Thought i would throw this out to you guys. Im heading up to Sacramento Drags on Saturday 7/7/07 with a big group of cars anyone who wants to join the caravan or meet us up there is more than welcome.

 

What time? Is this just open drags?

Their website indicates:

as well as:

#6 sucks, I was hoping that Sac didn't impose that rule.

 

I wanna try my bike, but isnt there UFC on? Cant miss that **** haha....

 

I think i might go. Im in stockton so. I dont think im gonna run my car thou. I need new tires if im gonna put it on the track. But im gonna go to see if there are other z,s there.

 

So it's just free runs throughout the night? No bracket racing or anything? Adam, you got pm

 

this was ridiculous. i probably got like 20+ runs in...
i even sat out for a long time

it was fun racing derek, ill post a vid later

 

i'm so pissed that i forgot to put on my fuel filler cap i figure that's why my times got slower as my fuel levels dropped, which i'm guessing meant lower fuel pressures

i cant wait to get some decent tires on and go again (with a gas cap on)

anyway, it was fun for my first time at the drags

 

time slips please

 

How were the temps? Did it cool much after 7/8pm? I'm trying to get a group for the August or September Grudgefest... my car needs a diff first.

 

it was sooo friggin hot. i think it was close to 100 degrees in the day and only around 8 pm did it start to cool. At about 9:30 it was fairly cool maybe low 70's

 

Did you guys take any pics???

 

lol, i think i have one or two on my dslr, but didnt really take any pics...

heres one of derek ballin' in his tt supra

 

what a horrible and odd picture of me wearing a shirt with a 350z on it with adam's girl in the passenger seat of my car

 

Good info. So how did the Soup and the 350s run? Any fast cars out there? How was the track prep? I haven't been to Sac in years, but I'd like a night of open runs to dial the car in.
