I am the fastest street trim 370z on DOT tires, period. JC says I have a new record.
I guess I do.

Your DOT tires may have been the secret weapon given the conditions!

I wish you could have been there. It was one of the most difficult things
to do in a car I have ever done. I hated it that Eli didn't come.

You know if I could I would have been there for sure!!! At times on Chuckwalla Raceway the wind comes up and covers the track with sand or there will be tornado size dust devil that will cover the track with sand and bring the visibility down to almost zero on the bowl which is a high speed banked turn. Yep, the pucker factor goes off the chart as you don't dare hit the brakes as you skate around the track. You did awesome and it seems like you found your limit with the car in the conditions that were dealt to you. Tenth fast overall ain't no joke....congratulations!!!!

You would have crapped a gold nugget if you felt the whoops at the end of the run on the right lane. That was the one with more traction that I ran the 163.5 mph. First time I felt that at 162.7 mph it was a big pucker factor.

Still not happy with it. What I am thinking right now, "Is this something I want to chase?"

Haha, welcome to track car hell!!! You got to decide if you want to chase a number or just enjoy going fast and knowing that you have one of the fastest Zs in the Nation...period. You have made your point that your car is faster than all but the fast Zs. Enough said!!! And you can go even faster if you want to play that game. We are all here to help you shake that money tree no matter what you decide. LMAO!!!

True, just a simple alignment change would net some traction and top speed. How much? I do not know.

Roll cage,alignment & play with some aero.
Seeing that you can’t do stationary burnouts prior...line-loc wouldn’t help at these events.
Maybe if your pit crew would have showed up to assist in some adhesive on the mini burnouts
