Yeah that is what I am going to do. Use my DOT approved Micky Thompson E.T. streets to set records with and just claim I was using street tires.

 

In case you guys havent noticed they have street tire classes and non street tire classes and my tires are in the street tire classes
And i do have the 4th gen na street tire record

 

My tires are in the street tire classes too. But out of common sense I'll tell people I used 'slicks' when I mention tires.

 

Keep telling yourself that maybe someday it will come true

 

Here's My time again on stock rims and pirelli tires

 

are there too many categories or what ? it is possible to have a drop down menu on the timeslips database over at MR, but we need a clear understanding of what the sections should be. it can also be made to search which would disregard cars that have boost, or cars that have slicks, not sure if thats clear. again with a good plan and a well laid out list it can be done. if someone wants to figure it all out, let me know and pm me the info and i can get to work on it, that way we wont have to look through 4 pages of times.

another thing is fake times, what do you do about that ?

 

example - your interested in seaching for 4th gen cars, on street tires, that are naturally aspirated. you do the search and lets say 20 cars pop up

or 5th gen cars with turbo and slicks, select the items from the drop down menu and 6 cars pop up.

i guess thats what im talking about, but in order for this to work we need proper catergories laid out in advance and more ideas, once thats done it can be put together. its a shame this org doesnt have anything like this because maximaracing doesnt see the kinda traffic we have here but i wanted to do what i could for us to have more fun with all this

 

i would like that itd be seperated into gens 3rd, 4th, and 5th, also n/a or F/I, drag radials, slicks, or street tires then automatic and manual. but it would also be nice to be able to pop up a list of all 4th gen na of FI insted of such a limited search. Heck if we want that id gladly be the fastest 99 automatic N/A and from the timeslip pages it looks like i am!! ha! thats great stuff somone please post a faster time with there 99 auto NA basics please. Ceaser just do that shiot up man, or should i say the wife?(weblady of the house). -Ryan

 

That shyte is phat! My coworker has one but it's stock.

 

Adam from chicago ran 14.8 or 14.9 in his 99 se-l auto back like 2 years ago. he hardly ever posted then, and has an m3 now so he never posts anymore.

Anyways ceaser to get things working as you described would require a database but I don't really know much more than that. Perhaps some guys that know alot about databases or advanced web design could help. As far as fake times I don't know what do about that, maybe just put an asterisk next to times that don't have a timeslip, or bold the times with timeslips and italicize those that don't etc.

 

I can make an ASP website that is linked to a MS Access DB. I can set it up so that only a certain person can add new entries. Then, anybody will be able to query the DB. I can easily make this happen. It will just take several hours of programming time for me to get everything running. I can do this on my personal webspace if you guys REALLY want this to happen. But the program will have to be configured different for every server it's on. My college senior project was this EXACT scenario. It was a DB of timesheets to document employees' labor hours, instead of documenting 1/4 mile times. "It's like the same thing but only different" - One of my favorite quotes

 

If you can describe in terms that a non-programmer can understand, what would need to be changed between what you could get up and running on your website, vs the exact same thing if it were to be put on ceaser's website or the .org.

 

maybe we should surf around lots of the other car forums and find a setup that is exactly what we are looking for, of course you may end up having to sign up to some of them ?

 

Well, once I write the program for my personal web server, if I want to put it on Ceaser's site, I will just have to retype one simple line of code that says how the DB is configured and where it's located on the web server.

Ceaser, if you can't find any prewritten programs to suit our needs, I can make this happen for you. My full time job will get in the way, but I can squeeze in one hour here and there to devote to programming. Once I write it and get it working, it's up to you to dress it up any way you like.

:edit: Also it will be up to you to put in proper security measures that will allow only you to input times. So, for one particular asp webpage, you will need to utilize your hosting service security features. But for the query page, everyone will be allow to access it freely.

 

That doesn't seem like much of a difference. Either your street tires are really good, or the track conditions just weren't as good when you ran 13.19. What's your 60' on the Toyos?

 

Those street tires are the best real street tires you can buy.

 

If I recall sr20 ran his run spinning the slicks some.

 

Actually spinning the slicks a bunch. A 1.99 60' on slicks is nothing to write home about. Many of us locals are complaining about the poor track prep. at Rockingham.

 

i cant wait to see how my new tires hookup (26X9.5X16)

 

That explains it I guess. Neill was able to pull a 1.8xx with his bolt on 4th gen.

What was your best short time on the T1S?

 

My personal best on my toyo RA1s is a 2.0*

 

Are those technically drag radials or street tires?

 

The RA1 is really a road race tire. I would say not quite as good as a drag radial.

 

I absolutely LOVE Fayetteville! It's quite a little drive for you, but it's a nice facility and known as a very fast track! I often got a tailwind and nice cold temps in Jan-March. Plus, I love the fact how the staging lanes are designed. It's all downhill, so you never have to crank up your car or push it when the line of cars creep foward. You just have to crank up your car when you get to the end of the line and are ready to do your burnout.

 

yeah i think they were good, but not what we wanted for the track.... they were really good for burnouts though

 

Anybody got trouble doing burnouts with slicks?

 

yep. fayatteville is a very nice track. its been almost two years now since you busted in the 14's there.

 

Yeah I know! I ran high 14s about 30 hp ago!! If I can get the weather I did that particular day, I will EASILY be 13s. Oh well.

JClaw, that is what the water box is for. If you get the slicks wet, it is EASY to turn them over. But once they heat up for 1-3 seconds, it will actually pull your car forward and slide your locked rear wheels. That is when you know you are ready. I shouldn't take more than 3 seconds to heat them up sufficiently. But some cars have so much power, that they can spin them over longer if they want to. Mine doesn't.

 

Sleeper was on slicks I presume.

 

I don't think he was on slicks when he did 14.2s. I don't think his 60 foot was better than 2.20. He just has a much higher trap speed than my car. Hopefully, he will chime and let us know what tires he had when he ran 14.2.

 

no slicks. I was using 205/50-15 small tires to provide better gearing off the line. They were just regular kuhmo street tires though. I will have to look up my old slips, but my 60 ft times were in the high 2.1x range.

 

For some reason I was thinking you were a 5th gen (didn't know your full handle!) - I can see you turning 14.2 with an auto with those mods.
