Anybody drag their maxima at LACR??

It's a slow crappy track but was just curious
if anybody with 02/03 or 04/05 Maxima's
have run there?

If so, what kind of times did you get?
Interested in cars that are either stock or lightly (intake or exhaust) modified.

thanks

Well, it's not "way too high" it's 2710 feet.
But it's just crappy. Has a slightly incline for the first 1000 feet,
is pretty slippery at the launch AND down the first 1/8th, and
there's almost ALWAYS a head wind of 10-15 mph sometimes more.

But if you live anywhere in the northern LA area, it's the only track
that's "reasonably" close.

California Speedway is too far away for me and it's usually packed.

LACR is only 30 minute drive (I live in the northern LA area).

It's all relative...you SURELY cannot compare times at LACR with California Speedway
or any other good track for that matter.
LACR is much slower. Most people in 13-15 second cars run about .7-.8 seconds on average slower at LACR than they will at California Speedway.

To give you an idea, I've seen several stock 350Z's run at LACR and
they get around 14.6-14.8 @ 93-94 mph.

Stock STI and EVO's run
13.6-13.9 @ 96-97 mph at best and have seen MANY run in the low 14's @ 94+ mph

Stock 04/05 SRT-4's run 14.5-14.8 @ 94-95 mph

The best time for an Altima SE there (that I've seen, which is only 3 cars) was a
15.1 @ 91-92 but most of there runs were more like 15.3-15.5's
Have never seen a 02 or newer Maxima run up there, that's why I was asking
here.
