We just got back to the hotel from day 1 of Divisionals. The quality of drivers here is some of the best I've seen at an event in Louisiana.
Bradley came in third of three drivers in BSP with a time of 48.2xx His other compitition was a C4 running 335's all around with 2 drivers. If I remember correctly they were running 44.9xx and 45.09x That car's damn fast.
I'm 4th in SM out of 9 drivers with a time of 48.3xx. Justin with his S14 is 2nd in SM with a 47.3xx
The course changes a bit for tomorrow and hopefully I can catch up a bit.

Now I know why there aren't any nationally competitive Z's in BSP. I talked to the guys driving the C4 and they said that their car is only in the middle of the pact @ Nationals...

The black smoke was me killin second gear and roasting the tires all while running over an oil slick in the road..

No really, the black smoke is def not good.. its one of the things that made me throw in the towel with the car.. i had an oil change about 1K miles prior to that day and when i got home, i had to top it off 2 quarts.. oil pressure was low. I can work with small issues on the car, but once the engine started acting funny, i just lost interest. It didn't help any that the drivetrain warranty had just expired as well. Fug it.. sooner or later i will get back into something sporty.. prob when my mid life crisis comes along.. which is just around the cornder.

And I believe Greg is correct, dark smoke = rich, probably just needed a good tune.
it prob was just something small.. tune, wrong kind of oil, me driving like a jackass.. whatever it was, it wouldn't have made much of a difference to me at that point. Don't get me wrong, I miss the Z at times, but i think the sedan i have is waaaay more practical for me at this point. I have 2 little ones, and i can't exactly fit them in the Z.
