Well I was glad to see 3 other Nissan's showed this year..another '04 350 and two '09 GT-R's..along with two new ZR1's and the regular gallardo etc etc..

I had a blast and ran the southbound leg at an average speed of 125.89 MPH, top speed being my tech of 140 mph...I don't like the way the car handles at 140 and will DEFINITELY be in the market for a front lip/splitter and a spoiler/ wing for the rear. It feels REAL light at 140!

I do absolutely LOVE the bfg kdw's I bought and put on the car..they stick like glue and am very happy. I wanted the r888's but they don't make them in my size..bummer.

So long story short...I placed this year! and brought home a third place trophy! After driving the south leg I was 28 seconds fast..I recalculated that with the 28.32 it takes to drive 59 miles at 125mph. and set up for the northbound run...I crossed the finish @ 138mph and hit the stop button...I couldn't believe after looking at the timer it read 00.00!!!!!
Final time was +1.3 SECONDS!!!! unbelievable...and what's crazy is that was 3rd place in that class! 1st was .372- 2nd was .723+ and I was 1.3 sec.

It was a blast, I actually caught and passed the car in front of me at nearly 140 in the straight and have awesome video of it..there were two cameras on my car this year and after its all edited I'll post it..

Hey RED RIDER,

Nice driving indeed !

I would love to do that next year...I'll keep an eye out for it.

I know exactly what you mean about the back end getting light when you are above 120 mph.....I hear some of these guys say that the car is way light when it gets going that fast with out a wing. I have never felt the car get that light with my wing on and I've been up to 145 mph.

BTW....I have a JDM Nismo wing for sale....its Blk and in great shape.

You only need 4 points to mount it. Jason can tell you what kind of shape its in because he helped me install my CF wing.

If your interested the PM me for pics and price.

 

very cool. I'm hoping to to this one of these days. Did you follow the Nevada ORR last week? apparently someone had a retired NASCAR stock car in the open class...blew a tire at around 200mph and rolled it!
