Nissan Vs. Infinity Shootout!
 

Has anyone heard about this or interested in going?

I found uot about this from the myg37 page, thought i'd share the wealth.

2013 Nissan Infiniti Shootout

damn this is 15 minutes from where I am right now (parents house) but pretty far from me in connecticut lol but I am still thinking of going

I'm thinking a out it too but I didn't want to be the only a hole going. Caravan?

Koeppel is sponsoring the shootout, we may roll out of here on 75th and Northern !

a little off topic but does koeppel offer repainting?

was good last year will be even better this time :tup:

this is close to my house and i will be going and so will my buddy in his G!

yes we do. ask for me at the show, or call me at 718 898 7800 ext 339. ask for Joe

You are from New England? Not sure if you are part of the Northeast VQ group on facebook. One of the biggest Infiniti Nissan community in the area. Post it up there and see if anyone is interested.

Btw, we are going to cars and copters tomorrow not sure if you are going too.

its more than just a drag. not everyone races.

It was a lot of fun. I had a great time. Unfortunately this year I was not invited & besides they eliminated the top N/A class.

Heard about this! I rock with some people there. :tup:

Racing Classes
there will be prizes $$$ for winners in each class but to says its not worth it if your N/A :shakes head: its just a fun day for anyone who wants to run there car on the strip . even if your not planning on running still got a parking lot of nice cars too look at and then we get to see the GTR.s run and make everything look like it was in slow motion :excited:

Last year they had heads up N/A Z class & bracket n/a Z racing. This year the Z N/A cars will have only bracket racing. While bracket racing has some good points, like a 15 second Z has the same, no better chance of winning than a 13 second car, much of the excitement will be missing. One car takes off, the second car tries to catch & pass the first car, then when it does pass & wins the race most people would think that. Meanwhile it broke out & really never came back to race again.

It would not be fun when for the final run a 14 second automatic z racers a 15 second automatic z. After the race, it won't matter who crossed the finish line first, only after the announcer says who the winner is is when you know who won. Also the manual trans cars have very hard time to compete with automatic cars. Staging, consistency, & take off is like two different worlds.

This is just me but since I'm not racing, I won't drive 2/3 hours just to look at some cars or to see modded GT-R's that are not price wise in my world race each other.

^what the f*&k ???

Sometimes it's hard for me to be clear. Is there something you didn't understand? I'll gladly explain it, neighbor:)

If you don't want to go, or weren't invited that's cool. I am trying to figure out why you are badmouthing it so much, and across so many threads. Just my 2 cents

Can you give me an example?

Yeah I don't know who he's trying to talk to in that thread but he is quoting himself and responding like there was someone there. If anything it sounds like he is deeply disturbed and a bit mental about not being allowed to participate.

:rolleyes:

He just wants to let everybody on the 370 site know he has the fastest NA 350 time. Again. Dude, just put your time slip in your sig and be done with it. :p

Good idea, I'll try to do that.
Thanks

The event will be a blast no matter if you have a N/A 370z, FI 370z or a razor scooter. It's a great event to see awesome Nissan/Infiniti cars, meet fellow enthusiasts and have a great time.

I feel guilty because of some of my posts
 

Last year I was grateful & very happy of what the sponsors of the Atco meet put together. It was by far my best day at the track that year.

I hope this year's event is as good & better.

All Z's owners should try to make it. It's the best time to see many different Nissans & see how fun drag racing is.

The new bracket racing will give EVERYONE a chance to win.

After having gotten a chance to have a great time last year, it was wrong for me to act the way I did.
Sorry,
Andre

Bump because I was not very nice. Nothing that bad, but I should have considered my good times last year & should have acted a little nicer.

a bump for the Atco meet on Sept. 22nd
 

I was always promoting drag racing, and had a great time last year. I had my emotions take over & I took a low road.

I reminded myself that I was acting like the low life person I met at a dyno meet on L.I.

So I'd like to take, if I may, my posts back.

The Atco meet is an opportunity to see many Z's & other sport Nissans, as well as some cool people.

If anyone wants to leave early from Queens, some cars are meeting at Koeppel Nissan (74-15 Northern Blvd in Jackson Heights 11372) Meet at 5am, rolling out no later than 5:30

check that meeting at 6am, cause an hour more of sleep sounds great. Leaving by 615 so dont be late!!!!

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:

I was in the 13 & slower bracket...not with my z..with my 09 maxima...please help me understand this...elimination round...I dialed in a 14.80 time...I ran a 14.84...the guy in the other lane dialed in a 13.48...and ran a 13.60...and I lost...I thought it was who was closer to their dialed in time...am I wrong?

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
