Just curious which track gives better times, Infineon or Sac? I've heard mix reviews from people, but alot of people i've talked to say that they get better times at Sac. Weird because i would assume that Infineon is alot cooler than Sac.

Haven't been out to Infineon to compare, but if its cooler there and it should be better, but it also depends on the elevation.

The temps are hit or miss at Sears; but it's usually really hot there as well until the sun goes down. Overall, Sac is typically the "faster" track. Sears is slightly up hill, and there is always a strong head-wind.

Listen just before I take off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYkgW3vgFE4

Got there while it was hot as hell! Overall didn't do all that good, wasn't gripping like i shouldv'e . A lot of ****ty 60 Foots but best run was a 14.005 @102 with the mods in my sig even though i went earlier this year (March) and ran a 13.9@100 stock. We'll see what happens when it gets cooler

It was pretty hot that day. Sorry I could'nt at least make it to check out your Z. I was rolling in the wife's Scion all week but I got the Z back today and the key mark is gone.
