I usually go every thursday to Irwindale (1/8 mile) including this coming one.

You should come to Irwindale would be cool to have another fast Z there.
Just make sure you got a roll bar since you put that much more power down than me and I am right at the border...(7.5 is the magic number).

Would be good to see you there...I'm tired of beating every one there without a challenge, other than the true race cars of course...I got my booty whipped by a 5.5 second car there 2 weeks ago
It seems to be 8 to 9 second cars and then 5 to 6 second cars, very few 7 seconds

I just found this calculator that gives you real time Altitude based on the current weather conditions...very cool
Fontana as of 2:15 pacific time:
Altitude: 1100
Air Temperature: 80
Altimeter 29.21
Dew Point 37
that equals to Density Altitude of 3605 Feet above sea level
here's the calulator:

No knock-out, the camaro guy decided to keep his nouth shut after-all... 2nd after my fellow Z buddies decided to Blast me on Pensacolaracing.com I have nothing to do with them because they hate being #2 in the food chain. Backagain hates life because he decided to buy that POS vortech in which he gets his *** handed to him all of the time. The show-queen jamie now decides to go FI and then decides to run his mouth when the guy can't even do his own oil changes on his car. Backagain you burned bridges with me when you decided to open your mouth taking up for your dip**** friend jamie when he wrote what he did... You know I'm the one to beat here in our area and you can't stand it so you result to being a dick. Very uncool when I have done so much for you guys with your cars....

wow, hadn't seen this post yet. hmmm.... let me see, one, you helped me with my headers, thanks. everything done to my car i have done myself or with the help of knowledeable friends. oil changes, please you are pathetic! bring something more than that. i wish i knew about this post when i saw your fat *** this past saturday. we both know why people don't like you. you are an *******. harry, don't cross paths with me and if you do, you'd better keep your mouth shut. because you know....i'd whoop your fat ***!
you are the biggest drama king, i mean QUEEN on all the Z forums, most everybody hates you. you talk so much **** on the net and try to make ammends in person everytime. Who cares how fast your Z is!!! or that you are a good driver. what does that matter when you struggle to make and keep friends. now you can bask in the glory of your victories by your damn self, because like i said, nobody likes you.
Ray has fun racing his Z whether he wins or loses. you on the other hand, cry like a little b%^&* and always wait till you get home (on the net) to do it.

geez louise...... so much drama with you racer types!! why do any of you guys even race. no one is ever happy with the results. just like in boxing the only sure win is a knockout. whoever is in front when the finish line is crossed is the winner it is as simple as that. Boz won from twenty, harry won from 40! i was there for all the races this Past weekend, it is so funny how well everyone was getting along (or at least appeared to get along) that day but now are involved in a heated exchange of words. it is ridiculous if you ask me, i am sure many others think so too.
yammy you need to retire from street racing man, the pot is always getting stirred when you are involved. you are the best driver i know but enough is enough, this drama has gotten really old. lordofchaos, i know you too and you can get a little sharp with your words as well (mostly sarcasm), to the point of pissing people off. why doesn't everyone forget about racing yammy, then none of this drama would be happening. backagain handles winning and losing better than 95% of the people on this board. if more of you had his attitude, there would be a lot less fussing and fighting. just my 2 cents.
what others think about harry (yammy) aka brooke:

You are one to talk...you seemed all cool with the races and everything, then soon as Jared's car goes in the shop the **** talking starts. But after talking to you on the car ride there and back, I can't say that I am totally surprised. Out of the 3 people who met you the first time that day I would think I talked to you the most and know you the best, and you sir are a Piece of ****...
lordofchaos wrote:
well.. i witnessed all the races... the z06 won the first run, the 350z won the second run. simple as that.
the z06 shut down when it ran out of gear in 4th, he shut down the same in BOTH races... why is it an issue in the first one... because he was still ahead?
I do NOT know too many people that race into overdrive.. I SURE AS HELL DONT, since that is usually the WEAK gear in the transmission, and it is easy to break.
I like how you said that he WON after the first race, when y'all stopped to let the cars cool down, but once the z06 is safely in the shop, suddenly it changes to "I really won the first race".
How is it Injected's fault that he was in the chase car on the second run, did you not ASK HIm to be in the chase car?? The chase car was slower than the 2 cars running, what did you want him to do, zoom in until it pixelated and you cant see anything?
The video shows it clearly, you LOST the first race, and WON the second. Own up, you are a man (and old, maybe you need glasses?), not a spoiled little ***** that is pissed cuz he isnt getting his way.

Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
stock block, UR pullies, crawford cast plenum, borla td exhaust, clutch and flywheel, tune by GRD, boost @9psi (i think). i think he dyno'd like 385 hp.
it is the fastest Z in the area that i know of.
