Ok so over the past few months we have been talking more and more about the B6/7 S4 and its 1/4mile times. The data we look at comes from several different sources. We have drag times. Nice but not accurate some times. There is doc mike who has a great set up but many don't know where or how to access it. So my thought is This I will make this the 1/4mile thread.
We can request that there is a sticky for this and we can update the times for everyone to see.
After some recent events. I think there should be some ground rules that we follow for this. This will keep it honest and make it so all the times on the list are genuine.
1. All people requesting to be on the 1/4mile list need to produce 2 time slips. Not this ONE random time slip thing. Requiring 2 time slips makes this a LITTLE more fraud proof. This way people can't claim the time in the other lane was them. Also this will show how consistent the time is. If one person has consistent 13.6 times and just one 13.2 then it would be fair to say there car/driver is not very consistent. This will weed out the glory pass that is not a true representation. Thus helping others draw there own conclusions. How ever the fastest time will make it on the list. if the board feels there is a large Disparity between the times and this is a issue the Time will have a ** next to it to represent GLORY pass. NHRA Rules state you must be able to have 2 passes with in .2tenths of each other for some of there events to accept the pass as genuine. Im not saying that we need to adhere to this but if something gets out of hand we can use this rule.
There is no reason why you can't produce 2 time slips if you were at the track.
2. The time slips must be from the same day and must be a full pic of the time slip. FULL PIC with the track info Date car # etc. Not some pic with some blurry A$$ #'s on it and just the times.
3. Post the time slips in the thread or E mail them to me and I can update the time on the list. This way everyone has a part.
4. This is NOT for any other cars other then the B6/7 S4 & RS4 all others need not apply
5 As the mod lists grow I will make a legend for the mods as to not have a page long mod list
6 Corrected Times and calculated adjusted times are not proper representation of what your car did. Feel free to post the Altitude and temps for that day for a gauge and reference for others. But please leave corrected times out of your post. It detracts from the actual FACTUAL data we are gathering. Please let the temps and posted altitudes help others draw conclusions off the factual data and the corresponding times
When posting time you will need 2 TIME slips. Please post the TEMPS if you wish your MODS and WEIGHT REDUCTION IS A MOD.
None of this just listing weight reduction and thinking that is good enough. Any thing other than removing the spare and the spare tire and tools constitutes as a weight reduction. If you have the spare tire in please let us know so it can be added back in
Now there are some current standing times that have just 1 slip. I will be taking them from doc mikes list. He has required the slip info and there are not too many on the list. I am on the list but I will not be putting my time. I will post my last track times with 2 time slips and video.
For the 12 sec club or any record breaking event. Out of respect for the other people that had the last record. It is needed for video proof and time slips. This is only out of respect to the other participants on the list. They worked hard to get there and its only fair that we don't leave any speculation on the table. Too many good events get derailed by speculation and possible hear say and lack of proof.
Not only does this keep the system full proof it really helps bring the community into the experience with you.
If the situation presents it self for a feet of this nature. Video and times would be nice. The more proof the better. If you find your self not able to get video might I suggest getting pic's of you and your car at the track with the #'s on the time slip matching the #'s on your car.
I really don't like the fact that the honor system is not able to stay on the table for us. I really didn't think there was going to be a need for all this. Till this.....People completely just making things up
The back story on this is SOME guy claims to have gone 13.4 @ 113 with a 2.2 60 foot No time slip as "HE HAD TO LOOK FOR IT. This guy went on forever about this he even said that he granny shifted. The best part was the more he posted the more mods his car got 4 posts down from the post HE made his car all of a sudden has more mods then he listed Stasis center diff and LSD.

My issue with this is there are People out there that get great results and everyone starts questioning the results.
After this bogus post and other misleading and non factual posts people were having a discussion over why this happened and better yet how this happened. This has been going on for too long we discuss things trying to make since of them. In the end there is more argument then advancement. With the facts on the table we should all be able to make since of what works and what doesn't.
With the Rules set to what they are. This should be easy for all to do and in then end we have a little more of a fact based platform to work from. Better to just take all the guess work out of the equations
