    So I checked out the Timeslip Database, and noticed the first person has apparently a fake entry...I went to view "Details" and received this error.

    I get the same error on every "Detail" I click on

    I sent the user (who is active and relatively new to the forum) a message to either remove it or put in new numbers but never heard back from him. It wasn't a PM, but just a response to one of his threads.

    He was just trying to joke around, and even stated so, sorta, by putting the name of the drag strip as

    The database is broken, a replacement will be installed by the end of December.

    Will the old numbers be transferred to the new database, or will we have to start from scratch?

    In my opinion it shouldnt be in the database if the engine block, trans, or rearend isnt a Ford product(excluding aftermarket products), but thats just me:huh:

    my opnion is...if it didn't come in a maverick/comet...it shouldn't be in the database...:tiphat:...(engines, trans, and rearends.) examples...302...C4...8" (stock size gears)...and car can't be lighter than shipped weight...


    any others should be in a...modified class... and anything goes...

    ...:Handshake...

    Thats an even better idea! But can the database be separated into classes like that? :huh:

    I agree that we should have a stock class/modified/prostreet/etc... class, but itd probably end up relying on the work of the owner

    That was my original plan, but would have to write a converter for it. Since most of the entries are really old, im going to scrap it and start fresh.
