I can't make it this time. Got into a small accident this last weekend and the car is running but not at 100%. However next time I will be interested.

Good luck tonight.

103? It has to be those heavy *** wheels on there. You should take them off. If you give them to me, I'll take good care of them.


BTW - Both the Skins and the Ravens won this evening.

HAHA i am still the all motor drag champion!
I saw your launches and it isnt your fault its that stiff rear suspension. You didnt hook up the launch although it was better than any other 350z with slicks. But then when you see your traps i cant really explain that besides not driving your car for a while prior to racing. Hopefully ill get to break into 11's before the race season is over. You gotta get 12's before you do anything else. Right now its just me and Sfarah in the all motor 12's.

do u have coilovers bert? if so, raise the front end a shitload and you'll get better launches since most of the weight will already be leaning towards the rear. also, i was watchin your burnouts, do you have to heat those slicks up or not? if so you should do a burnout in 2nd gear, you'll heat em up a lot better and get better traction. if weather is good next friday i'm gonna run my car, tryin to hit a 2.0 60ft.

I dont want to raise the front or adjust change the suspenion I would need a new alignment after, Ive already had 3 this past year. No doubt the stiffness of the JIC's and lack of weight tranfer are making my life more difficult. WOrst thing imo is the negative 2.3 degrees rear camber, I have a smaller contact patch in the rear, I wasnt thinking of drag racing when I got these Anyways I pull the brake fuse and heat them up plenty powerbraking them, I dont trust my stock clutch to handle a 2nd gear burnout, but I do for a 6500 rpm clutch drop Oh well, next time Im taking the heavy tired 19's off the front....and Bobby, you still havent beaten ME motor for motor EVER

BTW-a 2.0 60ft should be no problem in your Corrado...people pull that in weak a$$ Probes with 140fwhp.

should just grab some stock suspension then. u get the JIC's cuz something happened to the stock stuff? didn't know you're on stock clutch.

my car has a lot of low end torque though, i can't even drop it at 2k rpms. gotta ride the clutch through 1st for a good 60 ft. and i just haven't done that yet. my car blew a power steering rack seal today and spewed PS fluid everywhere so i gotta fix that **** now. u gonna go next fri.?

I dont want to put on stock suspension just to run a few tenths faster, Ill take amazing handling and looks any day over a .1 reduction in 60ft. BTW like I said Im not losing sleep over Bobby beating my time, his car launches better, thats the end of that.
