cereal killer What options are available? One that comes to mind is a simple WIKI category (Time Slips) where people can post them. Any better options available?
You take the prize for fastest on the forum!!!!!
What a data base brings is a way to also tract the data for abnormalities, like the 10.4 @ 133 run, you can see in the data wah actually happened , as far as NYC his data looks in line to all the other 10.s
I think two sub forums of this racing forum would best serve this excellent idea. Time Slips (stock) Time Slips (modified).
If a wiki works better for everyone I'm certainly open to that as well.
Everyone brainstorm and let's implement the best solution.
I think your idea may be the better one. The WIKI is a great reference for documentation but it's not the easiest product to work with. I vote for your suggesting if you are looking for input!
Time Slip Forums are up gents! Created one for stock and one for modified.
Two sub forums type in your 1/8th and 1/4 attach time slip. The reason 1/8th should be here is that some tracks only run 1/8th. Mine runs both BUT competition we run 1/8th only.
Also we would need to define what's not stock which may lead to disagreements. Example, I put a one piece driveshaft in for peace of mind but run stock tires...... to me that is stock. Maybe someone else doesn't see it that way. Same with an air filter but WTH do I know.

Stock is "right off the dealer lot". There are no gray areas. Installing a one piece DS is modifying the stock set-up. installing an aftermarket CAI is modifying the stock set up. Stock is stock. ZERO mods, "right off the dealer lot"
So I take it now that your charger ran 127.99mph you'll acquiesce to the legitimacy of the [email protected] run right? You've got buddyg hitting [email protected] and your charger running [email protected] basically. By your logic on previous posts your [email protected] is an abnormality, or buddyg can't possibly have run a [email protected] only 125mph with your previous logic so the timers must be off. I think a times slip data base is a great idea. It shows also how different tracks can simply mph better than others and due to track prep the e.t. may not line up with the mph but it doesn't mean it's not a legitimate time. You guys posting on this thread so far though should be commended for repping the hellcat community right! Great times and I'm sure with ideal conditions (neg. DA) and great track prep, 129mph trap speeds will be feasible and maybe even a 130?????
I don't agree but whatever and I said air filter not cold air intake. So that also means replacing brake pads to low dust then means not stock because it's not. And if you change tire brands but same size(not DOT drag radials) i.e put Yoko's on it with a "H" rating for instance.
Just getting around to read some of this stuff
Legitimacy? Actually I have more issues with the run after getting more info from Ricci. Lets be clear..... I'm not calling Ricci a liar, I just have an issue with mph and back half numbers given the temp, DA, ET and 60' time, the use of 18" wheels and the tire he used should not have changed the mph and if you look at the data from all the cars running stock that are in the 10's they match up and this run does not.
This is why a data base is important, you can look at the data and try and put together an explaimnation as to why it happened, I hope Ricci goes to another track and gets more data to answer why.

It's essentially 1mph faster and 1tenth slower. I don't see a huge discrepancy with those numbers myself therefore I don't see it as an issue. I get what your saying though, I just don't agree completely. For instance, when Carlsbad was still around everyone wanted to go there to race for bragging times. It was always getting a tailwind and not to mention the track about 2/3rds of the way down clearly seemed to just go downhill. Put that together and you got impressive back half numbers even when your 330ft was no better than a much slower run at another track. There will always be those tracks that are great for numbers and you race at one of them, maybe both. I'm of course referring to ATCO and even Englishtown has been known in the past to post up impressive times across the country, not sure if that's still the case. Coming from SoCal where we don't have anything left 1/4 mile wise but a cross winded elevated track with horrible temps and DA typically, I am jealous of the guys who get great times and are able to break into the 10's at all. I doubt any hellcats here in SoCal will get into tens even with DR's unless they are not stock. Conditions and track prep are just not good for numbers. We realize just about everyone in the country can run faster times then we can over here, so maybe small discrepancies in times really don't bother us all that much. At least they don't bother me.
