mrtomcat,igottaz, and my self went to california speedway today to try and break some personal bests at this particular track. We all ran our best times today. Mrtomcat ran a 12.100, igottaz ran a 12.8 I think was his best and I ran a 12.9 which was my best at cali speedway.( all you guy down south please we are at a high altitude) mrtomcat has an APS tt 350 z with a 6mt. Igottaz has greddy tt 350z with a 6mt. I caucasaincoupe have stillen stage 2 g35 with a 6mt. we had a great time we raced dodge vipers and many very fast cars. We did represent well for all in my350z.com and g35driver.com. I have many videos I will post once I get them loaded.

It was a fun day, IGOTTAZ actually hit two 12.7's today.

and yes I had a few booboo runs just in case the videos show up I guess I need to be preemptive...I misssed 4rth in one run and just coasted out in neutral and did a 13.1 giving caucasioncoupe a well deserved victory over me. And I stalled the car before a run and that turned on my TDC again which I didn't notice and so I did a glorious 14.4 while trying to turn it off during the run...so there you have it

best run was 12.100 and I'm happy with that one....what a tease though

its all in fun. I would never put a bad time on. Like that 13.8 I ran yesterday when I missed gear #2. NExt time you will be in the 11's and I'll post that vid. I hope to someday go stage 3 or stage 4 so i can get low 12's. pretty dam good time if you ask me. when your dealing with that much power with a 6mt and you run 20 passes like we did yesterday and only 2 of them have errors and you still run 13.0 1/4 mile. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

yup thats Dale,

altenativemotoring was the name of the event holder and it was 100.00 dollars limited to 85 cars. it was awesome could have ran 100 times if I wanted to smash my car all day. but I held it to 15.

What tires are you running and how much RWHP does your stillen make? Do you have headers on the car? It looks like you are running slicks to get those 60 ft times.
What rpm did you launch the car at? Great times. Pm. as I am working on my stillen SC and will pass on my notes on my updated SC. 13.0 @ 104.7 untuned car. 5AT. toyo tires.

Thumbs up Hey, nice videos, thanks for posting them so quickly.

Hey, nice videos, thanks for posting them so quickly.

I actually ran three 12.7's before the day was over. I ran a 12.78 with yet another 2.00+ sec 60' time for my last run. My fastest time was a 12.72 with a trap speed of 113.53 mph. This is good because my last best time was a 12.85 with a 114 mph trap speed. Here is the video:

Thanks to caucasiancoupe for letting me borrow his camera, after discovering that I had low-to-no battery and no charger for my camera.

That's life...I live where I live. Maybe someday, but for now I'll just take a 5 hour cruise in my Titan.

Those were good runs, BTW.
