Default Wed. Night Drags Vids/Pics!!!!

What a night! We left ZCG around 2pm with a caravan of 7 cars. Kurt and I were the only 350z and Sean(Corsair) was already at Infineon! It got chilly after 5pm, good for turbo cars! We got 3 practice runs in before elims. Left at 10:30pm!!!
I was hoping that Alex would show up to represent FI Z33's but he didn't come through

Highlights:
Scott got 2nd place overall in his Z32TT. Wicked fast car check this clip out:

This was my first time running the 350 and I ran a 14.3 at 97mph with passenger. I know I can do better next time.Got to do a burnout, never did one before!

Here is "dead-on Sean" doing a burnout...he is still running consistently:

An extra looong burnout from Scott:

There was a turbo with a DelSol around it

There was a white Supra TT there that ran something like a 15.2 @ 91... I think it had a cold, or was missing 2 spark plugs.

I saw it parked after elims -- it was a manual with an aftermarket front mount and what looked like a Greddy exhaust... lord knows what was wrong with it.

the guy was probably a bad driver since it was a manual cause the funny thing about the auto supra is that they hold boost better in between shifts so they actually get faster 1/4 mile times than the manuals
