[QUOTE="SergntMac, post: 2872668, member: 36158"] Good Lord...Get off the cross, Daryl, I need the wood. Suspension is what follows when folks act up, and both of us acted up. I got 3 days too, and it's fair. When one disturbs Logan's house, you pay for it, and we both know that. I would like to apologize to Greg-MarauderinKC for disturbing his forum. I'm not excusing myself, but honestly, it was somewhat of a loaded question to begin with. I don't agree, fully agree anyway. The text was deleted and the thread cleaned up, but I directed no insults towards anyone in particular. I asked a few questions of my own, and came to feel that Daryl was needling me over nonsense. The answer Daryl begs to read, has been posted many times at the MM.Net. Why he needs this answer posted again is lost on me, but the information is there and can be researched. Briefly, I ran an 11.682 several weeks ago, but at a track that is known to be, ummm...Tired? Poorly maintained, old equipment and so on. There were problems with the time slip, the printer was to blame according to track officials. Once I posted the slip, the top 10 got shuffled around, and the slip was examined. A question was presented privately by a Moderator, and I put his question out to the MM.Net community with a poll asking what the community felt I should do. The response was just shy of something like 26 keep it, 22 to pull it. Overall, it was a good thread, lots of decent advice from good natured folks, but in the end, I decided to pull the slip. It just wasn't a clean run at things, and I didn't want continued Q&A to disrupt the decorum. It's a closed matter for me, and no big deal. I'll be back with a bettter slip that passes everyone's inspection. For me, it is my personal best and I'm not throwing it away. But, it raised a debate at the MM.Net, and I won't mention it again. A time slip is not an ego thing for me, I don't need to have one of the top 10 MMs on record. BTW, Top Fuel driver Brendan Bernstein drove 11.86 and 11.78 back in 2002, but I don't have that slip, only a picture of it, so, I rarely mentioned that at all. Meanwhile, I went to another track in full street trim. Street tires, street gas, street tune and all my junk in the trunk. Best time ever [U]in this trim[/U], 12.21/113.08 MPH, and that's .2 quicker than the last time I did the "street" thing back in April. At the MM/Net, you may consider this my best time, and it's a good time slip too. I'm not going to bother posting it anywhere, because some folks admire individual accomplishment, others pick at it. To each his own. I'm content that I earned my suspension, no beef from me, or with the MM.Net. I don't wish to continue the time slip discussion here at SVT, it's a closed book.
