question about top 50 lists what would the chances of putting the sae corrected e.t.'s and mph's next to the actual times be? it would make it a lot easier (and better in my opinion) for people who dont get the luxury of -da's, to compare times with mods and things like that. just a thought <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Re: question about top 50 lists Gosh I am not sure if we can get everyone to do that. I am trying to get everyone to list their member # so we can email them easily...
Us Chitowners race at 700-800 ft above sea level and most of the year race at 2500 DA weather so we keep that in mind while we look at the Texas ET's.

Re: question about top 50 lists You should start a regional list, or a track list.
No one sets records in the Western US. All our best tracks are closed, and the good tracks are all high altitude.
What is important though, is who you can beat. A timeslip is just a relative thing. If you have 12.00@115 slip at -1000 DA on a 1.6 60', but can't beat a bone stock Viper or Z06 at the track, what is the slip good for but toilet paper?
We had a guy come visit from Texas who ran 12.9 at HRP on street tires. He raced with us at Carlsbad, and got a best ET of 14.1. He now has a lot of respect for 12 second bolt on Western cars.

Re: question about top 50 lists Feel free to start regional or track lists if you feel like it but 90% of the folks on the lists know where each other races. I notice that folks don't post up best ET's from Bandimere and Bristol but if someone is serious about running a record they will trailer to a lower altitude track, just how it goes.
Re: question about top 50 lists Check on the actual list; many guys did list their DA. Mine was +1,102' on my 11.63 pass, so I've yet to get some unrealistic mineshaft timeslips. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
