1/4 Mile Leaderboard.

[Nick Mann]

There are a couple of interesting claims on the 1/4 mile leaderboard. The best is raymat who claims a 13.06 in a turbo'd 4.2 land cruiser. The only 4.2 turbo'd landcruiser I have heard of is a diesel unit that takes 11 seconds to get to 60.

I am 11th on the leaderboard, but only four people in front of me have posted a timeslip. (Even though they don't work at the moment!)

What are peoples thoughts about making the timeslip a requirement? Or having a second category of 'unsubstantiated' times? I realise that many of those times without proof are from honest people telling the truth, but I am finding myself scratching my chin whilst reading others!!

Sorry if I sound a bit negative, I am just trying to find a way of ensuring reliable information.

[Legnum Breaking]

Mine is reliable!

I am with Nick......official times only please!

Oh and you haven't seen my best effort yet

| agree with Dave and Nick.

And what's the best effort then Dave?

Maybe one day I'll take my gloves off and give Ariadne a r.. Maybe - just maybe

[Wodjno]

I agree .. Even though my best is 14.5 or summat like that.. I had the 3rd best time in the chart for ages, due to there was only 2 substantiated times above me

I am now 20th ! But should be by virtue of a time that have a slip for ! Be 8th

Its as easy as changing the time, currently I have it set that you have to provide timeslip, if below 13.000.... raise the bar?

Yep I agree....timeslip should be provided as evidence

[valmes]

While I agree that 1/4 mile times should be proven by a time slip, what do you want me to do, drive to the nearest dragstrip? Where would you prefer me to go? Tokio or London? We simply don't have anything like Santa Pod in Siberia!

Most of the Drag Racing events held in Russia right now are using their own custom made electronic measurement devices, which in most cases are quite accurate... to the 0,001 sec and give out reaction time, elapsed time and speed, but they don't print it out on a timeslip...

Although I won't regret if you remove my 13,5~ from the list... that's way outdated and nothing to be proud of...

PS: ... and of course I understand I am a minority here... so nevermind...
BTW there is a picture of Notebook screen showing actual ETs, Speed and Reaction time for the right and left lane... will such photo, maybe along with photo of my car at the finish line be sufficient prove in place of regular time slip? If so I can probably do that next time...

Not that my V6 time is now relevent or indeed jaw dropping, but it used to have the timeslip there. Now when you click on the info just my avatar comes up. Don't think I have the slip anymore.

And why not may i ask

[Kieran]

Valmes makes a good point. How's about this:

Fill in all the fields (unless you have no way of doing so), and perhaps link to a piccy if you can?

And whilst we're on the subject. We have cars in the table that are nothing to do with the club, or indeed with Mitsubishi - such as Raymat's Toyota Land Cruiser and Sulli's Leo Cupid-R.... Should they be allowed to stay?

[bradc]

I'm sure we'd be able to accept that valmes. Looks like you've got a Clevo D400 series laptop there - we used to sell those

[Nick Mann]

I would personally vote for the limit to be raised to around 15.000s. I could probably be persuaded to vote for a higher limit than that if non-VR4 owners wanted it.

I would suggest that a photo of the run with a photo of the time is at least as good as a timeslip.

I would argue that members with non-mitsubishi cars are allowed to be a part of the leaderboard simply because they are members.

But there are some interesting points made above! I never thought that there would be this many replies this quickly!!

[valmes]

Great! Than I will have my camera ready, since I am picking up my car today and if nothing awful happens to it and I can get all my "little" mods done, going to the local(200kms) "wanna be real dragstrip" thingy on Sep. 2 to get at least some times... I am not in for the record, just want to know where I stand at the moment, so I can make some adjustments to my tune.

. Will get back to you... hopefully with the good news and not with usual "I did it again... it was smashed by a Kamaz truck"

Some of the excuses up front for ya:

My LC-1s sensor was destroyed by friends who thought warming up Lambda with tig-welder would somehow be good for it ... ... and Dataloger is waiting for an update, which won't be happening until VR-4 ECU comes into US (for Chris).

All in all, I am glad to be back on the road with my VR-4. Hopefully... I am a little ahead of it already. Waiting sucks!

PS: Sorry to Hijack the thread, I will do my best to provide photo of my ET or at least a link to official site that lists the times for every participant of the event. So no cheating from my side!

I think the 15 sec limit should be enforced, as well as limiting published times to 6a13 (or maybe 6a12 too) engined cars only.

One thing you can add to it is listing other times under the same nick. So that you wouldn't have to take your time out if you ran better. In details you can see all the times with dates and on "Top" page - just your best time. Outside temp. and elevation of the track are also things to consider... or there is "notes" section?

Also why not have separate "Top Dyno Queens/Monsters" section under Showplace? Same idea with ranking as in "1/4 times", but on the basis of HP and you would have to put up your dyno scan?

[caishanvr4]

Im Happy with my 1/4mile time as my car was completely standard. I have proof as 7 other members witnessed my record breaking run
It will be broken, mark my words............















When ive sorted my fcking air leak

[Kieran]

Good luck today Val!

I like the idea of a BHP shootout too....That would be interesting!

[EdmundVR4]

How about you let "Registered Users" submit their 1/4 mile data ???
8G VR4 - 13.938 @ 99.12 1.974 60' 6A13TT
7G VR4 - 13.826 @ NA 1.873 60' 6A12TT
7G VR4 - 12.339 @ 107.30 NA 60' 6G72TT

If this 1/4 mile database is for members only, you are fooling yourselves.
There is always a faster VR4 out there & I'm not talking about me !

That would be me then

[Davezj]

will a picture of a g-tech do or are they that unreliable. I am not saying i will get anywhere near you guys on time but lots of people seem to have these and it would be nice to pertisipate

cheers
