Default New PB: 11.68@120mph

Went to the track Sunday set on 11.5s. Conditions were so-so. Density alt was hovering near 2000ft for most of the day, so my traps were low. I still managed to pull off a new PB of 11.68@119.88mph with a 1.70 60' on 18 inch DRAG RADIALS I'm pretty sure that it's the 18 drag radial record. I did manage a 120.22mph trap later in the day, but a bit of spin into second gear killed my E.T. on that pass. The car definitely has some more in it with better conditions.

Here's my car:


Here's my slip:

And finally something new. Larry (gnxs on the board) was kind enough to lend me his in-car camera mount, and I got a good view of my shifting (not quite as "forceful" as alberto, but equally quick ) on one of my 11.7x passes. BTW - the banging sound as I do my burnout and go down the 1/4 is the sound of little rocks coming off my DRs and hitting my wheel wells....my car is TOO quiet

Who said TT car's can't 60 as good as ST cars???

Bri, that's awesome man... Congrats on the PB and it sounds like you will be improving on that again soon with some better conditions.
Sweetness man.

24psi in the DRs...was hooking so I didn't feel the need to go any lower. Stock camber in the rear (my SPC arms just got here yesterday)

I have ET streets in 15 inch welds...but I think I'm going to sell them and pick up some ET street radials. I'll be able to run those with my new axles and hope to see some low 1.6 to possibly high 1.5 60' times.

yeah i have et drags 15 X8.5 and they hook incredibly and they weigh 37 pounds with rims and tires, thats what i would look into. 18 psi i can spin them and 16 psi is dead hooking, plenty of room to play with and they will absorb any kind of wheel hop...


1.63 s so far... good job man, are you still stock bottom end??

Nice times considering the conditions man, I always like to see in-car vids from others, no doubt you can drive the shifting just looks so soft to me lol. Even your launch seemed "soft" to me but beats my best on slicks by .06 second. I did notice you launch a little higher than me I have to stop being a pu$$y and just ***** my car out of the hole. Cool vids, congrats again and keep up the good work, 11.5's are in your future

Yea, Brian is "sneaky fast". Not alot of drama (inside the car and out), just damn good results.

TT's are certainly the way to go on 350Z's.

I may be "sneaky fast", but your car flat out HAULS.
