Finally going to the track next weekend
I'm just glad to see you out at the track.
As for drag racing I've done a handful of it when I was younger, ran my 280ZX Turbo as with my Honda back in the day, in the end I found that I really didn't give a damn about drag racing.
If I were to get into racing I wouldn't give two ***** about my car and follow alberto to VIR for some bike racing, now THATS where it's at.
P.S I have no idea where they're at but my N/A civic had some 13 second time slips.

Racing on bikes is fun, but I can't get past not having some metal around me. Just this weekend I watched a T1 Z06 vette hit the wall at turn one on Summit Main......at 145mph. Walked away with some soreness, etc, but.....he walked away. Brake line broke and he never had a chance to save it.

Alberto, it was nice to meet you. Zain, always good catching you down at the track. Having normal non-redneck people at the track to talk to makes the day more fun.
Alberto, thank so much for posting my second worst run of the day. I missed third gear--haven't done that since my first night drag racing the car a couple months after I bought it. My worst on Saturday was a 17.xx that I just abandoned the run after launching too high and lighting up the tires.
Let me know when you guys are heading to Cecil next. I'm planning on hitting a Weds night soon.

Sounds fun, let me know so I can try and make it out at least to watch. Maybe if we do an evening test and tune run it won't be as bad but like you said we won't put down any good times during the heat.

Summit Main will always be in my head as I had the most fun and terrifying experience there. I got lucky both bike and health.
Shin - even if the Hyundai ran a worse time, he out tree'd you and he made it to the line first. You lost

Even though Jeffie doesnt like dragging, Id still like to see him run his car to see what he can do. I think everyone regardless of mods should run for fun every now and then.
Shin has been a good sport thru all of this, Id like to see him run on a cooler day/night.
Leaning into the corners > leaning out of them (body roll, even if slight). I do want to take a car onto a road course though, I just cant do it in the Z, not anywhere near reliable enough.

I'm down for a weds TNT how about jun 8th or 15th? Weds you will get about half the runs you got that Saturday due to the shorter time of being open.
Yes it will be 70-80 out, but it won't get any hotter compared to a Saturday when you get there at 9am it's 70 and by 1 or 2 it's 90+ with the sun beating down on you.
I'm sure AJ will be down for one of those days.
Plus it's cheaper to have some fun $15 (weds) vs $35 (sat) TNT.

Here's a video of me racing my brother from last weekend. It was 85 degrees that day and this run wasn't our best, but it was the only video of both of us and we were only a tenth apart.
