Competition forum?

We (DTR) are discussing the addition of a competition forum. It would likely have some special posting rules and be moderated more than the other forums. At this time the DTR would like to know how many members would be interested in such a forum.<br><br>

Re:Competition forum?

We know how competive people can be. We would want to keep name calling, bashing out of it.

Re:Competition forum?

A place to......discuss :<br><br>Drag Racing, Sled Pulling, Dynoing, Ficticous tales of street racing............ and anything else we can think of to do with our trucks. Specifics and general stuff, launches, techniques etc.<br><br>By providing a forum of its own, only the people interested in it have to read it. Just like the &quot;Towing&quot; forum......lets people talk about towing specifics without interupting those of us that don't care to read it.

Sounds kind of like the old &quot;War Room&quot; that we used to have around here. Personally...since most everyone here drives a Dodge, I don't think it would see much traffic.

Re:Competition forum?

Hey Hoss but you drove a Ford and found this place. Even tho this place has all dodge forums it is still called DIESEL TRUCK resource. I wander if Some Ford owners will come here wanting their own forum. Most likely not but you never know what will happen in a year or so. Theres a theory for you to think about :<br>DM01

Re:Competition forum?

I have voted for it. Although I will never enter any competitions, I WILL read a competition forum to learn about what mods work for which things, and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from those who experiment with their trucks to be competitive. I personally believe a separate forum for it would be beneficial, as it would provide an isolated place to search for specific information about performance gains and problems encountered with specific BOMB components made for competitions. Nice suggestion for whoever came up with it.

Re:Competition forum?

I want to change my vote. I voted for it and I want to change do to some Info that was comfirmed. I like this site and find that I have a hard time keeping my fingers shut when on Ford and CHEVY sites :. I figure with this new forum I will be kicked out soon. If the site was going to be like the way it is now forever then yes it would be fun to argue ofer turbos and oils and god for bit Auto Trannys Sorry Stake had to throw that is there [undecided]

Re:Competition forum?

This wouldn't be a &quot;War room&quot; forum. Its a place to discuss the specific events listed above. Its just a pain to have to read all the forums in order to find all the &quot;competition stuff&quot;.

I mean the towing guys don't have to read all the forums to find towing solutions. Why should the competition guys have to?
