Some of us Gs are going to CA Speedway on Sat the 30th... it would be great to have some Z's with a need for speed join us! Trying to get some FXs to join as well – last time there was an FX45 and FX35 w/ Stillen SC…

If interested - here's the thread. Hope to see some of you there… We will be meeting in the parking lot just inside the main gate to the right…

GL the Huntington Beach meet is on the 30th

 

yep, I know... it's been mentioned in the thread I posted... But since Fontana only has Street Legal once every two months - and it's the only 1/4 mile track around, some of us won’t miss it.

If you're not into it, no prob... for those that want to see what your Z will do in a 1/4 mile, come on out - it's a good time!

 

I'm interested. I've been meaning to go to the track anyway!

 

is it going to be a track day?

 

I'll be there. I'm trying to get some DR mounted before then.

 

HB meet is on that day!!!

 

HB meet FTW!

 

Just added to the list, i'm definitely going to this. I need to find some DR soon, i'll have my test pipes on by that time.

 

Does anybody have a pair of Drag Radials I can borrow or buy off them?

 

dang I should of thought of that before I went and bought some brand new ones.

 

So what time are guys planning on showing up?

I'd rather go to this than the HB meet, but then again, you have to show up really early and get maybe three runs at most.

 

1/4 mile track FTW, If I didnt have work saturdays I'd go to this, haven't been there in almost 2 years.

 

I'm there. who wants to let me borrow their dr's for some $$$???

 

We'll share costs so it'll be cheaper. I just want to hit 12's and leave with a smile on my face .

 

^Do you already have mods on the '07? Are 12s with drag radials a realistic number for fontana.

Not sure about the old track, but I've been told the new one isn't that good in comparison. I was supposed to go back in January along with some buddies who were expecting really good times at this track. Most came away disappointed with the times. They had some modded M3s and 335s that were hitting low to mid 13s at best.

 

Not trying to burst your bubble, but I highly doubt you will hit 12's, even with DR's and lightly modified VQ35HR.

I wish I can say otherwise, but with our tracks over here in SoCal, I don't really see it as a realistic goal.

I'm sure its possible for a [almost] full bolt-on VQ35HR on Drag Radials over at those east coast tracks, especially the tracks in Maryland. But not here in Cali.

Just wondering: Have you raced in Cal Speedway before? It's levels above LACR in track conditions and preperation, but its still not an *ideal* track for drag racing. For California standards, Cal Speedway is the best of the best; but its only a mediocre track compared to others nationwide.

Goodluck. See you there!

ok you guys sound so know-it-all experienced with all this drag racing mumbo jumbo.....what preparation do you recommend a day at the track like this? 06 z, lightly modded, oem wheels/tires.

 

Make sure you're only on a 1/4 tank of gas. Lose any excesive weight- I always take off my spare tire & jacks. Avoid the waterbox, go around it and just spin the tires to clean them up (Not a burnout- just go around the box, rev it and dump the clutch- hit the brakes before you go past the line).

Other than that, its all experience.

.

 

we will probably be meeting by 6:00am (possibly earlier)... dsskyline (Derek) has DR's that he has said he might loan (priority might go to a G though, sorry)... follow the thread I linked to G35Driver for updates... if you guys start your own thing here, that’s cool - try to hook up with the Gs prior to inspection so we can group together.

See you there!

* BTW, I'm OCG35 on driver...
