Nope you already said to put you in the 12s group! I should have quoted

No buy in, you just have to wear a t-shirt of the winner's choosing if you are the loser.

I'd like to be placed in the 16 second class in my race truck...

Just messing, although that would be a funny joke addition to the list

Im hoping DA will make a good difference. My 12.20@111 was in a 2370da.

Another guy asked that. I'll paste it below. It's all honor system right now though so if you think you can hit somewhere in the 10's then opt for the 10's class. If you think that you are good for 11's then shoot for the 11's class.

Well, it's all in good faith that you are giving honest and optimistic best guesses of where you think you'll be landing. If you completely blow away the 13 second class and end up running low-mid 12's then yeah you'd win, but everybody would probably be on your *** about it. Now if you run a 12.9 in the 13 second class I don't think anyone is going to give you a hard time.

My way of thinking is I'd rather run in the 9's class, run 10's and lose than run in the 10's class, run 9's and win. Ideally i'm hoping to run in the 9's class, get some 9 sec slips, and hope I'm not the last guy on the list

The chassis has been 9.18 so hopefully it won't require too much dialing in. We'll see how it handles another 200 whp though, should get interesting.

slp is good. Asp is the lightest. They have had some issues though. I had a used one on my car and it broke up above 5k. If your not scared of the feed back and want the lightest asp is it. If you go asp only NEW! Im running a new asp now with no issues.

This is what I have so far. Thoughts on the name? If someone has a nifty name to use I can ditch the one I've been using.

"Slowest Eats Crow" challenge.
-Any individual that frequents the SRK section can enter this challenge. Please reach out to me if you would like to be added and which class you’d like to be apart of. Challenge acceptance ends on Saturday March 15th. 2014
-All participants submit 1/4 mile pass's from those in the Challenge up to June 30th 2014. Best overall pass will be tallied and ranked by ET. by class The participant with the slowest ET will be identified for that class.
-If you make a pass outside of your class post it here anyway. Participants who make passes that exceed the class will be handled on a case by case basis in a diplomatic fashion. This could include a standing in that class with the faster pass or be placed into the next faster class to keep the competition and fairness equal for everyone.
-This is a honor system type challenge with some stipulations and proof measures to keep everyone honest. It is not intended to bar people from participating.



Rules
-Car must be known to other contestants at the time of accepting the challenge.
--:This includes, make, model, year, general information, and a Picture/Video
-Full disclosure of detailed modifications is not necessary and up to the participants discretion.
-Car passes that are submitted must be driven by the screen named person. No exceptions
-All passes must include adequate proof of pass. This includes a combination of video, slips, car number, and/or forum regulars testimonial. This is a good faith measure to keep all participants honest. If there is question to the validity of a submitted pass then it will be voted on by participants where majority rule is needed.
-All passes must have time submitted within 3 days of track date on slip and proof must be submitted within 7 days of track outing but not past June 30th 2014.
-Participants can submit as many timeslips from their chosen vehicle and make as many passes as they wish.
-Numbers are final, no calculation for DA, deficits or bad runs. No phantom timeslips(bag blowing across beams)
-No fabricated timeslips will be allowed.
-Bikes will not be allowed into groupings with cars/trucks.
-All class’s are based off of time spread of x.00-x.99 for that group.


Losers Obligation
-Of those that participate the loser from each class must comply with these obligations.
-Loser must wear a shirt bought buy the winner.
-Loser must take picture wearing said shirt and post it on ls1tech.
-Loser must make that their avatar for the remainder of 2014.
-Loser must put in signature line for remainder of 2014 [I lost the 2014 SRK "Loser Eats Crow" Event] in normal text size and color.



Winners Obligation
-Keep the shirt clean and tasteful. No swearing or personal attacks.
-Winner of the class ranking gets final say on decisions for the losers obligations.



Class
So with that said this challenge isn't about what you have ran in the past, but instead what you think you can run or what you are shooting for this year. Afterall, this is how this challenge started with some folks being optimistic for the up coming race season. I'm asking everyone to give me their honest opinion on where they think they fit best.

That ain't nothing to be ashamed of MAC.

There are 2 types of people on this site:

1- can't beat a 5.Br0
2- lie about beating a 5.Br0

Thanks for your honesty!
