So I ran my 03" track for the first time...ehh I've got to get better at it...

R/T- .605
60'- 2.3
330- 6.3
1/8- 9.7
mph- 75
1000- 12.5
1/4- 14.9
mph-94


Pretty shitty launch, had it at like 4000 rpms and pretty much spun thru first. On Nitto street tires and lowered the pressure to 30. Second run was worse but got ancy at the line and just rev pissed it and couldn't stop spinning. Better luck next time I suppose.

 

dude...is your track at an elevation or something?
It's awfully hard to run close to 15 sec times in a Z.
Even with VDC on I still ran 14.6 in my heavy *** touring Z. I don't know what you're doing but obviously you have a lot to learn. lol

Typing with a lithp?

Sounds like you are dumping the clutch, try letting it out slower next time then work your way up.

 

when is the next time you are going? i will meet up with you at the track and try to give you some tips. when they actually do prep there track i can cut low 2.0 60". i am not good at giving tips threw typing. so i am not going to try

 

Yes very much, my first time taking it to the track. I plan on doing a whole lot i mean a WHOLE lot better. lol

Yea I will PM you the next time I go, if they have one next wed. then Im most def. going. but will give you a notice.


Yea that was my mistake dumping the clutch. Just got ancy and dumped it. But Ill get it better and def let you guys know thanks.

 

I will be probably going there soon-been trying to get Jetpilot to go to-
curious what his 700 hp beast can do-we were supposed to go last
Friday to Bithlow but complications came up in his schedule and i did
not feel like going by myself.

I have run there about 7-8 different days and about 4-5 passes each
time with my Z. The launch is important at that track, have to get tires
warmed up well and pressures at about 26psi-each shift needs to be at
optimum power levels with no bogging or overrevs.
My best there so far is 13.84 but hoping to be at 13.6-13.7 this time
have done some mods since then on my heavy-*** grand touring auto Z.

 

I recommend stepping on the gas.

 

 

yea if you go next wednesday just let me know. i dont work on thursday so i can go if the track is open.

 

i just checked the weather and it should be in the mid 50's that night so i will be there for sure. and night of fire is on saturday so the track should be nice a preped.

 

 

okay yea Ill make plans for it but def. catch me out there. cant miss the le mans z. But ill pm you prior.

 

i did though... lol

 

You have a good attitude.

Every 350Z driver is a hot dog racer until they go to the dragstrip. CompuLink shows not favorites. Practice and you will get better.

 

I may make it out Wednesday night as well. The 240z is back on the road after it's latest round of upgrades (new EMS and turbo) and I want to put some tuning miles on it. I may try a pass or two on the street rubber (probably an exercise in futility), depending on the state of tune of the car.

Yea hopefully I will get better so I can keep this up. I went from sliding 240's to going straight on Z's....so far not the greatest but eh...who knows. This Wed. though Ill be out there.


Sweet Ill be out there, Ill keep an eye out for you. Ill be in a Le mans Track.

 

i will be out there wednesday night to. im getting another OEM clutch in tuesday because i burnt mine last time. im putting my test pipes on at the same time hoping to run 12s on a 100 shot

 

Okay see ya out there.

 

Won't make it out tonight... car is getting the better of me right now...
