Z Car Garage Drag Racing Series 2010
The Z Car Garage Drag Racing Series returns for 2010. Rob from Z Car Garage (www.zcargarage.com) is hosting a drag competition for all-years of Zs, Gs, and Datsuns at Infineon Raceway. Come join us for a few nights of fun and Z-ing "in a straight line". Walt (Fowlman) won the last series in his supercharged 350Z. There will be one event per month starting April 7th and continuing through November 11th assuming the weather cooperates with us.
Generally, the Wednesday Night Drags events are held at Sears Point Raceway on most Wednesday nights during the year. The gates open at 3:30 and racing is from 5-10pm. One typically gets a few practice (non-competitive) runs in before the racing starts assuming you get there early. All the information you need about the track and racing itself is located here: http://www.infineonraceway.com/racew...y_night_drags/
Prizes!
1st Place: One Pair of New BF Goodrich Drag Radials courtesy of Z Car Garage
2nd Place: $100.00 Gift Certificate at Z Car Garage
Points:
Sears Point Wednesday events are bracket racing. If you show up early, each driver gets 4 or 5 practice runs before the sessions begin. This is a competition of skill, not of speed, so come show off even if you're SLOW!
1 point: Once the sessions begin, each time you advance
(Sears Point staff puts a smiley face on your slip), you get one point. The goal is to NOT run against each other until absolutely necessary (i.e. everyone stages in the same lane until the final brackets)
3 points: Runner-up (loss in the finals) - trophy awarded
5 points: Winner of class - trophy awarded
Points are only valid on the dates ZCG goes to Infineon (4/7, May, June, July, August, September, October, possibly November). I'll update this post as we set the dates for future months.
All competitors must sign waiver @ Zcargarage before entering competition (or sign at track and give/mail to Rob).
Rob at ZCG has planned 7 April as the first event in the series, but stay tuned here, and join your fellow Datsun and Nissan enthusiasts for some friendly, safe, and legal racing!

Thanks for the help with the dead battery Chris. I knew it was on it's last legs, but didn't think leaving the fans on would kill it that quick. Glad you had a good time. Let me know when you want to go back. I can always use some practice before the next ZCG event.

Anyone who ran this time or last can see their runs at: http://1320go.com/
It cost $19.95 for a membership, but it has archives of all drag races at Infineon. I haven't joined yet, but I think it is by date and your name.

*ahem* I think that was a silver 350Z that I was driving last Wed, fella!
Sweet! We are setting up the date for the Aug event. My 300ZX TT just got a new clutch and tune, so I'll probably be in that next time.
Such a shame that you couldn't make your next run. You actually had plenty of time! I was flailing my arms at you to turn around because the track had stopped for a few minutes and you could have easily gone up to run against that Bimmer.
Very cool! I see our times here: http://www.1320go.com/infineon/getDates.php
