Capitol Raceway 8/5
 

Looks like a bunch of Zs and Gs will be making it out this friday from the other other site. 20/25 people with 7~10 running.

Anyone feel like making it out there???

What time? and cost to watch?

10 bucks entry, 20 bucks race. Gates open at 4:30 and a few people get their runs in early and then just hang out... Sounds like a good time.

Bad*ss, thanks Kirkster!

Why didn't you tell me this last week, I would have gone to this instead!

Just saw the link on that other site last night...

You not allowed to go to two weeks in a row?

Im gonna be there

Count me in!

a friend called me from Capitol Raceway last weekend, told me about a Z that was running... I miss Annapolis!!!!!!

If it was last Friday, that was me! :tup:

Hahaha. Probably was you then! Sounded like you where doing good...

I was doing ok, nothing spectacular. Mostly just messing around trying to figure out the best rpm to launch at. Had to leave early though before I could get a really good time.

Though it did annoy me that the announcer kept calling my car a 350Z :shakes head:

350Z?? come on announcer, where's the love? hehe

It's all because you didn't have the confidence to launch the car right :stirthepot:



:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

No No No... We beat the "VDC ON" theme into him and he left it on all night...

Ha! Actually, my quickest times at MIR were with VDC left on. Allowed just the right amount of wheelspin off the line without bogging down (still... 2.20 60ft times aint nothing to be proud of :facepalm:)

No but I did accidentally leave the windows down for one run :p

Yeah, I'm sure that extra wind drag with the windows open killed your time into the 15's :stirthepot:

No that was a 13.5 run, but it may have been my best of the day if I had left the windows up.

Blades, I am not highjacking the thread, I promise; but has anyone adjusted their clutch to engage earlier?

I didn't like the way the clutch engages at the top of the stroke, so I adjusted it to engage about 1" from the bottom. This feels extremely natural and shifts are much smoother and quicker.

Since the clutch is engaging earlier and you are shortening the stroke distance, this may possibly knock off a tenth or so, just a thought.

Not my thread and I don't really care even if you do highjack it :p

Good luck to anyone who is running today! :tup:

So how did you guys do?

Well as I was not allowed to run faster than 13.49 being a convertible. I managed a 13.51...

I had all kinds of problems getting things hooked up...

Like I said before, I suck at DR launches.

So what you're saying is that you're slower than me :stirthepot:

Jk man :roflpuke2:

:shakes head:

You were not allowed to run faster than 13.49?
What does that mean and what can they do to prevent it?

I have no roll bar.

If you run less than the allowable limit they throw you out.

that's going to make it difficult to test out that new supercharger

Kirk,

What keeps you from winding it out on your last run of the night, just to see what kind of time you can get? I am guessing you are kicked out for the night, correct?

Kirk, I'd love to see your car go, a supercharged Z is sexy... like carmen electra.:yum:
