Who are you looking forward to racing at MAXUS 2004 "the 1/4 mile shootout" ?

In case you have been locked in your trunk , this Sept. on the 11th. There will be a Maxima Superbowl of sorts hosting many of the fast maximas here at the org, along with other Nissan members from NICO and other forum boards !

But what im wondering is who is looking forward to racing who in the Maxima world or who do org members want to see battle it out ?

Its all going down September 11th, 2004 at Beechbend Dragway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. If you want to see what you got against some of the org's finest then make sure you check out the to links below to get yo-self caught up to speed !

Link 1 - Check it out here
Link 2 - Information and Sign in Page

I got to wondering what this track was all about and found a few videos recorded at Beechbend. Check those out below !

Video 1

Video 2

Also found a few photos of some folks who took a trip over to BB

This is going to be awesome ! If you have a great digital camcorder but dont want to race you should head over to record all the action. Someone has to make a movie. You also have to wonder if some of these guys are going to add a few extra mods to get an edge.

If I do happen to make it out that way, I would like to line up against the chariot.

Caesar, gettin a little cocky, eh? lol I just put a clutch and flywheel in the car last night. as soon as that stuff gets broken in I'll be at the track. if I blow the tires away through first again, I'll buy a set of drag radials and then we'll see whats up.

Hmm, only 320 miles from Atlanta...the week before the Nopi Nationals. Shadow and I might have to make a little roadtrip.

Hopefully we'll be pushing 10psi and radials by then.

I30tMikeD with a few mods and slicks your going to be a tough max to beat !

cumalot - i leave august 31st but i expect someone to video the event and put it up on the org for download. i will host it.

SR20DEN - i wouldnt want to tangle with your max, you are going to put a hurting on some people. if anyone wants some tips on how to beat sr20den at the track send me a PM and i will give instructions on a move called " the redlight special " it will definitely give you an edge over an unsuspecting victim, and looks great on video, lol !

Mishap - 320 miles ? thats easy miles, whats up with shadows car is he faster now?

I've only gotten it to run a best 13.8@105 so far. It's making over 300whp which is enough power for very low 13's but it's a dog off the line until we get nitrous and more boost. If we go we'll probably trailer it up there since he hates rock chips on his new paint and quite honestly we can't deal w/ the 100+ decibels it is inside for that kind of distance.

I am...not sure what you run, but I think some of us slower guys should just run each other while the others battle it out.

kev is you have stock rims toss on some rota subzeros on the same tire size.

450 for 15's
500 for 16's

both prices include shipping - you could knock off approx. 8 lbs with 15's and 5.5 lbs with 16's per wheel. not a bad way at all to cut off some good time in the 1/4 mile

Well I don't want to get wheels until my tires go bad and they are fairly new so I will have to pass on that.


I really want to do the VI, but I don't know who can make me an adapter for hte 4th gen TB and the 5th gen manifold(unless some can tell me they are the same). I don't really care about IACV, that is not one of my main worries.

my best time's have been 14.8's at KCIR and MOKAN speedway I ran a 14.9

But if I still have my Maxima when September rolls around, I will have stickier tires and maybe a performance mod or two.

my biggest problem was my 60 foot time, I think my avg was 2.6 seconds...
