1/4 and 1/8 Mile Racing Talk about track times, launch techniques, strategies, etc. Check out the "Timeslips" subforum for posted times.No discussion of street racing will be tolerated.

I think 1/4 mile subject lines should include N20, N/A, SC or Turbo.

I think that each 1/4 mile time in the timeslips section should include in the subject line the means of induction to make it easier for people to figure out what they "should", "could" or "will" run. For instance if someone is looking for S/C automatic times, they don't really want to go through every automatic timeslip in there just to see if they happen to be SC'd or not. Same goes with all motor, N20, Turbo, SC and N20 combination, etc.

If they go through the fastest automatic times, then they'll see by what means were used.

I second that

To go even further, perhaps those w/no performance mods should have something like unmodded, no mods, NM, UM, or stock in the subject lines.

I agree. No need for it IMO.

Or not. If you think about it, nothing is really necessary in the subject lines. Year, tranny, etc. We could just have it so every has to search every single post to get the info they need. It would just be easier if the power adder (or lack thereof) were in the subject line for comparison, and research purposes.

I suggested this before.

To go even further you could put something like '50 shot' or 'turbo 5 PSI'. I think N/A mods could easily be broken down into either N/A or Stock. Perhaps you could also list 'street tires', 'DR' or 'slicks' but then the subject line starts to get long. The trim could probably be dropped since it only makes a difference for the 3d gens, there are not any 3rd gens on the front page now.

I think the same thing should be done in the dyno slips forum for the same reason.
