Z Car Garage Drag Racing Series resumes again for 2010. Win a pair of drag radials!
The Z Car Garage Drag Racing Series returns for 2010. Rob from Z Car Garage (www.zcargarage.com) is hosting a drag competition for all-years of Zs, Gs, and Datsuns at Infineon Raceway. Come join us for a few nights of fun and Z-ing "in a straight line". Walt (Fowlman) won the last series in his supercharged 350Z. There will be one event per month starting April 7th and continuing through November 11th assuming the weather cooperates with us.
Generally, the Wednesday Night Drags events are held at Sears Point Raceway on most Wednesday nights during the year. The gates open at 3:30 and racing is from 5-10pm. One typically gets a few practice (non-competitive) runs in before the racing starts assuming you get there early. All the information you need about the track and racing itself is located here: http://www.infineonraceway.com/racew...y_night_drags/
Prizes!
1st Place: One Pair of New BF Goodrich Drag Radials courtesy of Z Car Garage
2nd Place: $100.00 Gift Certificate at Z Car Garage
Points:
Sears Point Wednesday events are bracket racing. If you show up early, each driver gets 4 or 5 practice runs before the sessions begin. This is a competition of skill, not of speed, so come show off even if you're SLOW!
1 point: Once the sessions begin, each time you advance
(Sears Point staff puts a smiley face on your slip), you get one point. The goal is to NOT run against each other until absolutely necessary (i.e. everyone stages in the same lane until the final brackets)
3 points: Runner-up (loss in the finals) - trophy awarded
5 points: Winner of class - trophy awarded
Points are only valid on the dates ZCG goes to Infineon (4/7, May, June, July, August, September, October, possibly November). I'll update this post as we set the dates for future months.
All competitors must sign waiver @ Zcargarage before entering competition (or sign at track and give/mail to Rob).
I believe Rob at ZCG is shooting for 7 April as the first event in the series, but stay tuned here, and join your fellow Datsun and Nissan enthusiasts for some friendly, safe, and legal racing!

Sweet! See you there! Take note of their new rules - any car faster than 12.00 needs a roll bar, FIA gloves and jacket, and harness. Last year it was 11.50, but they've gone more conservative now. In previous years, I've run my 300 easy until the last run, then turned up the wick and was pleasantly asked to leave. I'll be taking the 350 this year for sure!

I'll be there. Sorry to see that they went back to 12.00 for roll cage etc. They just lowered it to 11.5 a couple years ago. Another new rule is that they require a fire jacket if you have an aftermarket F/I setup. (turbo, supercharger or NOS). I need to go to ZCG and get a tune.

Bite the bullet and get an Osiris from Rob. I'm in the process of it now myself, searching for those 12s N/A.

I assume you guys up near the track already will just meet us there. Otherwise meet at ZCG at 1:30pm for departure towards the track. ZCG is closing shop for this event, so will be taking a bunch of cars. It should be a good day for people to drive their cars rather than stand around and stare at them.
