The original Quarter Mile List can be found HERE. Since Soulcrusher stopped updating the list, I decided to take it over. I'll update this list periodically, as time permits.
I want this new list to be as legitimate as possible. So the rules for submitting an entry are a little more strict than before. Please read and follow the rules below.
*************** THE RULES ***************
1) You must offer proof of your claim. A copy of the timeslip, or a photo/video of the run (with your car and the display board clearly visible), are both acceptable forms of proof. But "so-and-so saw it and can vouch for it" or "I raced a 12-second Mustang and kept up with him" is not.
2) Post your submission in this thread. I don't want my email inbox or PM inbox to get filled with submissions. Plus, the proof of your claim needs to be clearly visible to the rest of the Fiero community.
3) Please provide some info regarding your car. You don't need to go into great detail unless you want, but you should at least provide the engine and transmission type (for example: 3800SC / 4T65E-HD). It would also be nice if you could tell us the body style of your Fiero (for example: '85 GT, '88 Formula, etc).
****************************************
The original list has a lot of missing info. I would like to correct that problem. You'll notice there are a lot of question marks. These are places where people didn't specify important data, like their transmission type or trap speed. If you have that data, please provide it so I can get rid of the question marks.
NOTE: Some unverified entries have been carried over from the old list. They are written in regular (light gray) text. The verified entries are written in green text. If your entry is unverified, and you have proof of your run, please post it so I can update your entry.
Since I added myself to the list, here's a scan of my timeslip.
Blake, post your timeslip and you'll be added. I know you posted it in another thread, but I'm too tired/lazy to look it up. Also, what transmission do you have? And is your 3800 a series 2 or 3?

Fieromadman, you've been updated. Congrats on joining the 13-second club.
Dizmon_85GT, thanks for the info. However, instead of using the fastback/notchback format, I'd rather use the year/model format (for example: '84 SE, '86 GT, Finale kit, etc)
AkursedX and Matt Hawkins: I don't see any timeslips or videos.
Also, I must re-iterate something...
PLEASE DO NOT SEND SUBMISSIONS TO MY EMAIL OR PM BOX. POST THEM IN THIS THREAD.

First of all, you must offer proof of your claim. A copy of the timeslip, or a photo/video of the run (with your car and the display board clearly visible), are both acceptable forms of proof. But "so-and-so saw it and can vouch for it" or "I raced a 12-second Mustang on the street and kept up with him" is not.
If he still has his timeslip, scan it and I'll add him to the list.
Sorry, but the rule still stands. If he still has his timeslip, scan it and I'll add him to the list.
If that is the rule them you need to go thru the old 1/4 mile Thread and see who on the list posted there time slip. If it is not posted then they need to be removed from the list until a slip is posted.
I will hook up my scanner later if I get around to it and scan my last slip from my 12.0 @111 MPH.

I went through the old 1/4 mile thread and here's a list (a rather small list) of all of the timeslips or videos I was able to find on the thread or by clicking on some links in sigs or posts:
Lfiero67-11.962@113.84 Banditbalz-14.79@91.4 Troy Ritchie-11.52@120.96 Darth Fiero-12.262@113.05 1FST2M6-14.18@94.95 Her86GT-12.51@107.87 FieroGTguy-13.158@102.24 lowfierogt-12.93@104.5 Darth Fiero-14.16@97.7 3.4DOHC The Adjuster-14.56@92.3 x-thumpr-x-14.38@91.1 lildevil-11.74@115 Don Kraus-11.323@116.40 scrabblegod-13.89@98.6 Orief-12.34@111.69 Matt Hawkins-12.07@116.86 DrCPU-13.81@103.96 Jncomutt-13.21@109 xxsportscar-15.76@84.76 dizmon_85GT-13.039@100.25 blkcofy-12.961@105.53 fieromadman-13.684@102.45
I'm assuming Soulcrusher probably got PM's and e-mails of timeslips for the other times? I don't know.
I was actually thinking of weeding out all the entries without proof. But like you mentioned, Soulcrusher may have received PM's or emails with that proof. This is why I ask everyone to post your proof in this thread. So if someone else ends up taking over the list, there will be no guesswork.
I guess we're just going to have to "grandfather in" the existing entries. I'm not too thrilled about doing that. But trying to get validation on each one would be a HUGE task. The only other workable alternative would be to start a new list from scratch. I have no problem with that. After all, the old list isn't going anywhere. Any thoughts or opinions?

How about assigning colors to verified and unverified times? Or making two seperate lists of verified and unverified times with a clause that you are not accepting anymore unverified times?
Hmmm... nobody has voiced a complaint about the color coding system yet. I'll wait till tomorrow, and if there are no dissenting votes, I'll get to work on the color coding.
In the meantime, Jncomutt and Arns85GT have been updated.

Color coding is a good idea. I will scan my slip tomorrow so I can be added. Hopefully next time back to the track I can get into the 11 group but will see.
Below is my time slip for my 12.961 time earlier this month. My car is #311 and I raced a late model modded Thunderbird. I plan on taking it back this Friday to better the time, now that Ryan has fixed my launch issues.
Hey DH, I couldn't find the username "Justin Bartholomew" (or any Justin from MI, for that matter) in the PFF member list. Can you double-check that for me?
BTW, the list has been updated to show verified entries. The verified entries are green. If I missed anyone, let me know.

Took the car to the track today, here are the results (right lane all day):
First Run:
Second Run (fastest):
Third Run:
Video with all three:
Obviously I'm pretty happy with the results. There is still room for improvement in my launches, but doing better overall. Got kicked out in the first round of the bracket racing. Car was exactly the same setup as before except 50/50 premium and race gas (I really just love the smell of race gas, no other reason).

He isnt a forum member per say.... just add him in the "non forum members" list.
