My clutch didn't give out but it was slipping and not engaging the entire way down. I didn't want to risk blowing it and not being able to drive home. Time for a new clutch and some more practice.
I have some pics and some good vids i'll upload over the next couple of days.

I have run a lot of 12's, just didn't do it last night......or are you talking about that shell of a Z you were driving last night? Maybe you should drill a bunch of holes in it to make it even lighter. Best with street tires is 12.7 at Infineon. It is strange that you can run faster at Sacto since it is hot and the track prep is crappy. I haven't run the Z there with the Vortech yet. Maybe I will go up before it is too hot to set my personal Z car record .

Yeah, I was consistently ~.15s faster at Sac with the 300 until one cool night at Sears when I hit the same 11.2x and got eliminated (and kicked out for faster than 11.5). I like that you don't get that wobbly feeling with the drag radials at only 100mph in the 350; the 300 wobbles like a **** at 130mph.

Here are some pics from the event. I thought I took more pics but I guess not.
Rob in his 370
Fred (one of Zcar's mechanc) in his Mini and Walt in his SC 350Z
Entrance to infineon
The queue to sign the waver and what not.
Couple of pics of the crew waiting around for their turn down the strip
Josh's bug (another one of Zcar's mechanic)
