Well my goal for the day was to hit a 13.5 but I didn't know if it was gonna be possible with the stupid heavy *** stern wheels (stock size and weigh about 35lbs each from what I've gathered). The tires are some cheap nexens, stock size. This is the first time I've had a rwd car at the track but I've got some passes under my belt. The track was empty but I was having trouble getting traction in 2nd gear. First pass involved me spinning all of 2nd and running a 14.3, my 2nd pass I was told I needed a helmet (13.7) and my 3rd time I got a 13.5.

My best pass was a 13.50@103.75 with a 2.05 60ft.

I hit my goal and was happy. Now I really wanna get some stock wheels and see if I can do a little better before I throw a few bolt ons at it.

 

nice...keep us posted once you get stock or better wheels with timeslips to see the improvement!

 

Nice driving. Few new members do so well. Post time slip here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840...ons-stock.html

 

The Z is a lot of fun to race compared to the fwd cars I've tracked. The only thing I didn't care for was the wheel hop. I thought I left it behind when I left the fwd game lol. It only seemed to do it when I'd clean the tires off before runs (just spin them over). And a few times hitting 2nd. Traction in 2nd in general was hard to come by most of the day. I still had a blast!

 

If you think it was fun on a straight road , wait till you try driving it on the type of track it was made for.

 

Exactly what i'm looking forward too.
1/4 races only last a dozen seconds.

While tracks and laps can last a minute or two.



Congrats to the OP on achieving you're goal time!
