Default Irwindale 9/15 Recap...1.7 60' foots...finally

OK,

Alberto you are the king....THANK YOU!!!

I took your advise on how to lunch and I got 1.7 60 foots... best was 1.731

My best ET was 7.08 with a 93.81 mph.

Now my prior best ET was 7.77 but tonight I babied my shifting because I had all that trouble hitting 2nd gear last week. I believe I figured out what caused it because it happened to me once tonight: My shifter **** has turned a bit away and so because of it I shift at a different angle causing me to hit the gates...so to fix that I have to readjust the shifter **** after every run and I don't have problems.
I have to figure out how to get the **** to stay where it's supposed to stay.

a few fello my350Z members showed up as well, it's always good to see Z's around Especially when they are good people

Overall a good night I can't wait for Cali Speedway 1/4 mile next week.

Wow, very nice. I am glad you improved, you should have no problem hitting 11's now. Next time, launch just like that, and shift as fast as you can and you will be the next Z in the 11 second club. Good job

Only probelm now is that the only 1/4 mile track around here close to sea level is done for the year...If I get really really lucky I might hit a 11.9 at Cali Speedway next friday but chances on that are almost impossible because of the high elevations and strong head winds...but I'll try
