what did you run? How many runs did you get? The norm there is 2-4 as I remember it.

^He didn't run because of a slipping SC belt.

Great meeting everyone today. Its nice to see trophy winning (car show) G35's holding down the top 10 positions in multiple classes out on the track, all while using street tires. This was my first time running a 1/4 mile and managed to get a 12.685 @ 113.78mph.

I think you have one of the fastest FI VQs in Socal that I know of. I think the fastest time I know of is from Tomcat in his TT 350z there I think he ran 12.3 on DRs yrs ago.

Rookie was running 12.5 in his TT FX.

I don't remember what Dsport ran with his TT G35.

Did you spin and what was your 60ft? Nice time especially out there.

I'm not the fastest, TTrank ran a 12.3. My 60ft was 2.1, can't do much about that because its an auto. Out of 4 runs, the tires hooked up good on 2 of them. I was fighting for traction on the other 2 which is why those were 13s.

I said one of the fastest and I forgot about TTrank not many FI VQ's run 12's out there. I couldn't go faster than 13.03 when I was FI and I had over 400hp/tq.

I'm 99.9% sure he never ran at Fontana... Derek was referring to So Cal (Fontana track)...

So it's likely you are the fastest FI... comparing to other tracks isnt indicative of each car's ability.
