Default Texas Motorplex - June 23rd, 2006

Alright, well seeing how there was no "official" thread on my350z.com about this, I decided to start one.

The members of 350ZOS started this and here's the link, if you want to read what they're saying about it.

It will be at Texas Motorplex, located at Ennis. The doors open at 6 PM and they're open until 12 AM. It'll be 15 (I think) to race and 10 (to spectate). You don't have to race, as there will also be a car show going on there. So, I'm guessing it's going to be fun whether you race or not. I think Texas Motorplex usually has american cars (camaros, vette, stang, cobra, etc), so it'll be cool to see many Z's show up.

So far 8 people from 350ZOS is going to be there plus me.
1. Acree [350ZOS]
2. Llare [350ZOS]
3. Randall [350ZOS]
4. MesquiteZ [350ZOS]
5. RBALDINELLII [350ZOS]
6. CR8Z1 [350ZOS]
7. Theeggman / Robert [350ZOS]
8. Desibhar_z [350ZOS]

RBALDINELLII - Where did you see that I went to a track? You stalkin me o.O? Haha, JK. Those times were so sh1tty, it almost made me cry. 14.021 @ 101.39.... but that was on a day with high 90s throughout (low 90s at night) with high humidity. I think my heavy rims are also to blame. We'll see if things are better this Friday.

Hahaha, aren't they FI? I know you're kidding. I went to Texas Motorplex on June 9th just to see what I would run.. and so that I wouldn't embarass myself this friday. After that day, I was definitely hooked for life! Going to the drag strip was definitely one of the more fun things I've done this summer.

Hopefully, this Friday's weather isn't as hot or as humid as last time I went. That was horrible.

Trust me on this one, we all suck when it comes to drag racing. I've been bear down twice, once by a Z with slicks and by one with N2O. They didn't have any issues with traction unlike myself. I was everywhere. It was crazy, but like you said, that was the most fun. I laughed all the way down the track.

I'm kind of disappointed that the people that said were going to come didn't show up. As for the ones that DID show up, they were real cool people and I think we had fun.

I actually got my best 1/4 time and trap speed last night. The others weren't doing as well, due to their own problems or condition I guess. I'll let others chime in if they want.


edit - My best was 13.8 @ 102 with a 60' of 2.0. That was my first of the night. I backed that up later that night with a 13.9 @ 102 with a 60' of 2.1. So happy right now.

I was running consistent 14.0s @ 100+. Even with a 4th gear misshift, skipping it and going to 5th I still pulled 14.2s @ 95.

My friend and I swapped cars (he drives a JDM H22 prelude) and I bested his best time my first time driving his car. My 2nd run with his car still beat his best. He only pulled mid to high 15s on my car.

Baytown? Where's that? If it's not too far, I might try to go. Texas Motorplex is already pretty far from where I live, as it is a 80 minute drive + evening traffic in Dallas (during high traffic is when they open).
