ZCG

 

Man don't you have some massages to give?

 

thanks for the vote of confidence Alvin, but I'm running on street tires and I still don't have this thing figured out yet. It winds up like a damn motorcycle, I'll be shifting twice before 60ft.

 

I'll be going tomorrow. Just watching though. Not sure if I'm going to meet you guys at ZCG or just going straight to the track.

 

Sounds good - come say hi, and if you're just watching, bring your camera and shoot some stills and vids! I may drive straight from work also - I'll have to see how my day unwinds after lunch.

 

I had just heard about it too!
Are you going to be able to make it? I doubt I'll hit my sub-11 tomorrow since I'll only get one shot at it. That'll have to wait for a slow day at Sac when the boss isn't around (no sidebar still).

Walt - don't forget about the fuse-pull deal. I think that helped Bruce to get his 60's down a bit. I feel bad for your street tires, but am anxious to at least see your trap speed!

 

Thanks for the heads up on the fuse, I have been doing that since 03. I can't burn out in my car unless I do that. I was getting 1.9's 60' before (N/A), but I don't think that will happen tonight with street tires. I haven't had much practice with this set up so if somone wants to get some good vids of a Z going sideways, tonight will probably provide some good photo ops.
I have 5 gallons of 101 octane in and am ready to go.

 

Derrr on my part. I forgot you had bee dragging the Z as NA. I was correlating new FI = new to dragging. The only n00b to dragging is Alvin. Hi Alvin! Hope to see you this afternoon!

 

no problem. I have pics of alvin dragging his Hong Kong knockoff Datsun. Even have a sound clip of the announcer at Infineon trying to pronounce his name. Oh and the one were he has his hat on sideways trying to look like he is from the hood.

 

How did it go?!!
any pictures/videos?

 

Yeah right! 1.9s 60's for you all night long, no? You are so consistent that it's sick. I mentioned to Rob that you should have changed your dial to 13.1 for the latter runs - you would have nailed it! Hope to see ya there again soon.

Forbes took some vids, but I don't know when they'll make the rounds. You are the best at getting pics/vids uploaded and posted quickly!

We got only 2 practice runs in, as a Honda barfed its insides on the track causing a near 90-minute delay. Walt made it to either the quarter of semi-finals, and was running solid 13.1s while being nice to his equipment (108mph trap?). EZ, with the Stage 2 axles already and TALL gearing from Tim Goodman's set-up was running low 13s at about 108 also. He made it to the 2nd round, but I think he broke out as his loss.

Forbes and Rob had car issues, and only got one warm-up run in.

I ran an 11.8 in my 2nd practice with a 0.05 RT. On my first qualifying run, I dialed 11.65, then ran 11.7 at 127mph, but red-lit after explaining to EZ when to go from the line - some coach I am. The truck that I was running against had a 3s head-start, which made for jitters at the starting line as he was already 300' out when I started.

I ran at the same parameters as the dynos you recorded, as I couldn't concentrate my fuel mixture enough to turn the wick all the way up.

We had a good time overall - you were sorely missed. Walt called your toy names.

 

I thought about changing to a 13.1 but I really wanted to run in the 12's. There is no doubt that it will run about 12.6 or so. I was shifting at 5k because of a rev limiter/tranny........ who knows what problem. It would stutter over 5k.

This is the picture I keep on the desktop of my work computer to remind me to have patience when I have to give up a 5 second headstart. Note the red light Scott.

Had a good time visiting with you guys and look forward to the next time.
Where the fark were you Alvin? I wanted to race you now that you have a real car.
