I was there last year. Car show, many classes for drag racers, good food & beer, even a band with hot strippers dancing!!! Like most times, I was the only 350z/370z. A nice 300z turbo was also there.
My 350z is still being re-wired & won't be ready. However I may race my new/old 240sx se. It has 157k & is pure stock. I plan on winning bracket 2 (if car doesn't break Warning - very crowded, & bracket classes had 70+ cars in each class.

Plenty of hot Latin chicks to look at & hot guys(for the 370z owners

I am very approachable & will be signing autographs

Sunday has the racing finals & is the better day....

I'm all in. If any north jersey guys want to ride down, we should get something arranged.

That day a shop from L.I. brought a Z that ran in mid 9's & won some top class. Also same shop brought 4 Z's to a smaller Import day at Island Drags N.J. It's just that after 2 years going to Atco & Raceway Park & being the only Z 90% of the time, oh well, sorry just forgot

Island drags was interesting. Since I had broken trans. (couldn't get it into second I had to enter the slower bracket 2 class. Some runs I had to try 3 times before getting in gear, then try to figure how fast to finish without breaking out & losing. As ridiculous as that sounds, there's more. Island is kind of rough. I got a nail into one slick & had to check, leave the line & drive like 3 times to add air on every run. I kid you not!

Still made it to the final run. Couldn't get it into second & lost. Only good thing, they gave me the same trophie for coming second

I hope the weather is nice, & I can make it, & I hope other Z owners/enthusiasts can also come. I'm sorry I won't have my Z. Seeing a hundred of Hondas & no Nissans is

Default Long drive, tolls, gas, racing fee ?

I still don't have my Z, so do I want to do this? It's been over 6 months since my last drag visit. I miss seeing all the different cars/noise & smell of a big drag event. If weather stays nice and I make it out of bed. Anyway, I'll try to make it with my 95 240sx with 157k & engine light on I'll try my luck in bracket 2, but will be happy if the car stays together & can be driven home

Import weekend at Raceway Park......

Default So crowded you could barely walk

The weather was perfect. Thousands of car enthusiasts. Hundreds of import race cars, plus show cars and a bikini contest. All import car meet. Race cars that did six, seven seconds 1/4 mile, a jet car, and hundreds of regular street cars. Location was N.J. with NY, MD, CT, PA a drive away. Not a single 350z/370z showed up to go down the 1/4 mile.

Any new dyno sheets posted? Who's winning?
