Sac Raceway 9/14, who's down?
 
Well, as posted in another thread, some of us Sac 350's were thinkin about having a pre-RR/TI meet. Others expressed that they wanted to "run what they brung" out at Sac Raceway. So...BigBri/cquence, why not bring your Z's out this Wednesday and see what those TT's can do? As for the rest of us n/a Z's, lets post some 13's!

I gotta work this wed. so I dont think I will be able to make it. Plus my motor is not broken in yet, so I wouldn't want to really mash on it. Good luck though!

I would be there but i'm going to Infinion with a bunch of the others this Wed. 9/14 as part of the ZCG Drag Series. You can find me at sac on the other Wednesday Nights when Infineon is not running.

I'm probably going to be going on wendesday, I want to try to hit a 14.2, my last run was a 14.4 when I was stock, I want to work on my reaction times too, so hopefully, I'll be going this wendesday.

bigbri Sep 11, 2005 03:34 PM

I'll be down to go....I'm getting my car back mon or tues... so I'm down.. let's get some more people to go...

MATTRESS MAN Sep 11, 2005 04:41 PM

My buddy and I will be there. He's got a silver Z with i/e and runs 14.3's. I have the ss with i/e/clutch and hope to run 13.7 or better! Hey corsair, I go to Sac quite frequently...what does your car look like?

Also, at the track, do reaction times hurt your 1/4 times? Because the last time I went, I ran 14.4 with a .7 reaction time...

I dont think it hurts your 1/4 time. I think the time starts when your front bumper reaches the radar. Correct me if I am wrong.

MATTRESS MAN Sep 11, 2005 05:12 PM

Correct. Reaction times DO NOT affect your quarter times when bracket racing. Sometimes I don't even pay attention to the tree because I just want to run as quick as possible, so I'll get a 1 sec reaction time! Always go on the third yellow light though!

Correct. Reaction time has nothing to do with your elapsed time. Reaction time can lose the race for you though. Winning reaction times can make up for speed etc. One of the winningest cars at Infineon has a dial in of 19.95 and traps 65mph. He is very good at figuring out his dial in time. Last time I raced him he hit 19.94 (1/100th off dial in) and his reaction time was .007 off perfect.
My reaction time was .035 off perfect and that would normally win you a race.

Good reaction time are from .050 down.....needs to have a 0 after the decimal point.

That's funny, there's a Hyundai sedan out at Sac that always runs in the "special" lane (the lane designated for winning cars) because he cuts great reaction times combined with super consitent runs.

Thats what wins in bracket racing.

I wanna go run at SAC again soon. Unfortunately I am already going to the Infineon track this wed. Maybe another Saturday would be good. Good luck on your times.

Bruce and Sean let me know if you go up on a Saturday. I need some runs to check out my shift points.

sigsauer87 Sep 14, 2005 02:39 AM
