Kevin

 

Can you go and just watch if your are too wussy to hit the track like me???

 

Kevin, I was going to go up for the night session on Weds. for some more practice as I got rained out Friday night, but I know have a guy scheduled to come and give me a bid on a concrete patio I am having done. Sorry, but I will miss this one.

If you want to wait, I was going to try and plan a test night for some of the guys here if you are interested sometime later this summer.

Ck the web link, but I think spectators are free!

 

Kevin I would be there running if I could! Be safe and best off luck to you and everyone racing!

 

Oh MAN how much fun was this !! This was my first time to the track, I had so much fun!! Thanks to the boys from Boulder Nissan, Erick had to ride btch with me the first run to coach me along. I sure can give you a BIG rush riping down that strip.
Good to see Benitzo there... FAST!
We need to get more Zs next time, soon!

 

Thought you had been to Bandi before??? Glad you had a great time! What were you times? We're you killing Evos & STis? Hope so a lot of them talk shyt. We need to get you on a road course or autocross. So much more fun and it doesn't last only a couple seconds.

 

Damn, I wish I would have known. I live so close to Bandimere and would to have seen that Vortex kick!

 

saw that post w/ the boulder guys running their Z in the 10's... dyam!

where's my rewind button damnit I just saw this thread today ugh...

 

Come up anytime I am there alot. Theres a real cool class that if you wanted to race in starts at the end of the month. It's on about 5 different Saturdays from now till Sept. so it won't take much of your time.

If you are interested in the competitive side of drag racing let me know and I will give you more details.

Mudd

 

Here is one of my track times, I got the honer of getting my already humble azz kicked by Boulder Nissan's Z Can you guess which lane I was in?

 

Looks like you need some pratice Kevin. LOL Its all good. My 1st run ever in my Evo was like a 16's and I could never break 14.5 up here (6k+ feet). Get that 60' down and you'll be a lot faster.

 

I think that says a 2.28 60ft? Picture is small.
If thats right I do that in my stock Z. Kevin, if you get that down your ET will increase alot. It just takes practice and getting used to launching the car. You will get it!!!

Mudd

 

Mudd, I'm new to the Z sceen and very interested in getting into drag racing. Could you give us some more details on the class?

Eric

 

Here are links to the two classes I race in. These will kind of tell you what the classes are all about. There are many other classes/events that you can race in as well. If you have any questions just ask them of me as that would probably be much easier.

Thanks Mudd. It looks like I've missed the start of both. Do you think it would be worth it for me to try to participate in one of the events or just come to a test and tune night to get my feet wet? Like I said before I've never dragged on a real track so I'm not sure what all is involved.

You still up in Brighton? I'm in Ft Lupton so maybe we could roll to Bandimere together one of these days.

Eric

 

Yes I am in Brighton still. If you wanted to head there together, thats great, but I usually take my car to work in the morning on race nights because I work about 20 mins from the track. That way I don't have to drive all the way back to Brighton to pick up my car and then drive all the way to Morrison again. I would drive back up this way with you though after a night of racing.

I think your best bet is to hit some test and Tunes to start. If you really like it then you can enter some events this year just to get the hang of it more with the goal of competing next year for points and racing the whole summer. That would be what I would suggest.
Just let me know when you might be thinking of going for a test & tune and I will see if I can make it. They are on almost any Weds night. Maybe we can drag some others out there as well.

Mudd

 

That sounds good. I'll post something here when I figure out a date that will work. Thanks for the advice.

I was at a "bug in" this weekend and was watching the races. Man I am gonna go on a Wednesday night sometime soon. I have never been before so have no idea what I am doing so welcome all newbies! I read on their site you don't need to wear a helmet if your car runs 14 or second 1/4 mile. Anyone down to join me any Wednesday...COME ON!!!!! Will? Kevin? anyone?!

 

I'm interested, still haven't been yet myself, stupid jobs with all thier work....I think I can talk a couple others into going as well. Let me know when your thinking.
