That was Shin Beats that ran 14.0@98 against you. He wasnt to happy about it and left the event without us.

No sh*t... Well I don't have a problem with him. At least he races & is trying. Nothing I hate more than a guy that tries racing, sees that he s*cks & always will, comes out saying that he finds it boring or doesn't like it. Not everybody has to like it, but most use that as an excuse.

I spoke to alot of people, to bad you Mid-Atlantic guys didn't come over. I would have connected faces to all those crazy Shin Beats posts

I don't think I ran against Andre that day. And I didn't leace the event until I raced Derek heads up and ran 13.8 and lost out to his 13.5.

You don't remember a black z in the left lane waiting for you by the finish line?
Just kidding pal. I think everyone likes you, otherwise they would ignore you not continue picking on you. Everyone here knows that I've said & done things that now I realize could have been hadled much better.
I proof read now before pressing the post button

OP-you used to post weird $hit but I've always respected your driving. Keep up the good work. Don't worry about Shin, he is an emo.

I ran against you Sunday you ran 12.8 to my 13.4. I talked to you after the soda machine took your money before your semi final run.

I think next yr they should handicap it everyone was trying to avoid lining up with you because it was a guaranteed loss to you unless you made a serious mistake (red light).

Actually you really didn't have to push your car hard to beat most of the cars running.

I'll post the video when I ran you during TNT later tonight.

Nice meeting you.

Thanks
I realize now that posting was new to me & I got too emotional & posted before thinking. People can't really change, but they can always diviate a bit from their set path & I'm trying. What?

I suspect that was the reason there were almost no 370z's in our class. They went to the bracket class.
That was very dissapointing to me because I wanted to show them why we still love our 350z's.
Well either I go to you guys or you go to me. Good tires/traction would get us closer together.
Nice to meet you too & maybe next time we could have a longer car talk time.

handicap tree in the finals would be nice...there's always going to be a huge spread in E/T's in these kinds of classes. But I can understand the shootout was to please the crowd..

Yeah we probably did run, but I didn't leave until around 4 AFTER I ran against Derek and lost out at the actual competition.

Default I've got an idea - long post

What I saw at the Niss. Atco day was Nissan guys having a good time, but there was more. They were happy seeing so many Nissans at a drag strip & real PASSION for trying to do well. Talked to a young guy that came with a 13.9 as best time. After studying his time slip & realizing that he had a very bad 60' time, he tried leaving at a much lower RPM. Next run was a 13.5. He will get new tires & do low 13's soon. The G guys had heavier cars but they still tried very hard to do well. One G went all the way to the semi fanals against me. What did he do? He pulled a hole shot on me by doing a .022 R/T. Had passion, wanted to win & did what he had to.
Now to my idea,
The shops like RAD, VINNIE 10 & others did a great job. Why don't they get together with other imports & have bigger events & several not just one. That would make it interesting & more affordable. Add more bracket classes to the regular classes & let them enter more than one. So many more could & would participate. I think they would get a ton more Nissan guys coming for the fun..
???????

Yea it was a blast, so cool seeing so many nissans at the track. Vinny was riding around on his moped making sure everyone knew what was going on with the racing. Can't wait until the next one and I'll be 100% sure my car is running correctly next time LOL.
