Will, I thought there was consideration of opening it early for southerners. And it is a 2014 pass. Just curious?

Has to be posted within 3 days(7 days for proof) of the track visit date and I set the event to start on March 22nd as no one seemed to be ready to run from now until then.

So all of the people on page one that posted vids/slips/info were disqualified I suppose?

You must have added the date rule after page 1 of the thread. I didn't read the whole thread.. My track passes were a month and 7 days ago... Hardly two months.. But I digress..

No one races down here in May/June when its 100* plus... Not anyone that actually cares about their times/mph.

But I'll bow out... No problem.

A. No one has been disqualified as the event hasn't started yet.
B. the rule about the date was apart of the original drafted rules in the Oderabla thread that was posted before this thread was even created.
C. the rule around the date of submission is in place to prevent someone from squatting on a run for the duration of the challenge only to drop it at the very end and not give others the opportunity to beat it and to also prevent people from dropping timeslips for runs done previous to the challenge start.
D. Everybody has limitations whether that be Altitude, track date, prep, access to a good track, distance from the track, Temperature, etc. There is no way to level the playing field for everyone completely and using a slip from previous to the same period everyone else is running in puts the whole group at a disadvantage as we have to do it during hotter months.
E. This isn't about who wins but who loses. If you don't like the terms of the challenge that is fine. You have the freedom to create your own event.

I've been more than fair about the rules and stipulations when putting this event together. I've made them in a way to make it accessible to people in this section and create rules that do not bar SRK regulars from the opportunity to participate. Since you are a regular here in SRK you are more than welcome to participate in the event but you can not use slips from January and if you can't run before June 30th you default and lose the class you are in. You can try to slice this up however you like. I'm being absolutely transparent with my responses in regards to everything you have said.

Hahaha!!

On a side note just noticed your time, have done anything to go conciderably faster now? If not me and you could potentially be battling in the 10 sec club lol, if I can get down that far. Ran 11.4's 75 ago and 200# ago, plus mute aggressive gearing and much better tires! I'm hoping for for some 10.6-10.7x runs

Got some new slicks and planning on some more boost soon. I'll be disappointed if I'm not 10.6s or better for this event. Sounds like we should be a tight race.
