Went to Cayuga Dragway located in Ontario yesterday. Thought I'd be in the 13s (just like everyone else on here) but apparently I'm not the hot **** that I thought I was. My timeslips are kinda crappy as they spent the whole night in my pockets being molested by my sweaty palms, so sorry for the poor quality. Elevation I believe is 600' and it was a pretty cool night, temperaturewise. I got a total of 4 runs in, alot less than I had hoped. First time ever to the track so I was a bit nervous, I didn't have any sort of method to my runs. Shift fast and hope for the best I guess. My mods are in my sig, any advise would be appreciated. Gonna have to watch that 'Ranger' guy's video, maybe I can learn something.

I wrote another novel in the Regional section earlier today:

Right lane was closed for most of the night.

I ran a 14.2 @ 100.3 first time.
A 15.7 (everything went wrong)
A 14.9 (mis-shift into 3rd)
And 14.3 @ 99.55 (meh)
I didn't care about my reaction time as you may tell.

 

Every 350Z driver is a hot dog racer until they go to the dragstrip. Compulink does not discriminate.

The Z is running strong picking up 23 MPH in the second 660 feet. I would like to see 2.0 second 60 foot times: It can be done. Your 1/8 mile trap speed indicates room for improvement in the first to second and second to third shifts.

13.99 seconds is easier said than done. Seat time will fix everything.

 

+1 couldnt have said it better myself.

 

100mph traps are 13's with a good launch. A 2.0 60ft is harder to get than people think it is with these cars. If you can get a 2.1 and shift well you will see a 13.9.

 

I've been looking at the 1/4 mile times and yeah, my launches need work. My 1st-2nd shift needs to improve as well cause I was getting wheel hop there too. 13s look very promissing, maybe before the year's end I'll get out one more time and improve on my runs.
