Key word is "official", sorry I can't make everyone happy with this one. SGOS252382, if you want to make a thread with the unofficial fastest times I will sticky it. We do respect all fast times, but for the run to be on the official list it has to be a good run from start to finish. As for the date thing I understand that others may have seen the run etc. but to allow that wouldnt be fair to others who have tried to submit theirs and had something out of order on their time slip.
Thanks for you alls understanding,

Well, it is certainly your choice, but nobody on the "official" list is racing anybody, these times are for comparison purposes. Some run in better conditions than others, but that doesn't change the fact that they get to be higher on the list. It is an incomplete list if you take off those times that are redlights, or the date is not set correctly at the track. The fact is that NONE of the times on the list are official in any way, you are ALWAYS taking the posters word that he ran those times. People can tell you whatever slip belongs to whatever car and you would never know. If you believe someone that a given slip belongs to a given driver, why not believe someone with a verified story about an incorrect date at the track?
Trying to police the list with such scrutiny when you can't actually verify any of the data is sort of pointless.
As for the redlights, some people go to the track just to see how fast they can get their car to go, and don't have any interest in r/t, bracket racing, etc. I understand this is not the way drag races are won, but if we are trying to compare the cars, I don't think it is fair to exclude redlighted runs as it does not affect the ET, as we all know. Just my $0.02.
