It really wasn't a great day to run, as my rear tires are just about gone, changing the diameter significantly and a clutch that wasn't quite giving it all in 4th, after hard launches. In fact, I smelled the clutch for a long time after leaving, and any time I did any spirited driving at all, like getting on the freeway, so now a new clutch is in order.

That said, I had a great time, and met up with a few of the guys from here, like DayBlueZ and Peking.

The conditions, mid 60's, humidity 60%, pressure falling, as rain was approaching. There was also a 10-15 mph headwind at times, out of the NE.

New best 60' on what's left of the original Potenzas in the rear.

1.913

New best 1/8

8.607

New best 1/4

13.329

I'll post some slips later.

DayBlueZ and I were running neck and neck time wise, all day, and he has an auto! I believe his mods are JWT pop charger, Kinetix plenum and TP's, but he can elaborate better.

I hope to reach 12's with a new clutch and tires, and maybe some colder and drier weather. I decided on not running DR's. As of now the Michelin Pilot PS2's are my choice for replacements.

I also posted a record low on passes at Steele, as I didn't want to abuse the car as much, given the worn clutch and tires.

1.91 60ft on stock tires!? Congrats, very impressive time for your mods. What were your 1/8 and 1/4 traps?

VeeTec

Worn down tires and a little clutch slippage inhibited the traps a bit. The 1/8th was around 81 on average and the 1/4 was around 103.5 on average, with a 103.61 best.

The new tires and clutch should make a noticable difference there.

Thats awesome man, your still on stock suspension right? I miss launching on the stock set-up. Your 1.91 on stock tires is better than my first launch on slicks, good for you, sad for me Keep up the good work....

VeeTec

Yeah, it's still stock. Thanks.

sweet times...we would be a good run street tire to street tire. Great 60's, I knew someone could pull 1.9s on street tires in a Z

VeeTec

Thanks. I pulled high 1.9's back when it was stock, but this time I was getting sooo close to a 1.8 I could smell it, or maybe that was my clutch.

Yea, that thing was quick out of the hole. And strong the whole track.
I could only manage a 13.4 that day with a 1.98 60', 8.71 1/8 @ 79.51 and 13.49 @ 103.95.
Overall it was a good day.
I want test pipes now!!!

VeeTec

I thought we ran very close in times. I just got you out of the hole on that run.

See you back at Steele, after I get a new clutch and some tires.
