yea i might be able to go to the track the 8th or the 15th of july, if so ill be sure to bring my own camera and someone to tape it.

 

that was my point. Every track is different and unless you can have him reproduce the same times on other tracks I am not assuming that he's the god of Z's
Only issue is that his times are almost a second better than quite a few people on this board and others with the same or better mods and more driving experience (based on his statement). That's what leads me to assume that his track is not NHRA certified or at least has the sensors set up wrong.
But no matter what they are still good runs

 

also Cecil is a little too far away from my house i dont wanna drive for an hour on slicks on the highway, and MIR is the same its an hour away and i personally dont like racing there because i never get any cool down time in between my runs, and i end up overheating and running really sloppy. Capitol is NHRA certified, they are listed on the NHRA website, its the first one under Maryland. NHRA Mid-Atlantic Race Tracks

 

Once I figured it out, I actually launched better with my JWT Clutch/Flywheel combo. Not saying that all will, but I did!

 

wanna talk about sensors i went to gainesville on a saturday morning turned out to be super gas day and there were alot of 7 second cars there...anyway went 8.5 at 81.5 to a 13.30 at 105.83...next week or two later went to a different track in even colder weather went 8.9 at 83.93 to a 13.6 at 101...i asked the both guy whats up...he said they had been underwater the week previos and probably the sensors were fogged...somethin'

 

good run, you got PM

 

you know teh rules.. you have to be back up a run within 10 percent?

that 60 is pretty rediculous. hell, i have gone went 12.7 at 107 on a 2.0-1 when my tires were gone and traction was nonexistant.

with a 1.5 the car should have been 12.4-12.5 with good driving,

i still say get some gears so you can cut those 60s over and over if your track preps that well.

 

I think you were with us the other day when my buddy garrets G35 just died on Richie i was driving the z with the carbon hood anyways u should come out more often always nice to see other Z's.

 

yea that was me, i was tryin to get a race in b4 the rain started but it didnt work out that well and i got distracted by that integra and VW that were riding my *** so i had to give to them what was coming.

 

did you have the regular AAM ecu flash or did you do custom programming?

 

i have a regular flash, i was one of the first to get the flash done at altered, i went the first day it was offered for the 04 ECU.

 

well nice times man hopefully ill see u out next weekend ill be with my crew again elusive.

 

I ran 1X at Cecil the day he hit 12's, and it didnt seem any faster. We both trapped 105 and change that day, same day different tracks, even though Cecil is usually a little faster. Bobby, did you ever pull a 1.9 60ft at Capitol on the slicks? I know its not fair to compare the times I pulled with a 1.9 60ft to yours, because we ran at different tracks but I just want to get an idea of what you would run with a 1.9 60ft. My B-day is this Friday, if I dont go out drinking with friends, Ill head up to Capitol, and see if I can give myself a 12 sec pass as a present to myself After 4 launches on slicks (I know not that much) I am pretty confident that my negative 2.2 degrees rear camber and stiff as $hit JIC coilovers are keeping me from 1.7 60 ft's which is what I need for 12's. My 1 launch recently at Cecil I launched hard as hell, and I only went a 1.86 60ft I have no weight transfer whatsoever....

 

You know, after reading about that M3, I'm thinking we should all plan a trip to Etown to see what kind of 60' we can cut there.

 

I dont think I would want to risk breaking an axle up there and having to tow it all the way back A 1.7 60ft will get me all I want-which is a 12 sec pass n/a. Chalres Im looking into a new suspenion set-up to replace the JIC's Ill let you know what parts I need when I figure out what Im going with.

 

I think a 1.57 60' is believable, extremely rare, but believable. There are 95-99 Maximas with VQ35 swaps pulling low 1.7 60 foots on 26" slicks with 220whp. If a FWD car with an open diff can pull lower 1.7 60 foots in slicks, I think it's possible a RWD car with a slightly better power to weight ratio could plant a slightly better 60 foot. Could the run be duplicated? Doubtful, but he has the slip and multiple runs showing decent consistentcy. Like someone mentioned before, sometimes a miracle run just happens. The car hooks perfect and the run is perfect. Capital is a decently quick track too.

 

I agree but the difference between a 1.5 and 1.7 60ft is HUGE! Not to take anything away from Bobby, he is a nice guy, and a good driver, but I have to agree that the 1.5 60ft and that 12.7 pass was just a freakishly good launch. His other 12 sec passes are exactly what I expected him to run with those 60ft's. I dont think a 1.5 60ft could be done again by him, Id be VERY VERY impressed if he could. But hey who cares, he ran 12.7, and nobody can take that way from him

 

i have to agree with you bert, the 1.5 60 foot run WAS freakishly good and when i repeated what i did the next two runs i ran two 12.9's. Im gonna go back later in the year and try again and hope to head there earlier in the day so i can get more runs. The only thing is i cant get out of work early on fridays so ill se what i can do. And further i have to agree it was all in the launch on that 12.7 run, it never bogged down like the other 12.9 runs, i think as long as i dont get the slicks too sticky like they were the later runs ill be able to launch without bogging towards the end of 1st gear when i gain traction.

 

Don't know about Cali, but like the other ppl said capitol is not the best track around here by far. It's not the worst, but definitely not a 'fast' track. In general people tend to run very average times at capitol.

 

+1 - I went 13.77 @ 101 stock at Crapitol. On a good day at Cecil that would have easily been the stock record-easy .2 faster
