Lightbulb 10/27: Irwindale drag racing tonight

For those of you that aren't gonna go stuff your faces with Korean BBQ, I'm heading out to Irwindale for a few runs.

If you've never been, PM me before 1p and I'll give you my cell.

Otherwise, if you make it, look for the Silver G. I'm guessing I'll be the only G35 Sedan there

Cheers, Ted

Damn it! Wish I would have known earlier... didn't get this till it was too late.

Let us know how you did Ted! I would have liked to be there - could have finally talked to about the TT stuff and paid my fees... More heads up next time (if you can)

Post results please!

Nice seeing you again Ted!

thanks for the tips, and i must say, they worked like a charm!

with the tips u gave me, i did a best of 9.53

i know i could do a bit better with more practice. And i'm actually going to be getting the 350Z intake piece (not sure what it's exactly called) but i'll be going to Performance Nissan next week for an oil change. So i'll pick it up then.

Good to see you to Walter! Keep practicing and no more waiting for the green

Z-duct is what you are looking for.

Cheers, Ted

Started with 9.4's (passenger and hot off the freeway).

Cooled down and dropped to 9.3's. By dark and lightening up both gas and my passenger, I was running consistent 9.2's with the fastest of the night being a 9.138 (no nitrous tonight) Had two runs where they could not find my slip.

60' sucked with 2.2 / 2.4's. Well, that's what I get for driving a 5AT with 19's and not checking my air pressure. Track got oiled down about 5 times by various old schooler muscles.

I went thursday night mostly for fun and to pass out Toys for Tots flyers. And besides, anytime on the track is time well spent.

-Ted
