I might go. I was there last Weds and I thought I heard them say something about one Weds this month they will NOT be running. If they are the 14th let me know and I will go. You can run in either the street class (lots of V8's) or the street sport. (imports, no V8's) I usually like to race in the street class, but let me know what class, time etc. and I will be there.

If you can get there by 3 you get 2-4 runs before eliminations at 5. 5pm approx. is when you put your dial in on and start eliminations, so you get at least one more run and several more if everything is going well. They run until 10pm.

I will go too. I'll check to see if they are running that night. as I said, I thought they said something about one Weds this month is canceled.

I will be in a black Z w/bling, bling wheels. there has never been more than 2 Z's there at one time and usually it is just me. Do you know what kind of cars you want to race? You have the pick of two classes.
If you can get a good launch you should hit low 14's. c ya Walt

Probably mine. I work at SSU in RP. Mostly go up and down Pet Hill Rd. It has the aero kit and borla exhaust. I flash my lights when I see another Z. I don't see too many Z's for some reason.

The class you will want to run in is: sport street. they will ask you at tech check in. You should be able to beat most of the cars in that class. look out for the 2 vw bugs and the STI's though. Also a fast maxima and a jag sedan.
I will run in that class too then. I have friends running in both classes.

see ya Weds. Walt

If its your first time its not really that hard to do it. Just go to infineon its 20 to race 10 to observe. They will tell you were to go at the gate if you ask. Its the first right after the racing school and you go down by that sound wall and they have techs down there that check your car and put you in your class. You should go in sport street thats what im gonna do anyway. Then you just go line up with the other cars in your class and wait for your run. Im sure you know how a christmas tree works. Its alot of fun and there are uslaly some cool people out there.


Walt, Ive seen your car abunch of times in rp. I just got my Z about 2 weeks ago I had a silver civic Si with black volk te37s and I would always look at your car becuase its so nice. Finally got a Z of my own and im stoked. Anyway its good to see another Z owner in my area on this message board. Ill see you on wednesday though man! Take it easy!

Josh

Hi,
I will be coming from Santa Rosa. I usually try to get there by 3 or so. The fee to race is $20.00. $12.00 or so to watch.
It would be nice to have a few Z's there, especially if we do well.

Josh, was that you I saw tonight at 4:30 RP Ex & Pet Hill? That is my "dragstrip" when I leave work. I like my 5AT remembering that I want it to shift fast. (love that g force feeling) It is also the only strech where you dont' have to worry about the radar cops.

Watch for a Chrome Silver Z(me) and a Mini Cooper S (my friend). Come up and say Hello, it will be my first time at the track.
