PS. How do they determine who you race and when? Is there some kind of parking lot / staging area where people hang out waiting to go?
You pay your $20 and then they send you to a tech inspection line with a small form to fill out. they never even ask me to pop the hood.

Tell them you want to race in sport street class and you have a 6 cylinder engine. Also tell them you don't think you will turn under 14.000, ONLY IF THEY ASK.

They will tell you what line to get in. The lines are marked, but you can also tell by looking for cars with SPS in white on the windows. Look for all the Hondas etc.

Don't be afraid to ask them questions, there are always newcomers and they will be helpful.

I wish I could make it out with you guys.. I haven't been to the track since I burnt up my stock clutch on my celica... stock clutch + F/I = I really want to test out my Z!

I don't think I can get off work in time to get out there this week- too bad. Have fun, kick some butt everyone. Let's see some time slips with those smiley face stamps the girls in the booth use when you beat someone in eliminations!

I have only seen one woman in the booth and she calls me "smiley", becasue she says I never smile.
Hmmmmm.....might be because I'm trying to figure out how to get some traction.

I like her outfits

Everytime I go there are usually two girls working in time slip booth. I don't like one of them.. she always says something like, "Watch your reaction time, sweetie" if I lose an elimination round. Even when my R/T was better than the person I was racing!

I want to run her and that crummy little booth over sometimes Just kidding..I think

It must be the same one. she has said to mention a very few "you would have had a 13 if you weren't asleep at the lights" That was my first run with the Z, but now that I know that the sooner you get going the better your ET will be???

During time trials. "you red lighted, the fans really like that during time trials". (should have turned a 12??)

FarSeide....I will be there as close to 3 as I can. I stop up in the parking lot after paying for entry before tech to let air out of my tires.

Black Z, Euro type wheels, lowered and most distinctive of all..old guy

What time does it start ? I will be there between 3:30 - 4PM on Wed.

Not trying to sound stupid but why take air out of tires ? Better traction ? Sorry for dumb question.

I'll be there! Meet you guys at the track at about 3:30-4:00 (depending on how long it takes me to get up there).

We could all line up in the same line and then we don't have to race each other until the eliminations. At some point we will end up racing each other, unless we get beat of course.

I forget where you are, but Infineon is close to the bay, so it should be a little cooler there than the average. You will have fun!
