Raced a 350Z at the track today.

Went to Mo-Kan dragway today for the Import/Sport Compact races. Last year I won the Street 6 All-Motor. I was hoping to win it again but 2 350Z's showed up and killed that idea. (I did get third though.) One of them still had temp tags on it. The guy with the temp tags started out running high 16's and went on to win with a 14.2. After watching him a couple times early on I thought I may have a chance, but then he learned to drive the car. I ran him in the semi's and he knocked me out with a 14.4 to my 14.9. That run went like this: (I'm on the left)

0.6985 - R/T - 0.7891
2.2808 - 60 FT - 2.2086
6.3130 - 330 FT - 6.1381
9.6486 - 1/8 ET - 9.3680
74.04 - 1/8 MPH - 76.80
12.5359 - 1000 ET - 12.1282
84.57 - 1000 MPH - 88.51
14.9886 - 1/4 ET - 14.4538
91.59 - 1/4 MPH - 97.65

It was cool to finally race one.

Since the 350Z driver "learned" to drive his car, I would assume stick.

Both stick.

The one that beat me was the Track Edition or whatever they call it. Had the Brembo brakes and Rays Engineering wheels.
