What did you run? How do yesterday's runs compare to your previous runs before the mods and dyno? How crowded was it, and how far did you get in the eliminations? What 60' and time did you get?

3mph and went from 13.94 to 13.70 I feel I can get my 60ft to ATLEAST 2.0, I wanna run like 13.4 or better on stock gears and I'll be content. It was slowing me down having to go from 3rd to 4th, I feel like if I was able to leave it in 3rd I'd trap higher.

The Wednesday Night Drags program will run most every Wednesday evening from March 9 - Nov. 16. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. and racing spans from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. Cost is $25 for competitors ($15 with valid high school ID) and $10 for spectators. Season-long passes are also available.

Wednesday Night Drags will NOT run on the following dates:
June 22, 2011
July 20, 2011
July 27, 2011
August 17, 2011
August 24, 2011

The complete rules are here (http://www.infineonraceway.com/docum...RDragRules.pdf), but here are the cliffnotes:

- Passengers allowed in cars slower than 13.99s
- Snell 2000 helmets required for vehicles running faster than 14.00s, as well as full length pants

I'm in the process of getting a drag-legal cage for my Z so that I can run it at Wed night drags at full boost.
You now need a Snell SA2005 or higher. Infinion will not let you use a motorcycle helmet. MA2005. Ran last Weds. Ran a bunch of 13.1's and 13.0's on stock 19" tires. There were three 350's out there running 14's.

13.14 I slammed on the brakes cuz I had him by 10 cars and last run I fouled, so I played with the shift points...still pretty consistent for an old guy.
I don't think I can go tomorrow, but if you guys are coming up, let me know and I will try to make it. Showers are scheduled for tomorrow though.
