Naw, you got it all wrongways. I decided not to race. Too risky. The time wasn't right. The sun was in my eyes. Besides, I'm deaf in one ear and I didn't hear you toot the horn. 2 cars! If that was two cars they were Smart cars. Only two Smarts and I wasn't giving it more than 1/2 throttle. I refuse to race through Mr. Roberts neighborhood. Dang, I knew I shoulda raced ya full anyway. Now you may call me MRLooserman.

I'll race you again while your changing your wheels!

heck dawg if you wuz racin wif da sun in yo eyz an deaf in one ear then that gives you a 2 car advantage makin dat race a tie!

 

I will say this was an VERY entertaining thread... Go MrPhotoman!

Opinion #1. The Caliber SRT4 stock vs. a Crossfire SRT6 stock in a ¼ mile race = SRT6 win if both drivers are equal an reaction times are nearly the same.
Opinion #2. The Caliber SRT4 with a NOS shot (regardless of size) vs. a Crossfire SRT6 with a proportional NOS shot in a ¼ mile race = SRT6 win if both drivers are equal an reaction times are nearly the same.

FACT #1. In EVERY official race on the planet, when the first racer (in/on vehicle or on foot) crosses that finish line, they have made the fastest run of that race over whatever distance is specified. PERIOD

This does not mean they were the fastest or had the fastest vehicle. It DOES prove that they, for that particular race were the fastest competitor over the distance specified. PERIOD

The example with the bicycle and the Corvette still sticks in my mind...
Yes, in this race the bicycle WAS faster at completing the ¼ mile. The 'Vett' simply has the potential to be faster. But, because he stalled, he was NOT faster for that particular ¼ mile run.

All vehicles that run races have 'potential', however, only the actual performance for that particular race will show a winner or loser. If one competitor feels that something went wrong, then both should get back in the gates and do it again without changing anything else. That way, if the 'Vette' stalled, then he has the chance to run the race again and PROVE he's faster by completing the ¼ mile in less time than the bicycle.

Keep up the good work MrPhotoman... maybe someday people will learn...

 

Freak'n FUNNY THREAD!!!

You guys are kill'n me!

I ran accross this yesterday when checking out psupereti's video.

Seemed to fit this thread (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCte8ePw9Us).

Thanks for the laughs!!!

Now if thats not fair I don't know what is. But if you give me 2 Calibers then I win because you won by 2 Smarts! I don't want to start something here but now I think I should be the winner (I wasn't really racing) Not to mention that my caffeine level was low!

That video made my day... lol

 

Lol this thread was all in fun, hopefully everyone knows that. Debating about cars, racing and mods is what it is all about, even when it is a silly thread like this lol.

Seriously though, if you go to the track and try to argue the proof that is on the timeslip and say that you won when you really lost you are going to get laughed off the track. Even if your vtak didn't kick in, the timeslip is final say in who won the race and who had the faster car.

 

lmao that video was great!

 

You talkin to me! You talkin to ME! All I got to say is if you had my Smarts you would've won easily but unfortunately for you I had the Smarts. And my Smarts are high Caliber too!

Of course its all in fun. Why would anyone think otherwise?

I'm so lost...everybody is talking about the same damn thing, but spinning it a different way (I guess to be funny...?). This must just be how "older gentlemen" have fun (with each other)....

I apparently need to learn something, I'm a ricer, and I make excuses for my car? Look...now I'm all butt-hurt.... . Jerks...

 

I really have yet to meet anyone like that (I've only read about them - )...you actually have?

 

How dare you! What lack of manners. I have no idea of your age but get something straight. Were not gentlemen. Were mind racers! (or pot heads) Or what was that round thing what's her name gave me trying to get in my pants in 197 .... can't remember the year or what's her name. Or those military experiments. Yea, peppermint thingies. Yum. What was Art Linkletters sponser ... Geritol? Yeah, OD'ed on Geritol. See you at the races. hic

The last time I was at Pittsburgh Raceway Park there was this redneck with an old beat up truck that was walking around with his group of rednecks trash talking everyone elses cars that were racing and then he proceeded to run a 18+ second 1/4 mile. I have a photo of his truck somewhere, he had it painted all different colors and it smoked really bad lol.

 

Wow...awesomely epic FAIL...well...carry on then. LOL. BTW...I still hope you realize I'm not directly pointing a finger at you...because frankly...I don't understand where you are even coming from on your posts and apparently I took offense. It sure seemed like you were making fun of Illegal Machine and I...and young people get all defensive and such...lol...

 

lol.

here is that post and it was 20 second 1/4 mile times. i have a guy looking for the photo of the truck for me.

i am in my 30's so i am not too awfully old lol.

 

I wasn't saying this...just a different way...the WHOLE time?

 

Oh man. Now I have to ignore you. 30's. Pfffffftt.

I don't drink and post so good night everyone.

Nobody even remotely said otherwise.


Agree. Nobody ever said other wise.

Correct. He won the race and has a time slip to prove that he beat a Turbo Vette. According to to Mrphotoman he didn't only win the race, but his bike, is in fact, faster than a Turbo Vette.

Anyone who actually looked at the slip burst into laughter as the bike rider said, "I'm mrphotoman, and my bike is faster than a turbo vette that traps 140+mph....b....because this slip says so!"

Let me say it again: Mrphotoman isn't saying that the bike won the race. He's saying that the bike is, in fact, a faster vehicle by only focusing on the 1/4 mile time, which is completely insane and hilarious.

If the turbo vette wanted a rematch, mrphotoman would tell him that he's a RICER and that he has a slower car. Therefore, he should stop making excuses.

You see, there are no variables in Mrphotoman's world.

If your car runs a 12.5, then follows it up with a 14.0 and a 2.7 60 ft, it's not that you botched the launch. Magical gnomes actually went into engine bay and stole HP from the motor.

Because to botch a launch, and make a human mistake, is meerly a ricer excuse. Even when it is plainly evident on the time slip (though mrphotoman would lead you to believe there are only 1/4 mile times listed, there is actually more information).

I really don't think you read his posts.


It's funny, I can actually picture mrphotoman at the track running his best pass, the COMPLETELY giving up racing for fear that his car may "become slower" on the next pass.

SO then he just stands at the end of the track with his slip and yells "I BEAT YOU!" if he sees a car run slower.
