Stu wins my internetz for the day.
Yeah, but after 4-5 years of Z members not showing, I kind of stopped believing you guys. Glad you're stepping up. It'll be fun. Take pics and vids, please.

BTW, is that your way of calling me a ricer?
Things you NEED:
- Snell 95 or higher helmet (for 13.99 or faster down the 1/4 mile) -- no loaners available at Dallas Raceway
- long pants
- closed toe shoes
- money (for admission, usually $15-25 on TT days)
- food / drink (they have concession stands, but expensive)
- pen / pencil (for tech/inspection and to record your methods.. if you want to improve)
- air pump (you'll need to drop the rear pressure a bit and bring up the fronts if you want to be faster )


Also, keep in mind that you CANNOT use the AC. So, if you plan on racing, turn off your AC well before you even think about staging (due to condensation). If there's water on the staging pad, the serious drag racers with slicks will murder you (assuming they survive the crash you'll have caused). You'll also get kicked out if they see your car tinkling on the track.


Nexx, if you lose to a N/A Z, I'm personally taking your car away from you. Let me know when you want me to get you a clean pass down the 1320'. BTW, Jason, if you run 11s, you'll be kicked out (need a cage and fire jacket, I think). Take it easy the first 5 - 10 passes to get a feel for it. Make sure you understand how your car behaves and what you need to do during a launch. Even when you think you're ready, don't overdo it (being overconfident about yourself and/or overcompensating is best way to f*ck up a launch). Just gradually increase the launch RPM in increments of 250 or so and you'll start seeing noticeable changes (both good and bad). That means your clutch/accel work needs to be smoother, too, so pay attention to that. And don't forget to preload your drivetrain. You have a lot of power so you can potentially break half the **** on your car with 1 launch if you don't know what you're doing.

Haha nah, that was hilarious I wish I would've stayed longer but I didn't know if you guys were going to the meet afterwards.

3hree5ive0ero,

I tried to tell them to cool it !


I don't think they can drive in a straight line !

Were not A$$holes for going after you leave....It's just that, you left before you could go Drag racing after you were leaving !
But you taught me a lot Chris...I will always be thankful for your experience. I wish you could make it.....it would be much more enjoyable with you there........sorry man.


I am Down with you Nexx.....as long as I don't have anybody in town visiting. That is my only thing that could keep me away.

umm I'd rather not say lol
I got the car up on 6 ton suv jack stands but I definately shouldve taken it higher. (I didn't raise them all the way)
ended up having some interesting issues like whoever put the last flywheel in didn't use Nissan flywheel bolts so I had to go to two different stealerships to buy them. Ended up not finishing fast enough before I had to go back to work so I'm just about done now. I just have to bolt up the exhaust and the interior around the shifter. It's sad cuz I did my buddies clutch in his 240 like two months ago in four hours and that was including taking the time to resurface his flywheel.
