Apology to Stiddy who ran 13.7 in an au

**Stav** · 31-05-2012, 09:22 PM

Some years ago Stiddy a user here and a friend of mine had modified his au at wsid and ran it. At the time he did run a 13.7 and I in my suspiciousness of his run believed at the time that he did not run the time as a photograph was not taken of his car as was of all other cars. I have since discovered by other people who were there on the night that this is true and correct. I have discovered this recently and so Its my responsibility at it was my **** up at the time which resulted in Stiddy being banned and rubbished. I publicly apologise to Stiddy and I am sorry for the misunderstanding .I have since chatted and apologised to stiddy himself and now I am man enough to post the truth up which was not apparent at the time
I apologise to the au community the moderators and whoever this caused trouble for.

Quite a muck up by the sounds of it. Good on you for trying to put it right.

Important question. Has Stiddy accepted your apology?

He is working on a 500 rwkw skyline.

In the near future another au six will be done and I will be helping him do it as well where possible

**Mechan1k** · 31-05-2012, 09:54 PM

Would be good to catch up with him again ... looking forward to the future AU project.

13.7 is fairly well moving for 1500-1600kg a n/a 6.. rip his motor out and dump it in a corty or escort or something. mph suggests faster.
What tyres and 60ft time?
Impressive. This bloke still have the car?
AND.. 500rwkw skyline? would love some info on this.

but at least you were a man about it all now, kudos stav

Sox · 02-06-2012, 07:53 AM

Ya know what Stav old mate, I reckon you owe all of us AU-vians a big apology...

For selling your AU, and having dared come back here with that blow dried orange Camry thingo you now drive.

Sheer blasphemy I say.

blueoval · 02-06-2012, 08:51 AM

Your a good bloke stav. some people wouldn't have the guts to man up.

Lots of respect to ya fella. good to see stiddy has accepted apology and moved on.

Impressive au by the sounds of it too.

**Stav** · 02-06-2012, 08:55 AM

Sox I know mate..pure blasphemy

Matt and me are ok over it and its water under the bridge but when he gets the next au we will go back with video if i can help it to do it again..see how it goes.

Day-mow · 02-06-2012, 03:04 PM

Wow Stav that was a few years back. And for you to apologise now just shows the kinda person you are, and have always been. Good to hear Matt accepted your apology

Ohhh the memories of the old days lol.

Krissy.

FS5 · 04-06-2012, 06:28 PM

hey stav ,is there still a pic of of his slip floating around somewhere?i'd like to compare it with my old chestnuts...
good on you mate for posting this!
i would have thought there would have been a few more 13 sec au's out there by now ,with the info thats been posted on here over the years.

**Stav** · 07-06-2012, 08:43 PM

timeslips of the runs

The 2 runs by Stiddy show identical mph at 660' and ET at 1000'.
Coincidence?

The 13.7 slip has 104mph and 165.2kph.
The 13.8 slip has 102mph and 165.6kph.
Strange indeed, considering 104mph is approx 167kph.

If we look at the opponent car, quite different times (as you'd expect), except for the 660' time being identical.
Coincidence again?

Those slips appear to be photo shopped, IMO.

ronwest · 07-06-2012, 10:17 PM

I'm not buying into it (and I don't care either way) but the 104.65mph conversion is definitely wrong.

Should be 168.28kph.

The other mph -> kph conversions are correct.

**Whoosha** · 07-06-2012, 11:54 PM

Well before this starts up again let me say as I was not around as a mod at the orginal time when all the feathers got ruffled , I belive 4 years on it time to let it go Stav has made his peace with Matt which is good for them both, as for the times and slips we are not going down this road again, so I am closing this thread now , but wont delete it as such yet ..Personally one would have expected more 13 sec time slips by now .
