I'd join for beer and commentary. Looks like 30% chance of rain but just scattered showers so not bad.

I'll be there even though it will be a little hotter than last friday. The track does hook better than before and is virtually empty until 7pm.
Any NA 350z want to challenge a 5AT full bolt-on G35? You have to at least run faster than 14's so bring your helmet.

I'll be there hopefully around 5 pm. Looks like the weather should clear up for the afternoon so we should be ok.
denchan: want to run against a 2011 WRX?

I'm seriously thinking about doing that. Probably closer to the fall since I want to enjoy the Z for the summer before anything else goes wrong.

You need to open the bottle regardless. I don't think I've EVER seen a solid nitro run in your car.

Couldn't run due to wheel stud failure....Thinking about a re-do on friday 6/8 any takers? Dave tell your CTS-V friend to bring some slicks and prepare for battle.

If I can shift better and if the driveshaft helps I would agree. I just can't seem to get my 1-2 down.

I have the same problem. 1 - 2 is the most difficult one.

coming from a newbie at the drag strip, my 1-2, feels like time just stops and i'm in the matrix...waiting/trying to get into 2nd. epic fail! I might try to get off early and come out randy.

Same exact thing here... I'm hoping I can get better 1-2 shifts by adjusting my timing, and that it's not just the syncro's holding me back.
