Drew and I will be updating the 50 Fastest List soon. We will be cleaning up the list and changing a few things as well. In addition to the current rules, the following will be added:

1. All runs will require a date so we can keep track of when the pass was made. This will keep the list fresh, and active because we are going to put a 2 year maximum on each run. If you improve your ET, we will update the date it happened and the clock will restart. If you do not improve on your run by the 2 year mark, you will be removed from the list.

2. You must be an active member,reside in Northern California and still own the car that made the pass.

3. All runs must be proven with a scanned time slip. Videos are also always welcome and entertaining.

The Drag Racing Section has slowed down tremendously over the past few years, and we would like to see it become a little more active with some friendly competition.

I know a few of these cars on the list have been on here for quite some time and not everyone is going to be able to recall the exact date the pass was made. Please be honest, and give us an accurate date to use. If you still have the time slip, please scan and post it so everyone can have a look. I am open to suggestion to what we do date wise with those who do not have a time slip, or proof of the runs currently on the list.

Feedback is always welcome. We are trying to get a few more people from this site out to the track, and improving their driving skills, cars performance while stirring up friendly competition between members.

Drew and I will be attempting to contact the current 50 people on the list via PM's. This process may take a little while to work through, so be patient. Any info you guys have on anyone currently on the list who you know is no longer a member, sold the car or moved out of state please let us know so we are not wasting our time trying to track them down.

Spread the word, and we will see you at the track soon!!!

good to hear.. but i have a problem with the 2 year limit.. if you still have the same car and combo. yet haven't went any faster. i don't think you should be removed from the list.. if you still own/racing it, but have never went faster than your fastest time.. why should you be taking off the list? you still have it.. still race it.. then the time should still stand. imho.. [patriot]

We did talk about this, and the rule was brought up to keep people on their toes by improving their combo and/or driving skills, or be knocked out by other menbers fighting for that position. Many other classes including the NHRA does it the same way so the list does not become stangant.

That's how I got knocked off the list, after dominating for many years... [Wink]

I think it's fair though.

Matt,

Please post all the required info in the main Fastest 50 Post to include the full date the pass was made and I will get it added.

The time will stay posted for 2 years from the date ran.

This shouldn't really be an issue, if the car is still the same, the combo still the same, and the times still the same, just resubmit the latest timeslip. Should end up right back on the list in the same spot. Just a thought

We are sticking with the 2 year rule.

Things got the way they are by not having some sort of rule like this in place. It was also put in place to get people out to the track, and working on their combo and driving to better themselves.

If you have a run to post, please send me a time slip or video and all required info.

If you are close to your fastest pass, I guess I would say it's time to get to the track and work on making it even faster.

Post what you have now, and as long as it's in the date window, it will make the list.

Im not on the list, but I think it would be good idea that everybody include what type of trans they are running as well?

Fasthatch,

For now, this list will remain Mustangs only.

Like I said, I am open to suggestion, but how many other than Mustangs do we have on this site who are in the 11's at least for eaxmple??? This isn't a Mustang only site, so if we have some cars worthy, let's hear about them.

Epik,

I can try to get everyones trans info as I go, but for now, I wil just stick with the original requirements until I get things sorted out. My PM box can't handle any more with sorting all this out as it is, and 50 transmission PM's would kill it for sure!

Anyone who was on the original Fastest 50 List, and has NOT contacted me to update their info by this Friday, (June 18th) will be deleted from the list.

All entrys from this point on will require a scanned copy of the pass.

Since the list is much shorter now, and there will be quite a few people posting times, (New & Old) I will give it a couple weeks until I update the list. Please post all new runs in the main Fastest 50 Post in the Drag Racing section for everyone to view.

The following people need to contact me ASAP:

90lxfoxbody
twins
1/4Horse
gray03gt
carajo
Sac67stang
MAXPSI

I will try to get the updated list ranked and all new entrys that have been posted added by the 19th. Hopefully we can see some new people on the list from the Ford vs. Chevy event this weekend!!!

Now, get your cars out to the track!!!
