Sounds like management was horrific.

Vlad, Mike, & BLUESLATE would definately be in the high 13's if the runs were back in december/january! Even with mediocre 60ft's (assumption).

...and what were the temps during the runs?

Mike & Wally, im thinking about hitting up Irwindale on the 20th. The weather will be cooler that thursday than this upcoming thursday. I'll see as the date gets closer.

PS. Please post timeslips/videos on the link provided in the previous post!

I'm logged on work laptop (home internet is down)... so my scanner is not hooked up to this computer... If I remember I'll take time slip to work and scan - or Vlad can post the one of mine - it ended up being my best ET of the day, even though I hit limiter in 2nd...

Had a really great time everyone, great people, great food, car ran great, track management not so good plus I felt that it was packed like hell. Got a total of 7 runs with a best time of 13.30 @ 106 mph. Thank you to everyone who organized and brought equipment + supplies, it was an awesome day!

Nice meeting you Phillip - consistent 13.3s!!! Way to go!

in hindsight the open lanes thing isn’t too bad... when running groups the best you can hope for is 4 runs - I ended up getting 4 in 2 hours (end of day)... you got 7!!! That’s more than group would ever allow...

I still like the idea of groups though.

Yup that was one of my best launches, too bad that was the time i missed 2nd again. G35s seem to bring the best out of me all the time.

for you die hard racers do you want to try this? http://www.alternativemotoring.com/

If you do this once it should satisfy your need for speed for the summer. (hopefully)

Tell me what you guys think. I was told by a guy on my350z that he got over 15 runs in 3hrs.
