Year One was having a car show at their headquarters in Braselton, so I decided to meet some GTO friends there, who were entering their cars in the show.

After the show, they were hosting a 2 hour test and tune at the Atlanta Dragway, located in Commerce.

Now I wasn't expecting too much, as it was hot today, and the track sits at 1,200 feet in elevation. I normally run 3/10ths + slower there than at the other SE tracks. I also trap about 2 mph slower.

I went anyway, curious about the slave cylinder, since I only got 3 runs at Carolina Dragway. After leaving the Carolina Dragway, I filled up with Shell gas. I had run BP at Carolina Dragway, and was well under a 1/4 tank. Going home I burned off about 1/4, and a little more going to the show and track tonight, leaving between one half and 3/4 of a tank, but the car felt really strong since the fill up.

Long story short, I set a new Commerce PB, beating my last times out here noticably, while raising my trap by almost 2 mph. Keep in mind this is a slow track, so I am thrilled with the results, and think that I could have run 104- 105 mph at Carolina Dragway, dropping off another 3/10ths plus from my results here. Hmmmm.

Anyway, here is the timeslip and video, where I get smoked by a C5 running a 100 shot, but you can still see the best pass. I also ran a couple of other 13.5's, and trapped in the mid 102's. I launched at 3K rpms, letting the clutch out very quickly, to avoid pressure loss. I will get the video up soon. The DA was 3,017 feet!

Nice man. You need to get the clutch pressure problem fixed man. Also need to come out to steele soon. I'm fixing to get my clutch and swap pulleys, injectors and what not.

 

I will, once it gets cooler. Commerce is slow, but it's only 25 minutes from where I live.

 

so r u gonna go back to nissan and tell them that ur still having the problem? what are u planning to do about the slave cylinder problem?

 

I've already been in touch with them, and they are supposed to call back when I can bring the Z back in.

 

nice times for commerce. times there are usually horrible.
