated #s are a BS excuse. The only exception might be a really high area like Colorado or such, but I still post up what I RUN, not what I could have in perfect DA air.

Exactly! Otherwise it leaves the door open for other "what if" scenarios. You ran that number, period, now deal with it ... no excuses.

Agreed!
It's the numbers on the slip that= bragging rights, not the "if's"

Shoot, as long as my slip says "Winner" I'm happy

Amen!!

15 votes and either people are afraid to vote for the correction factor, or everyone is in agreement.

Want to hit on something folks just can't quit from doing? The statements of "I could have run a _______ if..."

I think if you've ran a number before, it's one thing to say you may have done it again. But if you want to pencil whip the timeslip into wishing a new best...
