looking forward to hearing how the 350's & 370's do in N/A classes
 
Since I participated last year & know how hard & well some of those z's & Infinities tried & did, I guess I'm kind of curious. Who won? Any of those 300+whp Z's break into the 12's. I believe one of the two bracket classes was 12.99 & lower. Is there a site (like last year) that posted the racing????

The 350z.com site has only a post about a turbo Z doing well.

Was there a bikini contest???
 
I was going to bring one of the girls from my 350z strip club thread & have her enter that contest.
Since that thread(for what ever reason) was deleted, I guess that kind of ended it. I also was deleted. Maybe next year if the sponsors are different, & I have a competitive car, & I'm still alive, then I would be happy to participate. I was treated very nicely by the tech/performance moderators, the rest of the moderators were emotionally involved in the political & other threads(strip club). They posted more than the members. I guess they had the advantage :icon17: They had the power to delete everything & anybody.:roflpuke2:

Moderators should be like boxing referees. Do their job, without being in the middle of the ring with the fighters. Like there's 3 or 4 of them in almost every thread:icon17:

If you talked with me before the meet, you would be the winner

Bracket racing is NOT about coming close to your dialed in time, it's about WINNING the race without going UNDER your dial in time. So without seeing the race, I'm sure you lost:)

Of course when you have real racers not the people that showed up in the bracket class there, you would have to do a lot of things perfect if you hope to have some chance in winning.
1) reaction time
2) consistent times
3) winning the race without breaking/going under your dialed in time.
Of course there's much more to know like knowing where the finish line is, like breaking hard before crossing it if you're ahead of the other car, so NOT to go under your dialed in time, like cutting the light close/quick reaction time/taking a chance, ONLY when you know your competition is very good, like he has quick reaction times & consistent performance close to his dial in. When your running against a not experienced racer you should not take a chance & getting a red light with a very quick/take a chance reaction time. There's also staging that gives you an advantage that most don't even understand & there's MORE.

It sounds like I would have won with one hand tied behind my back & reading a book during the racing :icon17:

So what car won bracket one & what times. Bracket two & times? Was your race the final run? Any z's in bracket one(12.99) or better?

Sorry that you lost. If you asked before going, I'm sure you would have had a very good chance to win it all. Sorry....

Its cool..my best time for the day was a 14.73...this was my first time in the track...to be honest with you...I didn't watch the races...after I ran I stayed in the parking lot with some friend until my bracket came up again...thanks for clearing that up for me....now I know for next year
