Now that I finially have everything working, I made the trip to the track for the final day of the season.

All times are with a 70 shot NOS dry kit, with Nitto Drag Radials on 300zx rims.

I was on a quest for high 13's today.

First run I had a really bad launch. Got a 60' time of 2.308. In addition I missed the shift into 4th. Ended up with a 14.129@97.64. I figured if I did everything right, 13's would be easy.

Little did I know that I would procede to f-up every other run that I got. Either I screwed up the launch (2.5 60's) or I'd miss a shift, or (my personal favorite) I'd forget to activate the damn nitrous system. . Because it was SO cold (34*), launching a pain in the azz. I never sprayed in first gear, because I knew I just wouldn't get any traction.

So, last run of the day I actcually do every right, and thought I had done it. Come to find out that I ran a 14.07@98.17. Got out of the car and looked, and sure enough my bottle pressure during that run had dropped from 1000psi to about 600psi or so. I was out of juice. The run just didn't feel as strong at the top end as the others I had done, so I knew something wasn't right.

Oh well. So ends a nother season of drag racing. Next year I'll be back with slicks, and more power one way or the other.

 

i was out of hte loop.. what was the problem?

nice times

 

Clogged nitrous filter.

How in the world did you miss a post? I thought you read every one.

 

oh but he does read everyone...nice times none the less

 

 

Not bad Ejj....you're about in the same situation I was in last year...I couldn't get into the 13s if my life depended on it. I ran 14.04@99 on a 50-shot....if you hadn't missed a gear when you had a full bottle you should have trapped over 100mph since you have a 70-shot. :P

 

300ZX rims. nice choice.
cheap, light, and dependable.

(the same does not apply to NOS)

I personally run 15s and reaching 14 will be a goal for next year. Maybe nos...yes. maybe. good job.

 

They, along with the drag radials will be for sale soon if you're interested.

 

You getting slicks dude???

 

Yup.

 

Nice times

and a little more practice with the N02 you should be hitting the numbers you want

 

Niiiiiiiice

 

N2O, NO2 is nitrogen dioxide, N2O is nitrous oxide.

 

damn key board..who moved those keys
