Just got back from the drag strip.
I got back from the drag strip just now. It's a very mediocre facility. Elevation 662', humidity medium, wind 15-25 blowing right in your face... not good for top end. The right lane was useless, I don't understand why. Every single time I was in the right lane I spun 2nd gear all the way to redline. WTF?
Anyways, highlights of the day include:
Beating a FULLY modded CL-S. Intake, exhaust, V-AFC, Comptech headers, UDP, who knows what else. He said his car wasn't running well, and I believe him. I would think they would normally trap much higher than he did. He ran a 14.898 @ 93.55 with a 2.26 60' to my dismal 14.71 @ 94.90 with a 2.28 60'.
Barely losing to a Supercharged GSR running a smaller pulley (8lb vs 6lb). My best run of the day. I ran a 14.50 @ 95.12 with a 2.20 60' to his 14.26 @ 98.23 with a 2.28 60'. Basically I pulled a car on him off the line and he reeled me back in at the far end.
Beating a fellow nissan, a stock 200SX. He ran a 17.4 or something.
Ran down a what I assume was a juiced V6 Firebird on slicks. No way an LT1 or LS1 would be trapping at only 92.5 mph.
Got my a$$ kicked by a pair of Lightnings. There were 5 or 6 of them there.
Thats about all. No new record times or anything.

My friend has a '01 Lightning. 380HP, 400+lb.-ft. of torque. I got to drive it too, and I must say my max feels a little faster...it's like I wasn't moving in that thing........
Becuase the damn tires wouldn't stop spinning

wow, I wish we had a track around here like that.
I bet if it was a really cold night, there'd be some very good times (especilly higher trap speeds than normal)

I feel your pain. I didnt do great myself but i went down w/ my cousin in his Lightning & his friend w/ a BPU MKIV.
My time wasnt great but i pulled 100mph trap speeds.
My cousin ran a 12.7 w/ two 18" stock Lightning wheels in the bed, a huge jack, & a tool kit. I dont know what he was thinking, i think he just didnt want his stuff stolen.
MKIV ran a 13.2 while spinning through 1, 2, & 3.

I saw a brand new lightning drop its drive shaft right on to the track about half way down the 1/4. The guy got out and just stood there sulking for about 10 mins. while they towed his car off the track, I felt really bad for that guy, hope he can get it fixed under warranty.
