Post the slip. Or e-mail it to me.
Digital camera is fine if scanner isn't available.
I know you ran it, but you know...we all want to see the slip!!
Congrats again BTW, that's a great time. You've got MPH for 11's all day IMO. :bowdown: |

|
| Can't Stop Spin |
Thanks again... I can't wait till I get the slicks so I can give your 11.9's a run for their money :thumbup:
And as soon as I find my usb cable :dunno: , I'll upload pics of the timeslips. |

Have you ever dyno'd the car? |
|
|
| Can't Stop Spin |
| nope, net since I put the big turbo in. I barely had time to do a quick tune, nevermind get it to the dyno on Friday... But maybe in a week or two I'll be able to dyno it. |

This week we've got something special for everyone.
I've come up with this hypothetical update to the list, read and enjoy.
Some new faces hit the Top 10 this week. Some very impressive times are being laid down by surprisingly quick Front Wheel Drive vehicles. Let's start with the newcomers to the list.
We've got Can't Stop Spinning who ran a 12.573 at a blistering 121.86 mph in his Dodge SRT-4 at Castrol Raceway. Normally that would be good enough to take 5th spot on the list. But another newcomer to the list gave us yet another 11 second entry. That's right, vr6T laid down an 11.928 @ 125.50 mph. This is good enough to slide into 3rd spot, narrowly missing second. (AKA, me!) That entry ofcourse bumps everyone down a peg.
Chindian improves his time from 12.2 to 12.09 with the addition of slicks. Because vr6T bumped pretty much everyone down a peg, Chindian now finds himself improving his time but falling down the list to #4.
Another newcomer to the list is Limey. Limey laid down a pass of 12.838 at 114.83 mph in his Dodge SRT-4. Wow, with all these Dodge's on the list, you'd think they might have potential or something?! With all our new additions to the list, it now would take a 12.838 to get onto the top 10 list!
Oh, but wait, we've got Ham Sammich who laid down a 12.609 @ 114.54 in his Dodge SRT-4. My god, the list is being over run by Dodge SRT-4's. Wow! It's a good thing the update is only hypothetical.
Honorable mention for this week would include Silverboost, who nearly dived into the 12's in Calgary with a fantastic run in his Nissan Sentra SE-R SPEC-V. He laid down a 13.17 @ 105 mph in Calgary. Additional honorable mention goes to, well, me, for beating up on a Ford GT down the quarter mile. Not because the SRT4 is fast, but because the Ford GT wasn't driven well - or so the story goes. The SRT-4 ran a 12.08 on a radial tire, not too shabby.
Well, that'd be the hypothetical update - IF YOU GUYS SUBMITTED SOME TIME DAMN SLIPS, it'd be REALITY!
...
So, no timeslips submitted, and therefore no changes have been made to the list. Get your slips in guys, please and thank you! The list is an "official" list, and part of making it "official" is having timeslips. So, keep 'em, scan 'em, photograph 'em, whatever and post 'em up!
Next update will be September 11th from slips received on or before September 10th. |

| I actually tried to scan AND photograph my timeslip, but castrols printer is such a piece of $hit, the text is barely readable to the human eye, nevermind a piece of electronics. The scan and picture from the camera come out completely white. I'm sure someone has a video of my pass. Anyway, I'll head back out in a week or 2, and get a few more slips (hopefully with new ink in their printer). |

Keep it though.
When I come up I'll grab it. Unless you better it by then, which I think you will.... |

Try scanning in black and white with no color, that's what I had to do with Rob's timeslip last year that was impossible to read. |

| vr6T |
I tried black and white but it didn't work. I got my scanner free with my new dell laptop. LOL I have another scanner I'll try tonight ...
I put the slips on my car at the VW carshow yesterday, and everyone had to block the light from the slip with their hand to read it, it's so shitty. |

You backhalf'd 30 MPH and you say your clutch was slipping. :dunno:
Edit: You forgot to post your 1000' time. |
|
|
| Ron@Revolution |
| Well lets put it this way last year I ran a 11.0 @ 138Mph with a 1/8th Mph of only 95.987Mph. And I believe on my 10 second pass I was only at 97Mph at the 1/8th and costed to a 127Mph trap speed. |

| Blaine B. |
| I see you still forgot to update your post with your 1000' time. |

Was your 60' just as bad as on the pass you posted? If you could cut a 1.6x as an AWD set up properly should you would have run a 10.5x @ 136 instead of a 11.5x @ 136.
You still haven't posted your 1000' time for some reason, maybe it slipped your mind.:dunno: |
|
|
| Z_Fan |
| And if you find time Ron, post up your R/T and your 330 in addition to the 1000 and then we'll have the whole slip. ;) |

You have to go back a couple of years before you find a Top 10 where the slowest car on it was running a 12.7x time. The last two years have seen the Top 10 improve ever so slightly, with 12.6x times rounding out the field.
The year is far from over, with two Street Car Challenges ahead of us – one in Edmonton on September 16th, and one in Calgary on October 7th – I think in 2006, we’re guaranteed to see the fastest Top 10 list ever produced for the Sport Compact / Import community in recent years.
On the last update, you only needed a 13.577 time to get onto the Top 10 list. Unfortunately for those aspiring to get onto the list, it’s going to get a whole hell of a lot harder after the impending update. The new target for those seeking fame on the list will be well into the 12’s.
Keep those timeslips coming.
Rice Eater, Can't Stop Spin - send me your slips guys so your positions can be accurately represented in the next update. |

So now that you are here again, are you going to post your complete slip as many have asked? |
|
|
| Ron@Revolution |
| When I have time, which probably won't be anytime soon I well post the slip once I dig it out. Relax I don't expect that slip to be on the list much longer anyway. |

I don't see anywhere in my post that indicate that know one else has seen my slip. In all honesty it's no ones buisness but Z_Fans if I want to be on the "list". One thing I don't see is any of your slips up there? :dunno: |
|
|
| Z_Fan |
I get slips and/or video via e-mail - so not all times are openly posted on the forums. But I am keeping the files (as you can see) and will post them on the Internet at the end of the year, so a persons time will be linked to their submission (for the top 10), so everyone can see the proof for each position.
Everyone has to comply with the same rules. I don't make exceptions for anyone including myself. I think that makes it as fair as possible for everyone. That being said, Ron will likely better his time before the year is out, and hopefully he'll submit video, timeslip and back-up run information for it when it happens.
At the end of the year, we can again talk about how we'd like to govern the list for the future. If making all submissions be required to be posted in thread, then so be it. I thought allowing e-mail submissions directly to me would open up another avenue to make timeslip submitting just that much easier. |

You are absolutely right. I have only been to the track racing once this year and that was with the Shop's 07 STi to do baselines. We have been preparing the shop cars for their season debut's at the Edmonton SCC. So far it looks like we will have our work cut out for us just to have Black Sunshine out there. The shop is really busy, which is a very good thing but alas it is hindering our free time to work on our personal projects.
From the video I don't see a slipping clutch or a loose IC pipe, looks like the car is pulling hard, that's why I think you are not posting the entire slip. :dunno: |

Well in that case I have a video and timeslip of the Sivik running an 11.3 from a couple years ago. All submissions should be up for public scrutiny if the list is to be public, I thought this was a long standing rule from days gone by when Loose/Insomniac used to manage the list. It helps to weed out anomalies.:thumbup: |

How do you see a loose pipe or slipping clutch on a video?:confused: I would say when you run a 10 second pass and are missing 12-15Mph that something happened wouldn't you? No sense arguing a mute point. If you don't believe me I could care less, that is your little hang up. I'm just having fun with the car and when everything gets sorted out I think it well be clear to you.:eek: Why would you want to see my 10 second slip anyway it was done in B.C. Oh thats right you said my car would run so much faster there then here, but when I ran my car here it ran just as much Mph on less boost!:thumbup: As with how the list is ran I well provide Z_Fan with slips and video when required and that is that and from what I read that is all that is required.:rolleyes: |

Change in tone of the engine, such as a free rev on a slipping clutch for example. General change in velocity of the car for another. Pretty simple actually.
As for the missing 12-15 mph, that's why I asked about your 60' time, a better 60' equates to a lower e.t. as well as a trade off on MPH. I thought that was common knowledge.
Cars will run faster @ sea level than here, that is also common knowledge.
As for how the list is run, that is up to Z_Fan since he is volunteering his time, I merely brought up the past for consistencies sake, try to keep the playing field and qualifications to make the list the same from year to year. I don't think anybody else has a problem with it. |

Believe it or not your the only person that doesn't seem to beable to believe it.:rolleyes: I guess if your not there first hand then something can't happen?:loco: I thought we have gone through this before but I guess I well say it again. Instead of worrying about my car get your own cars going already, and two if you want to call me a lier then by all means do it to my face! I don't see what all the fuse is about since you have been talking about a 10 second car coming from your shop for 3 - 4 years now and as of right now you have nothing to show for it. Oh unless you call jumping on anyone who has a fast cars band wagon like it was your own, having something to show for it. :asshole: I'm done with arguing with you year after year. I well as stated before submit what is required to Z_Fan and that well be that.:drama: |

Rest assured I am not the only one. You obviously pulled out the slip some time in the recent past to be able to post such accurate 1/8th #'s and such, surely you can't have forgotten where you put it or buried it that deep.
I have witnessed with my own eyes anomalies at the track which turned out to be timing errors etc. I was part of one when the Sivik ran 11.3 two years ago. That's why the public has always had the ability to scrutinize the timeslips and video's to uncover anomalies. You are the only one that seems to have a problem with people asking questions about the details of how your timeslip breaks down, everybody else on the list I think has posted the entire timeslip. I am not calling you a liar but I think you enjoy the drama otherwise you would have posted the timeslip of your run, which would eliminate any questioning of your claims that an intercooler hose fell off or your clutch was slipping. You are obviously making good power, there is no doubt about that and good work. I just don't understand the secrecy on your part by not posting the complete timeslip which would back up your claims.
As for the bandwagon claim, the only car I have touted about that I had a significant hand in creating is Black Sunshine, and you are right, I won't be happy until it runs a 10 second pass. After eliminating weak links after every outing, the car is almost ready for its next trip to the quarter mile to run the #'s that truley count. I predict another marathon wrenching session in the days and nights before September 16, 2006 for us, seeing how the hoist is booked solid at the shop for the next few weeks with work. Customers cars come before shop cars on the priority schedule at the shop.
I am not arguing, I am just asking questions which you are evasive about answering for some reason. If my car was the fastest in Alberta with a timeslip and video to back it up, I would have that shit up for all to see. If you don't believe me, you can look to two years ago when the Sivik supposedly ran 11.3 against Rob's Daytona. |
|
|
| Ron@Revolution |
| Maybe I'm just taking shit the wrong way then Blaine I've been up now for just over 22 Hours straight, well leave it at that. I would say that since the car has run atleast 8-10 Passes under 11.3 and about the same over 135Mph it wasn't a one hit wonder. And as far as working weak links out that shit never seems to end. |

I think you and Blaine are just like, catalysts for shit disturbing. On your own, just fine, but put you two together, and fireworks. Makes for entertaining reads anyways. Just got to remember to smile and not take anything too seriously. :)
Blaine has finally convinced me to try a few cheat-gas passes, and against my better judgement I think we're going to give it a go. Maybe, if the car gets put together in the first place and also holds together for the run (I'm thinking tcase is gonna be a goner, speaking of weak links), I'll get to see what a 130ish pass is like. Hey, on a completely unrelated subject, does anyone know a discrete place to purchase adult depends?... For the record though, no matter what it runs, I still won't consider it an honest 'street car' time while running on race gas. I really don't want to open up this can of worms again this year, but I just want to be 'on the record' about that :).
We haven't got to play near as much as we wanted to this year, again, with the setting up the shop and customers taking up all the quality time (not that I'm complaining, honestly), but one of these years, just maybe... But right now, the only contender is the talon, the 7 needs serious frame and drivetrain work before we lay down the kind of power we want to (I don't want to twist the frame), the STi just came in (Traded the '05 for an '07), and the GT-R is just now finally getting bodyshop time to repair the damage from our little incident in mexico last year. Sigh... |

The slip is hard to read, as Castrol's printer obviously was on the fritz.
Here is how I have interpreted the slip.
0.336
1.783
5.431
8.284
85.96
10.788
12.848
108.84
If you could correct that (if you can tell on the original LOL) - then let me know the exact numbers if possible. It's not absolutely necessary, but is always nice to make sure the entry is fully accurate.
I also assumed your Talon is AWD. |

you should change your clutch first. with a 2.2 and that trap speed you should be running mid 13s |

One Big Update:
There has been much to update on this go-around. Some super impressive times from the Sport Compact / Import community in Calgary & Edmonton. This one is big, so let’s get started shall we…might want to set some time aside as this isn’t a short update. OR, just look at the Top 10 in the first post and go, “Holy Crap!”
We’ll start with a 14 sceond entry for baker_jeff. His 1990 Honda CR-X SiR ran 14.014 @ 104mph at Castrol Raceway. So close to the 13’s – a slightly improved 60 foot and 13’s are yours for the taking. Thanks for the entry, and the master list is published (in thread) monthly. I’ll post it up after this post though, so you can see it right away.
Chindian bested my time in his SRT-4. That’s right, he laid down a pass of 11.914 @ 121 mph on September 1st. At the time he ran it, it was good enough to steal the #2 position by 0.002. Two one thousandths of a second is the difference. How very sweet for him, and how incredibly crappy #2, AKA – for me. But, that’s racing, and major congratulations go his way for setting the fastest pass by an SRT-4 in Calgary (and Alberta) – ever. Well, until September 8th happened…which is why Chindian is in the #3 spot on the Top 10 with his 11.914. Expect more out of Chindian when he runs at the SCC in Edmonton next week. I think 11.8’s, possibly even 11.7’s out of this car will be seen before the year is over.
Newcomer to the list this week is Autodream’s S14. Nguyen at the wheel in the 240sx laid down a pass of 12.559 @ 118.48 in Calgary. Good run, congratulations. I think even faster times are going to come from this car, just give it a little more traction as it has the MPH for 11’s. This pass takes the #7 spot on the Top 10.
We’ve also got two time improvements by other folks already holding positions on the list. Can’t Stop Spin improved to a 12.2x time, and Rice Eater improved to a 12.3x time. Since Rice Eater didn’t submit his slip to me, he’s pretty much fallen off the list. So, get me the slip buddy. Don’t want people running around saying your car is slow now do ya? Rice Eater winds up on the bump position after all the shuffling. Well, let’s talk about the slip we did receive…
Can’t Stop Spin improved his personal best by a few tenths, and moves further up the list. His 12.236 @ 120.90 is good to snag the #5 position on the list. Excellent run, and I think it’s fair to say you definitely will see 11’s out of that machine, and that’s exciting! You’ll be the fifth 11 second entry when you do it, and I can think of 2 more 11 second cars just waiting to happen…WOW! Imagine 7 spots tied up by 11 second cars! Holy shit!
Another Newcomer to the list is calgarysrt4. Recently installing Stage 3 into his 2004 Dodge SRT-4, he ran a 12.745 @ 114.73 his first evening out with his hardware upgrades. Good enough to slide gracefully into the #9 spot.
And now, perhaps some news that is almost as disgusting as Chindian stealing (albeit temporarily) my #2 position. Silverboost, who’s been on the list for quite a while, ran a 12.97 in his Nissan Sentra SE-R SPEC-V at Race City. Trapping at 107.21 mph, this run should have claimed a spot on the Top 10. However, it’s not good enough to grace the list. A true tragedy – and so I’ve decided to start to publish the honorable mention list, which I have done in the past while maintaining the Top 10 list. The honorable mention list keeps track of the next 5 fastest cars – those narrowly missing the Top 10 list. Great run Silverboost, Great run! It might not be on the list, but this is the to my knowledge the fastest pass made by a SPEC-V in Alberta. Congrats again.
Another fast pass was made by Phil, aka notaturbotalon, who ran a 12.848 @ 108 mph at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton. An excellent time, yet again due to the number of new submissions and time improvements, it also doesn’t earn a position on the Top 10. But, it will show up on the honorable mention list for now, and congrats on that pass.
Let’s step back in time to September 1st, when Chindian ran a blistering 11.914 in his SRT-4. Claiming the fastest SRT-4 time in Alberta – ever. (Taking it away from, well, me!) That mark was improved upon on September 8th, 2006 – when my SRT-4 put down a pass of 11.902. We’re getting quite close to the golden 11.84 required to claim the fastest time by a FWD, ever, in an Alberta FWD Street Car. Wow! Just Wow! Someone will do it this year, I guarantee that – possible several cars will break that mark – but only ONE will set the new record and keep it. In any case, my 11.902 pass reclaims the time for the fastest SRT-4 in Alberta, and means I retain the #2 position on the list with the SRT-4. Barely.
VR6T is really hopping along in his Rabbit. Trapping at nearly 130mph, he’s going to be the big dog, errrr, Big Bunny, of FWD vehicles on the list once he nails the launches. Expect to see this car not only run 11’s, but expect this car to be the one that is most capable of setting a new record for Fastest FWD pass. No time slip from this car yet, but it’s coming in due time. So, everyone on the list might well expect to get bumped down yet another position. This is just a heads-up for those already on the list.
After much debate [amongst myself, because I’m crazy], I’ve decided to submit a time slip for my Z. [see 780tuners thread for slips] I wasn’t going to, because I haven’t had it out enough to sort out the car – but it has run a couple high 11 second passes, and I figured with such a mega-update this week, I’d finally get the Z put onto the list. So, that gives us our fourth 11 second car. The Z ran an 11.988 @ 117.69 mph at Race City on July 28th, 2006…this run is good enough to grab the #4 position. The car wasn’t even running right. The Z actually ran 11.89, which is faster obviously, but no back-up pass was made, as I went home that night to get the SRT-4 and race it. Oh well. No time for the Z this year, as the focus is clearly my SRT-4.
So, that’s a lot of number juggling and positions being moved up and down on the list. The list is extremely competitive this year, and with many very fast cars expected to be running at the Street Car Challenges in Edmonton next weekend, and Calgary in early October, you can be guaranteed we’re going to be seeing more fast times by those on the list, as well as those who have yet to run. It’s going to be awesome!
On to the bad news. The list is really quite difficult to get onto now. You need to run a 12.754 just to obtain the 10th spot. The lowest trap speed on the Top 10 is 113.99. Crazy.
Bumped from the list are gpomp, Go4long, SilverBoost and tsi_neal. Wow guys, sorry about that. That’s probably the most people to ever be bumped at once from a list update.
NOTICE:
I will be going to the Street Car Challenge. Many fast cars will be there, and many will want to submit time slips. I’m going to bring my digital camera, and I can photograph your slip for you – to save from the hassle of scanning/photo taking/posting and e-mailing at a later date. If you have a slip you’d like to get in from that Friday night, or from the SCC event, this may be convenient for you, so feel free to take advantage of this offer.
The next list update will be posted on September 18th from entries received by September 17th, 2006. This is to allow for an immediate list update after the Street Car Challenge in Edmonton, Alberta on September 16th, 2006. |

Will we still need videotape of SCC runs? Or will you're being there to see it be enough? :). You know, just in case I run, by some miracle. |

If you run less than 10.99, yes. Video will be required.
Don't worry, there will be so many people taking video, I'd be amazed if someone somewhere didn't catch the run. I also think there are some people going up specifically to videotape. |

The Talon is AWD, and your interpretation of the slip is as good as I can get from the original. Damn 12's are a bitch, guess I'll have to run 11's next weekend to get back in the top 10. |

Hey Darryl since you are running race gas do you have the car ready so it wont be kicked off the track if it runs under 11.5 seconds? |

Question why a video for a 10.99 Pass but not all the others? To me it dosen't make sense if you go to a street legal or another event and run a time just becuase its not taped it dosen't count? I thought that is where the back up time slip would be used to verify the numbers? No? I just no alot of people probably run good numbers on Friday nights but might not have someone there to tape it. Just a point. |
|
|
| Z_Fan |
The idea of the video for those passes was just so that everyone could see them.
Reality is, IMO, as long as you have the slip, it should be fine. I think when it was originally discussed, we wanted a video so that everyone would be satisified and the pass becomes that much more undisputable.
I definitely understand the concern though. Totally. |

| Z_Fan |
I was going to post this up right away, but I haven't had time to dig it out. Finally, I've got it dug up and scanned. This isn't the work of the magic of photoshop, it's an exact scan of a real timeslip that I received - after making what I thought was my best run of the night when I was up in Edmonton. I was super excited to see the timeslip, and when I got there I was very very disappointed.
There was obviously some kind of timing error, yet we got slips. It's this exact reason why we need the back-up slip rule for sure. Ofcourse, people shouldn't be submitting slips like this when they know there is an error. :rolleyes: Yet I've seen it done before. There's a guy who submitted a slip on SRT Forums with a 1.3x 60 foot time on a car that ran 12.5x. LOL. There is no SRT4 anywhere in the world that pulls 1.3 60 foots and then runs mid to high 12's and it's a personal best... :beer:
The video portion is again just for everyone's curiousity I think. And further support for the timeslips. |

Hahah, no, I don't make shit up. ;) I ran slow cars all night, no big boys. Because they assume the SRT-4 is slow.
The left lane was actually another SRT-4. Probably one that runs 14's. He was equally shocked, and that's how I came to possess the "WHITE" timeslip. See, I was in the right lane, and waited for him to exit.
Bud Park, for whatever god damn annoying reason, just gave the white slips to whomever arrived at the tower first (instead of the winner). So, I originally got the yellow slip. He came over to question the validity of the slip, assuming it was pooched - which I confirmed and he handed me his slip saying he didn't want it, and thus I also have the yellow slip. :p

I have never heard of one lane or the other having "rights" to a particular colored slip. This is the first I've heard of it. I don't see what the big deal is.
Oh and you should bracket race that thing, it's damn consistent. |

Well, I sort of insinuate it. Mostly because in the past, fast car has always gotten the white slip when I was there. Guess it was either co-incidence or simply the person handing them out did it that way.
White slip is better for scanning / photographing too. LOL.
Doesn't matter really...now does it. |

| Ron@Revolution |
| Ussually that is how they hand them out white for the winner, yellow for the loser but I'm sure on street legals they don't pay much attention to the details since most guys are there just to test and tune. |

Because the Street Car Challenge in Edmonton is going to be pushed back one day, all the dates listed in earlier posts with respect to the next update are extended by one day.
SCC in Edmonton is September 17th, 2006. |
|
|
| Z_Fan |
No slips received, the big SCC event cancelled. No racing in Calgary either. No racing next week (Sept 22nd) in Calgary due to a private function.
Not too many opportunities left to run. If you're fast, better get out while you can and get some timeslips.
Next update will be October 1st (or 2nd) from slips received before September 30th. |

Post I read said that it was today. This morning.
So, I guess it was his first pass, and he never backed up his 10.6 pass...
From the other forum...
are we talking about "THE ONE",.. here? It oiled down Castrol with Castrol this morning and up on a trailer it went,... NEXT! |

| Hey guys just arrived home from a long day at the track. To make a long story short, I took a gamble on either running a low boost back up pass or turning up the boost and going for my goals for this year which was a high 140+ Mph, and a 9second time slip. My gamble didn't pay off I actually ripped the rear dif out of my car. Oh well win some lose some I guess, I just new after a shitty launch yesterday, and letting off and getting on the brakes early on low boost and running a 10.6 that my goal was in reach I guess just not today.:dunno:I well give full detailed account once I get settled in. |

The timeslips from today are even worse then they've ever been. You can "barely" make out what they say. I'll try to get them scanned if I can.
Blaine captured my 11.14 pass on video (take note of why I let off in 3rd gear ;) )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PQbVOi0Cc4
ps. The car I was racing in this video ran 10.09@133mph....
The exact mph I ran. I'm just not launching like him..... yet :) |
