Or that you're a bracket class champion?
How about this: stop your yapping and produce a timeslip with a Z. It's pretty simple.

I don't post much on the forum but if anyone is concerned with getting more out of their 5AT shoot me a PM. I promise I don't give crappy advice and there's more to dragging a 5AT than mashing the gas.

Thanks for playing....boy
Instead of just a time slip...how about I post you a link to a drag racing article
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...01/ai_n9182666
If its too much to click and read I will spare you and post these highlights
FIREBIRD RACEWAY, Boise, Idaho (Nov. 23) - Firebird Raceway crowned its 2002 champions at its 35th annual awards banquet, which was held at The Grove Hotel in downtown Boise, Idaho, and attracted a capacity turnout of enthusiasts.
Honored at the event were Fuller (Super Pro), Matt Jessel (Pro), Rose Shaw (Sportsman), Richard Pedraza (Pro Snow/Bike), Gregg Jorgensen (High School), Ty Bull (Alumni), Sean Shaffer (Jr. Dragster Lightning), Andy Stote (Jr. Dragster Thunder), Sergio Aguirre (Import), Melba Outlaws (Silver Club Cup), Stateline Racing (Bronze Club Cup), Hot Shots (Copper Club Cup), Borah High (AAA Series), and Middleton High (AA Series).
Thats me....not a theory
Electronic Engineering huh? By age 20 I was a certified Air Traffic Controller and By 22 I had graduated from the Defense Information School as a combat journalist....you wanna talk three dimensional time/space calculations and spatial relationships with real world weather with peoples lives in your hands?
Stick to books, I doubt youve ever had to keep anyone from dying, spare me your tap dancing show
You dont know what your talking about....end of story

As entertaining as this entire thread going OT was, I think it's time to stop.
- You guys can't argue that DA doesn't matter (this includes temperatures), no matter what you think or what you run.
- It also doesn't matter if you made a pass in a 350Z or not. Experience is experience.
All I want is for noob racers to quit regurgitating **** they read on the forums. I don't give much advice, as I still consider myself to be a drag race noob and don't think I have much to offer yet. And I actually have timeslips (for consistency) to show that I'm not as bad as half of those giving "advices."

No I said the list will always comprise of drivers at tracks with negative DA ---- not that the fastest runs will always be negative DA conditions just that those living at these tracks have an opportunity of the absoloute best conditions -1000 is a dream to people in Denver whereas its a reality at Englishtown every year
I here you bro, but if it makes you feel better My track is 111 ft ASL, and on that rainy day my DA was like 2900 plus.

Screw "DA"!
DA is just a lame excuse for $hity E.T's
Thats like me saying I ran a 11.6 with a DA of 2900, and my arm was sore, so really I should have run a 11.1 or maybe a 10.9..... Thats Ghey!!!

Do some research, spread the word
Dave.....when your armed with facts the roadsterboys just fall off with a simple brush of my shoulders
That being said if I can finish moving in time I will hopefully be attending one of the upcoming private meets at Cali Speedway....its $100 but your guaranteed more than one run ---- the track is at least 2 hours away from me (moving to SD)...but at least then AL cant say I havent made a pass in the Z
Although Qualcom Stadium still might have their 1/8 mile setup.....have to check into that but its not a sanctioned strip.....
LACR = CLosed Terminal Island = CLosed
Cali Speedway = 2+ hours away and a 6hr full day may net 3 runs if that
So that private meet is my best shot at making some decent passes and testing the surface there.....dont think they prep too well though

The tracks I run at are 1+ hours away and everytime I go I have to swap tires, worry about towing it home, etc. If I can do it you lazy guys who dont run can do it also...DA is DA and the sooner you concede to using the NHRA factors for board members the better the list will reflect Z's ACROSS THE NATION and not just east coast tracks
The only sea level track SoCal guys have access to is 6-7 hours away....I'm sure you make trips like that all the time

BTW ... for the Record I've made 30+ passes in my Z. So seriously STFU and keep your assumptions to yourself.

And your trying to tell me something about drag racing....wow
Your the one who made ASSumptions of which you were wrong and now a little sore about
But whatever....had a chance to google dynapack yet? lolThe main issue is using the NHRA correction factors to offer ALL members a chance at making the list and I was responding to AL and the other guy who was a little weak in the DA factor dept
I knew there would be plenty of ignorance when it came to elevation factors because many of you live/track your cars at sea level and the ignorant posts more than confirmed my theory
Good luck with books

Tell my why my years drag racing dont matter AL....how does a run in the Z change that? You keep avoiding it because you know it doesnt
I am presenting FACTS
The main issue is using the NHRA correction factors to offer ALL members a chance at making the list
Care to comment on my statement in BOLD
Or do NHRA rules not apply to Z drag racers?
