Drag Racing at Capitol Raceway - September 30th
 

So I'm planning on going back to Capitol Raceway on Friday September 30th. Temps should be cooler than so I can hopefully get some better times. Would be great to have some other Z's there running with me. If not, you can just stop by to watch and hang out. I know a couple of you live nearby so no excuses! :p

My friend is bringing his new 6MT M3 there so I want to see how I do against him. His car has an exhaust, but he's never been to a drag strip before so I'm not sure who will do better.

Track is open from 5pm to around 10-11pm and I'm aiming to be there that whole time or at least most of it. I may leave a bit early if it gets too busy. It's $10 to watch and $20 to race. If you have helmets we can borrow it would be really helpful! I can probably borrow one from Brian0128, but we will need more than one depending on how many people plan on racing.

So whose interested?

Count me in, might not be running though due to CEL issues

Awesome! I'm hoping we can actually get a couple of people here this time.

Yeah, last time I went there was only one 370Z there (Kirk), mostly 350s and G35s

Why does it have to be a Friday night... ugh. Would like to come up there but traffic coming from NoVa is gonna be a pain in the @$$.

in all honesty you may not miss much...last time I was there people were complaining that they couldnt hook up on the track

Dude, everyday NoVa traffic suuuuucks.:ugh2:

Blades, if by some chance im not working, I'd love to watch.

Shahid, I'll come up. You can use my helmet if you run. I may even have a 2nd you can use.

My friend with the M3 doesn't want to drive as far as the other tracks :p

Awesome! Haven't gotten a chance to hang out with you in a while. Maybe you can run my car once to see how your future 7AT Z will be like :icon17:

I just hope I can get this intake situation taken care of by then. Still waiting for them to be shipped :shakes head:

I dot expect any record setting times at Capitol Raceway, I know its not propped as well as some of the other tracks. Maybe we can do one at MIR in October since its closer for the VA guys, right? Their track is probably better too, but i don't know how crowded it will be. Cecil County dragway is usually pretty empty but is further up north in MD. That's where Brian and I went the first time.

Yeah the private track days Steve and I went to at MIR were pretty nice. Got like 30 passes in and could have definitely run the car more. Nice track and decent prep. Not to mention 80ft above sea level = moar faster :tup:

Any idea when the next one is?

Paging Dr. Fa**ot... Steve will know :bowrofl:

I'll send a text to Dr. Faggot Steve.

He's probably busy right now making monies (or trying to save what's left of it).

I'll just wait for him to reply whenever he has time. Though he did reply to the fb posts.

He said he doesn't know. We can probably just pick one day and go even if it's not a private track rental day.

I'll plan to make it to watch.

Awesome will be great to see you there! Anyone actually plan to run their Z or will I still be the lone one? Looks like I'll have my own section in the stands cheering for me :rofl2:

If I remember, I'll bring my camcorder and take some HD video of you on the drag strip.

Awesome! Thanks Jon!

I'm down to watch since I live literally 5 mins away. :rofl2:

Dunno if I will run though. I do have a helmet also if anyone needs to borrow it.

You should definitely run!

I'll run the Altima. It only has 260 miles on it so far... good chance to break her in good and proper. :bowrofl:

Weak.... :shakes head:

Wait... isn't your Altima a 4-banger? :stirthepot:

I'm guessing low to mid 16's in the 1/4 mile :tup:

It is :icon17:

You should challenge his Z to a showdown with your Max, maybe that will convince him :stirthepot:

I would get :owned: at the 1/4 mile. The Max sucks from a dig... stupid rubberband trans :mad:

I wanna see what it can do with the intake and exhaust. Think you can break into the 13's again? You could beat a really crappy Z driver if you can :roflpuke2:

I've seen some people who were running 14's in their Z's :shakes head:

Well, bone stock my best was 13.93 @ 100.45 and that was at MIR. I'd like to get into the low 13.8's, but not holding my breath.

If the Z is a 6MT, should be a close race :roflpuke2:

You should come out to Capitol if you can, would be awesome to see the Max run!

I'd have to take a Friday off or only work a half day so I could get up there before the traffic hits. Definitely plan on it next month when the weather gets a bit cooler :tup:

Ok I guess I'll see you then :tup:

Reason being I want similar ambient temps to what I ran in last October at MIR for the most accurate comparisons between stock vs intake/exhaust.

I saw that CR is 20ft above sea level vs 80ft for MIR. Not bad!

I'm gonna hook up a bottle of NAWS to the Altima and it will be a beast! A beast I tell you!!

Do it! :stirthepot:
