I wish my track prepped as well as your track does and I envy your weather. I went this past Friday and the temp was 90ºF with humidity close to 90 (DA 2200-2600' all night). Needless to say, my car couldn't even trap 100mph.

Why are you only launching at 1700rpm? If it was gripping that well, you could have and should have launched higher.

And no, her Nismo Z isn't stock.

believe it or not there are other girls with Zcars that track and modify.

congrats on the time girlie...

i need to get my windshield fixed so i can make some runs on my new set up. and perhaps some stickier tires too, my best 60' is 2.0. i ran one of my guy friends HRs and pulled him but i was not hooking up what so ever. damn 1st gear rolls should have gone from 30 (all this done on a treadmill in mexico).

too bad im slower then my bf now, i need the boosty too

I think its great that you race your car. The reference to Jessica Barton was because the OP posted a link with her picture and she's quite pretty. Post up a pic of yourself and maybe if there's enough of you pretty girls racing you could do a MY350Z.COM racing calendar.

Just some bolt on's no FI yet. AAM, a local shop just built a Nismo w/ a customer tt kit and it's SICK -the guy lives in the same neighborhood that I do... lol what are the chances? 3 Nismo's in 1 neighborhood! LOL
Yeah, we're pretty lucky, they prep that track pretty well and the burnout box is perfect there's a little dip so you can really get your tires to stay there and spin (they keep it pretty wet too). Believe it or not there are alot of good girl drivers in this area! Must be something in this mid a water!

I've seen countless idiots try to race ... (think Hogan for example) I'm all for idiot drivers staying FAR FAR away from anything related to racing.

We finally have some respectable female members on our forum - ones who actually track/race their cars, instead of sitting in front of the computer trying to get more attention from male members. We need more of you guys and less of the ones we already have trolling around the OT.

edit - I just remembered that there's like 1 or 2 more who actually work on their cars - also very respectable.

Thanks it's unfortunate that gender is still even a topic, but I agree w/ you. I wish some of those girls would either shut up or start driving- they continue to justify the stereotype and make it hard for the rest of us to gain any respect.

That's not that bad! I've had some runs in that range I did like 2 hours of hot lapping one day to get it just right. I've probably run down the 1/4 like 50-60 times in the past 3 months. I wish I could give you advice but frankly i'm one of those people that completley sucks at trying to explain things. If it makes you feel better I dumped the clutch one time off the line too hard and the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. I ran a 20.50 because I couldn't get the clutch to engague I know the car can do it.. most of my runs are in the 13.5 to 13.65 range. .. i've just had a few fluke 13.4's

cammed and supporting mods. im actually taking it to our vette shop tommorow to see what it puts down in NOT 95 degree heat and 40 percent humidity. im flirting with the idea of boosting it end of summer and having tibbs do that as well. i just drag, and hit up the n. ga mtns about once a month. i havent dragged recently, its a process with me being a full time student/ full time job in atlanta. hopefully i can make it to SDR soon. i would love to go to rd atl but 500 dollars a session owns me plus i work weekends.

Grats on the new PB. It would be really nice if Todd could put together another track day later in the fall. I'd love to see all the N/A Z's break into the 12's on the same day.
