I have full slips for anyone wanting to see them (as well as weather conditions, etc).

ENJOY!!!

 

lol did you know the guy in that 350z? Yikes. I noticed you raced him twice...

 

Yeah, I knew him. He was my son's karate instructor. He has a sweet 350Z, but simply does not know how to launch it. I think that was his very first time at a drag strip.

 

what did he run in vid one is that 8.5 or 9.5 ? must be 9.5 cause in the second video looked like a 9.6 ? there was a Z car this weekend running the 1/8th doing about the same ? 2005 roadster but it was an auto.

Video 3 rocks ! shame shame shame !

6spd who's 4th gen max is that ?

 

also any idea who much your car weighs on race day ? im thinking about going with a 3.5 swap versus 5th gen im swap.

 

The first video, the 350 ran a 10.5. He is a 6 speed and had never run at a track. He kept forgetting to turn off his traction control.

I am actually notorious at that track for taking down Mustang GT's (well, those close to stock anyway). My night of glory came when I took down a 2002 GT, a 2001 GT, a 97 Cobra, a 92 GT, and a late 80's GT. When I beat the Cobra (who was definetly having problems), I had a couple of rough looking gentlemen approach me in the staging lanes after the run. They told me to step out of the car (thinking I was going to get my a$$ beat). They asked if I was spraying, I said no. They wanted to go over the car and make sure. When they saw that I was indeed running NA, one of the guys got mad, threw down his hat, and handed the other guy a $20 bill. He had lost a bet on the Cobra and my race, then bet I was spraying. That night I also left the track with a busted motor mount. :-)

That was Naijai's 4th gen. He is on the board here somewhere. He now has a black Infinity I-30.

My car in full race prep (removed front passenger seat, rear bench and back, no jack or tools) with my lard butt in it weighs 3300 pounds (weight confirmed my the track scales).

 

thats one of the funniest stories i have heard about maxima racing ! a classic ! any chance you could make that into one long signature, lol ?

6spd what is your car doing in the 1/4 mile ?

 

Haha, great story.

 

Best was a 14.01 @ 100, but that has been a while back. I rarely run a 1/4 mile (a. I hate that track, never had a good experience there, b. it is 2 hours away) The 1/8th mile is nearly in my back yard.

 

well 8.9 (1/8th) sounds awefully close to 13.8/13.9 range

 

The 8's and the 13's have been like a unicorn to me. When I finally got into the 8's I jumped for joy. Once I get tuned, (blah, blah, typical benchracer talk), I am hoping to see an 8.6 at 81.5 or so.

 

What's your 1/4 mile time?

 

Nice runs, i love the vids! Especially love the story about the mustangs.. I've had something similar happen at the track too.. sometimes they just don't know any better

What kind of 60ft times are you pulling on the DR's?

 

I rarely get to a 1/4 mile, but before the mods I had to get me in the 8's (in the 1/8th), I had ran a best of 14.01 at 100. I need to get back to the 1/4 when I am at full strength (hopefully soon).

The best 60' I have gotten with my dr's is a 1.952.

 

Awe man i just read the mustang story that was great. I would have loved to see that.
