Guys today was great! Great weather and had such a good time.

Andy J was not able to make it as it was his birthday Ill have to let him off! :P (happy Birthday mate! lol_) Soooo I was team nissansportz all on my own ......Me and Jess left our house at 7:30am got to Elvington for about 9:30ish and got signed on. While I was queuing up for the sign on I got chatting to a guy behind me who ended up owning a V8 200SX I've seen in magazines and at TOTB last year! We had a great chat and being a fellow nissan owner invited me to come and set up in the pits with the SXOC team!

After signing on I had to get the car through the scrutineering, that was going to be fun! I dropped the car in the tech inspection area and 5 or 6 guys jumped all over it! lol.. The cheked wheels nuts, tires, under the bonnet, seat belts, you name it they checked it! Anyway it passed! ha... Next was the noise test! I had spoken to Dave Naxon about the fact it may not pass and he said he would get it through, the guy asked for 4K rpm to start with and he got a 99.1 dB reading! great, he asked for a 4.5K and got well over the 106dB limit so said "we will stick to the 4K reading then hey!" lol....


We had the driver briefing at 10:30am and the explained how the day would run, what class the cars would run in etc.

I ran the Zed in RWD class B.

Here's a few pic's taken off my phone.

Now for the results:

I went for the standing 1K first!

Runs:

1, 126.0mph just learning the track.
2, 153.0mph
3, 144.3mph
4, 154.7mph
5, 155.4mph <<<BEST RUN
6, 155.2mph

1/4 mile, I did not go for any records as I don't want to kill my clutch and the surface is not anywhere near as good a santa pod so ill save the 1/4 records for the drag strip!

Runs:

1, 13.51@116mph 2.45 60ft
2, 13.07@116mph 2.31 60ft
3, 13.07@118mph 2.42 60ft
4, 13.06@117mph 2.43 60ft
5, 12.82@118mph 2.27 60ft <<<BEST RUN


Handling circuit, never going to win this when the Dax rush with a cosworth turbo motors in my class! lol..

Runs:

1, 47.38sec
2, 46.92sec
3, 46.49sec<<<BEST RUN

Only had 3 runs on the handling circuit as it was busy and very hard on the brakes as there was no space to cool down etc. Im sure I could have dropped another 1sec off at least as some of the team SXOC guys had 10-12 runs and went from 50+ sec down to 42sec region! Also Very hard to put the power down! hahaha...

Over all standings were: 2nd :#2: in the standing 1K in the RWD class, 5th in the 1/4 mile, and 11th in the handling!!

Made up with the results as the only guy to beat me in the standing 1k was scudder from the SXOC in the 600+ WHP supercharged LS2 200sx!

Few video's from the event!

Some in-car standing K runs!

Thanks guys, My car had no chance agaisted some of the big power cars the blue R34 wa doin 9.2's 1/4's and some of the 4x4 cars were running up to 190-195mph in the standing K!! Good job there wasnt many high power RWD cars they hey! lol..

Zed felt very stable at 155+ mph and would have easy pulled 180+ with a long run!

 

Great pics, what an event!

 

Thanks for sharing

 

nice one Tim....

 

i can feel the powr

 

hey Tim looks like you had an ace day mate, i was gonna pop over to this but my car was still in the body shop what show you gonna be at next?

Tads

 

Your telling me! I wish the UK had some sick power 350z's to show some of the GTR boys up!

I've watched you video 80-170mph.... Dam your cars quick! lol..

My car did 80-140mph in 9 sec's you did it in 7 sec's! I need more boost! ha..

 

Hi mate, Not sure what event ill be at next. Ill throw up on the UK site and on Nissansportz what events im looking at mate.

What you having done at the bodyshop??

 

Nice vid. Seems like your car has plenty of juice and is still pulling good from 120+. I don't doubt the 180mph with some more track.

 

Anyone else notice that their speedos go to 180mph?

 

+1
I did a double take thinking it was kilo's but then I realized 180 kilos =/= 160 mph. Pretty neat. Alberto should get one of those

 

Nah.. Alberto uses a video accelerator in his videos.

His car is a weaksauce
