Hey guys,

Here in San Diego we have an event called Race Legal on certain Friday nights at Qualcomm Stadium. It's basically a 1/8 mile drag strip, but it's alot of fun.

This was my best time - it just happened to be against another 350Z coupe - with mods (Injen Exhaust, Plenum, Pop Charger and Cold Air Intake). My car is a stock 2004 ZR Touring with the Autostick Transmission.



You can look at their website www.racelegal.com and see both of our cars in the 6/1/07 gallery. His was the only 350Z coupe there that night - and mine was the only roadster!

Painfully slow times, your at elevation?

BTW-I know its hard to miss a complete forum for DRAG RACING so here ya go---> https://my350z.com/forum/drag-306/

 

Makes me feel a lot better about my roadster "stock" times.

 

I know I'm slow relatively speaking - it was my first time trying though.

I guess I need to get my 60ft. times down quite a bit and it looks like my reaction times could be better as well.

Thanks for the feedback.

You won by 39/100 seconds. Congratulations.

 

Well, you won!

Now, it seems that the reaction times are really slow. The other guy picked up speed significantly quicker but seems to have lost his start quite badly.

Keep runnning and it will get better... that's what they say.

My parents have a house in Oceanside, I should come down sometime and meet you guys at Qualcomm Stadium... I would luv to try out my Roadster..

Do they require you to wear a helmet?

 

Usually you're required to wear a helmet if you run lower than 14s. If you can get the roadster into the 13s, stock, you're one bad **** driver. Although I can't believe they let the OP drag with the top down (As far as I know, most tracks won't let you drag with the top down, unless you have a roll cage). That's probably why he had to wear a helmet.

 

Give the dude a break....he's out having fun....but sounds as though some are tryin' to diss him for posting to a place he wants to talk about the Z.

 

That'd be a blast dude - you have an awesome Z! To answer your question, you are required to wear a helmet - it has to be DOT and Snell certified. I rented mine from there for $20 - but it looked like a 1980's go-kart special. lol!

Oh, and they let me race with the top down due to the fact the Z has rollbars. Good enough I guess because the track limit for the 1/8 mile is 6 sec at 115mph - only a Hayabusa managed that on Friday!

Helmet is required with drop tops regardless of ET.

 

Hey man It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile....racing is racing!

Take you and your roof back over to FI

 

the 1/8 track at the Q is a very slow track. They need some updated machines.

 

I believe it was 'winning is winning!' but lmfo! haha
