I will be competing at Cecil County Dragway. If anyone would like to join me they are more than welcome.




See www.cecilcountydragway.com for details.

 

Have you gone yet? I keep having deju vu all over again each week with this thread...

 

LOL. I race every Sunday. But so far no one has joined me. Maybe I should resign to the fact that no one likes me.

 

its not that at all david,it just seems to want to rain every sunday now.i cant even get on the golf course.

 

If I had a damn trailer as a back up (to my car breaking) to race so far from my house Id be up @ Cecil every weekend with ya David-I love running at that redneck track...

 

my b-in-law has a trailor and a full size chevy truck in Aberdeen (25 minutes away). I'm sure we could have it on standby...

 

The rain stinks.

Also several first time racers have expressed interest, but I told them that Summit ET racing is not a good first choice. Test and tune would probably be better for a new racer.

 

hehehehje..

Rednecks have yet to figure out the the 350Z. When I spot a Muscle Car with slicks 0.5 seconds, the drivers are like What the hell do you have under the hood?

 

BTW last year Mason Dixon had a great Quick-8 Import class on Sundays. The bump was high enough for a 350Z to make it into the Quick-8. This year they moved the Quick-8 from Sunday to Friday. Very inconvenient for me.

 

David-Ill have axles on order sometime this week, after I install them Ill start going up to Cecil more to run with you-now that I wont have to worry about the weakpoint in my car breaking. Do you have any experience running on Saturday mornings?

 

Saturday at Cecil is Test & Tune. I do OK with 2 practice runs, then selecting a dial-in. So I don't go to Test & Tune.

 

I ran my other car there 1X on a Saturday, and I ran 14 X in less than 1 hour, and then went home. Best track experience Ive ever had for $30-35....

 

OK...help a track newb out:

1) Quick-8 Import class?
2) Test & tune?
3) What is Summit ET racing and why isn't isn't good for a track newb?

Thx

 

1) Quick-8 Import class? – All cars get two practice runs. The fastest 8 cars are selected. Only those cars compete.

2) Test & tune? – Just for practice. There are no winners or losers.

3) What is Summit ET racing and why isn't isn't good for a track newb? – This is the most popular type of drag racing. It allows cars of differencing capabilities to compete. Lets say that I drive a 14.0 second 350Z, and you drive a 13.0 second car. At the starting line, you spot me 1.0 seconds: I get the green light 1.0 seconds before you do. First to cross the finish line wins. The looser is eliminated. In the first round half of the cars are eliminated. This can be discouraging for a first time racer.

 

Anyone interested?

 

My Z will be getting n2o installed...I'm out...but I WILL take you up in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the explanations...I agree w/ you re: summit ET racing

 

The weather is going to be beautiful so get your butts out of bed in the morning. Besides, I cant face down all those damn Mustangs by myself. I’m going to need some help.

 

Good Luck David!

Take some pics and post some slips!!!
