constantly getting 13.7 but managed get 2.08 60ft pretty happy with that best ever 60ft at sac was 2.13 but overall fun exp and it nice meet all you guy

 

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.

 

Good job! I remember your friend saying you ran 13.5 at Sac, so you're seeing a 0.2s difference between the two tracks between your best times at each track? Sac has always seemed to be faster, though not true with my 300 after running on a cool night at Sears/Infineon (and only hot days at Sac).

Sweet! Looking forward to the pics and vids!

 

I have found Sacto to be 2-4 tenths faster even with the heat. There was a silver Z there last night with a 12.5 dial in. I didn't see him run, but i think he was eliminated the first round

Glad you got home alright Gabe.

 

Saw him ran had good launch from what I saw seem everytime hit the top gear sound like engine sputter he might be hiiting fuel cut or something

 

2-4 tenths! That 12s pass (sans airplane) may be possible after all, eh?

 

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 .

 

Yes, I'm talking about my semi-gutted 350z track car, you ball buster.

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.

 

maybe we could do a drag day up there, just to see who can improve their best times. I might put on my 17" street tires and see what I can turn.

 

if you guy ever do pm let me know

 

Will do. So I don't think you answered about what your best time at Sac was to compare to your 13.7 last night? ?

 

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

Couple of pics of the crew waiting around for their turn down the strip






Josh's bug (another one of Zcar's mechanic)

 

Thanks for the pics Gabe.

 

Good times, wish I could have made it but I had to work.

 

Best time @ sac was 13.5 with not best weather condition 45-52 degree but hopefully after rob tune my car shooting atleast make top 25 list
