13's NA again!! This time with my 18's, 1/2 tank of gas and full interior!
Well today I made a trip out to go see Paul @ Avalon racing to swap a part(thanks again Paul!). While I was in the area I decided what the hey.. I'm gonna go to NED! Well with that in mind I showed up at the drag strip with my car in full street condition. That included all my seats, my spare, 1/2 tank of gas and most notably my 18' rims, I had a nother 20 pounds of junk in the car! The weather at the time of my run was 42 F and 80-90% humidity. Heres my best time of the night broken down..
R/T ... .350
60' ... 2.242
330 ... 5.996
1/8 ... 9.070
MPH ... 81.55
1000 .. 11.717
1/4 ... 13.963
MPH ... 100.28
Myself and others where once again amazed by how my maxima did! I was shocked when I got yelled at for not wearing a helemt, lol. I was like WTF? I hit 13's like this! Well hell ya, I promised the guy I would slow it down
My 245/40/18 Kumho Supras where extremly un-predictable in this cold, cold weather(went down to 31F). Launching the car took quite a bit of skill otehr wise all hell would break loose! My times of the night where as follows(in order) 14.66, 13.96, 14.67, 14.14, 14.16, 14.42, 14.83, 14.15.
Another notable run was when I did a 2.402 60' and still pulled off a 14.166 @ 100.43 MPH. Ohh and my best MPH of the night was 100.46 MPH.
In closing it was a great year of drag racing(my first), I have really improved a great deal in my driving ability on and off the street. I started out with all my mods minus my UDP and Y-pipe(same conditions) and only managed a best of 14.6.. With a bit of practice and a few mods I shaved off a cool .8 seconds

They are by 1 lb. But the weight savings is killed by the extra rolling intertia and the diffuclty to launch.. These wheels/tires are incredibly hard to launch at any time and then when it's cold out it's almost impossible to do. All my 60's where 2.4's except the one on my 13.9 run
BugNout, Front tires where at 23 PSI and the rears where at 42
On that launch I went to take off and saw that I red lighted, then I kinda let off and then floored it. It was a real weird launch, I wish I know what I did exactly because it sure did work well.

How do you normally launch?
PS I've meet Paul from Avalon a few times at different events. Did he get his new 350z yet?

Were you running w/ a passenger or alone? I assume alone, but am curious how much of a difference another 160 or so lbs really makes. I'm going to the track tomorrow and the guys that are coming with me don't want to be outside in the cold.
wussies.
wussies.

Even at 31F, my car wouldn't run 13s at Kansas City International Raceway. Elevation and track conditions just aren't that great.
