Im glad you had a good time.. We got a shiite load of runs in. And it was fun lining up against you. Congrats on your new PB. Really looking forward to the drag night.

Thanks Chris, Yep very close and your right LOL my 60ft was a mess. The track just did not seem to be hooking well. Cold weather and not the best track prep. I will get there though.

Once again, thanks for helping me change my axles.
Sorry about your car Dave, glad we were able to swap out the Axle at the track and get you on your way home. Just make sure you recheck everything.

I thought it was the highest trap out of a VQ35DE but i could not remember if someone posted a higher one. Atleast my self tuning seems to be doing something Yep, i know my 60ft sucks, It will get better. I know i can hit 12's... Just taking my time, thats all

Thanks all, for all the kind comments

I hope to see you running the same times as i do.. I think your car is a factory freak

Keep up the great driving and congrats on your 13.2.. The list has been updated

I hit a personal best of 114 mph trap speed, but my ET's have alot of improving to do. My drivetrain also needs to be improved as well if i'm going to keep drag racing and try out radials or slicks.

That's it. I'm going to grad school in the NE. I want to get in on the fun! Dallas Z drivers have nothing going on (no track events, no meets, no cruises, not even dyno days, etc).

Seems like we have a fairly large Drag racing following up here...

I am trying my best to get everyone interested that i can. Thus the reason behind the Top 25 list

haha, i've been interested in drag racing since I was 15. Might consider setting the car up for road racing some day. Then I won't have to worry about breaking axles.

I don't know anything about road racing but I would assume that it has its own list of parts to break.
