Exclamation Another WED Night Drag @Infineon 8/31 Confirmed with Raceway

Thats right this wednesday. We are gonna have our biggest G/Z presence at the Infineon Raceway Wed. night drags ever! Fi'd G's & Z's, sub 14 second All motor Z's. If you can go, make it this wed night. Meet place will be 1:30pm Sharp! @ Zcargarage. See all yal there!

My prediction for me is.

Run 11's
Breaking axle or something.
Get kicked off for running to fast

In that order from most likely to least likely.

If I had my reflashed ECM, I'd likely join...but alas, I do not.

Good luck hitting them 11s tho.

Me, too like today. However I try to work early for the WEd drags and luckily work is pretty flexible for my occasional early days.

I'll be there Bruce. Is this a points meet? I had a great run against a hot 300ZX last week. He will be there. He is a 11.50 sec. car. Walt

Looking forward to those vids!! Some fast Z's out there and the turnout was great. Corsair (Sean) got up to third place in the finals! Great job Sean!!

I ran my best time so far last night 13.8...............not bad for an old guy in a 5AT.

I used my "employee" excuse and was able to get 4 runs in.
2.1 60ft 12.6 @114
1.85 60ft 12.46 @113 missed a gear
2.0 60ft 12.24 @115.99
2.0 60ft 12.21 @116.5 I hit a 8.0 @91mph in the 1/8th on this run.

If I can get that 1.8 and have a clean run i should go 11.9 maybe 11.8's. Next time....

Bruce,
Your car really looks good when you hook up. It squats down and hauls azz. You go through the gears like a bike..........very short interval beween shifts. You might want one of those 5AT pumkins in your car. Give it a little more legs.

DUDE I HAD SO MUCH FUN !!!!!!
I should have some vids and pics up by tonight!
Problem is that I can't upload clips larger than 20mb I think, and those are the some of the best ones with Bruce/Sean's/Rob's/Steve's burnouts and runs...I think I even got Walt's(350z) last run...where are you Chad??????

I love Z's

Chad's on G35driver.

Fowlman- your right AT gears would help out a lot I think. Will give me a few more mph and eliminate the 4th - 5th shift before the 1/4.

AlvinG- If you can get them to Chad somehow he can upload them to his server.

chad@cafreeman.com

We should do this again.
