Default Gauging interest.......

i plan on taking the coupe out to HRP on the 18th to get some concrete numbers on how bad of a driver i am. Rob Nance mentioned that he would be interested in going. so i was wondering if anyone else is down to get out there. spring is here so this will be a good time to run before it gets too hot and slick........ie good ETs. so let me know. the information can be obtained here . just click on the 18th. let me know.....

As mentioned, I am in. I'm not a big dragstrip guy, but I have to admit, it's a lot of fun, and CHEAP. This was why a bunch of friends took our bikes to the dragstrip every weekend for about half a year almost. It's fun, and cheap.

You might want to consider going to San Antonio Raceway instead. It is a lot closer and a much nicer track. They have test and tune on Wednesday and Friday nights.

Check out their website for more information.

They also have a monthly import race that some of us attend. This month it is on the 11th. You can check out our events page on the Capital Z of Texas website .

RiverCity raceway is a nice track. If you guys head out there I would definately head out there to watch you guys. Be cool to see some Z's in action!

If I have 1200 miles by the 18th, then you can count on seeing me there.

I'm at 270 now and I have had the car for exactly one week.

Hey Guys, I am planning on going tonight to Rivercity Raceway tonight. Who is showing up? I plan on being there around 6ish with a friend of mine. I've never run my Z on the Drag strip, still stock, just looking to have fun.
