HELLO!!! :tiphat:

I'm about to get my car back from being parked at The Shop for 8 weeks (long story, no action though). I'm going to give it one final try before the season is over to breach 11.6's.

Anything in the twelves or lower on these rides starts getting FUN!

Coop

May as well add a non-370 platform list.

I'm thinking of bying & drag racing a 370z
 
I'm thinking of trying a 370z with bolt-ons(only)class. I like being in that almost stock class, because the driver is the most important mod. A 500h.p. Z getting beat by a 600h.p Z, reflects more on the builder & the owner's wallet.
Looks like there's not much going on here at this time. Nothing exotic, maybe I'll do an after market exhaust this time.
I'm thinking that I might be able to be in the 12.1 to 12.4 range.
Looking forward for some fun. As always, I would welcome 350z/370z racers to join me. MD, N.J. N.Y. drag strips. Keep you posted.

BLACK or WHITE color....:)

Good to get some excitement going before coming winter:)

I'll go to MD. I'd like to meet Mike & some others.

As far as more racing, how about Atco. It's close to MD.

I did make an appearance last spring at that small MD track.
It was a cold, very windy(sideway) day. Two runs, 12.6's then because of much side wind & long trip home, I left after just two runs. A yellow Camaro there got a suprise when he lost:) one car lenght 12.6 vs 12.7

Now I'm getting psyched...........

2.5 hrs away from me in NJ, that's kinda far :icon17:

I'd be ok with something within MD itself. Of course, we'd have to wait till March when the tracks open up again.

In a couple of weeks I should know what I 'm doing/which way I'm going. If it's a 370z then 2011 or 2012? Same mods as 08 but change to 4:08 gears plus an exhaust of my design/idea. If it's a 2011, I'l need an oil cooler. Which is best? Do tinted windows help in the 1/4 mile? Got to go now.
Later......

Andre, are you coming down to FL this winter?

tomorrow night is test & tune, with a low of 52 degrees... ;)

Z eliminator 11-30-2011 04:17 AM

My season up here is over. Next year the target is mid 11.s.
I bought a new 7 AT with 100 miles on it and GTM is building it into a stage 4 for me.
I would like to make a pass with it to see if it will get me into the 12.2's with the N/A set up.
But the car will have the GTM stage 2 SC on it and im going to be running 11 lbs boost
I got a price for the roll bars set up 2500.00.
It was a good year at the track this year.

Hi buddy, I wish I could. My Z not running, totaled/flooded, at shop, LS?
LS swap=very expensive/not street reliable/must be automatic:(. What to do? 370Z ?

Last year, even with all my problems, front wheels/tires didn't fit-wide radial front tires & reg ply slicks don't mix=I was all over the track-second gear was broken(that was a bitch)-learned later/in spring that I was not using the slicks the proper way. With all that, I still had a good time.
Would love to come, but with no car, I won't.
Maybe next year. Strip club a must!
Raceway Park N.J. in spring????

chuckd05 11-30-2011 12:18 PM

Atco is 2.5 away from me in NY. sounds like a good Meeting point lol

Long island people are screwed out of close tracks due to rich people bitching about noise until 11pm :-(

andre12031948 11-30-2011 03:33 PM

It took me 1 & 1/2 hours from E. Meadow to Raceway Park N.J. Coming back, 4&1/2 hours:)

tranceformer 11-30-2011 03:49 PM

I used to live about 30 min from Raceway Park, but now I'm about 20 hours away!

On the brightside, I live 20 min from another nice track.

tranceformer 11-30-2011 11:48 PM

Made a few passes tonight. I did pretty decent, weak ET's but I managed to trap 108+ mph most of the night.

Finished the night with a 12.962 @ 108.52 mph, 1.975 60ft. The rest of the night was mostly low 13's @ 108 mph, with weak 60ft times. Getting better at launching the car w/ the gears & new tires, I probably won't go back until I get a tune.

mods:
Stillen oil cooler
Berk HFC's
JWT flywheel
4.08 gears
SPL solid diff bushings
285/35/19 RE-11's
HPS post-MAF tubes
DBA 2pc front rotors

I need to get my car tuned ASAP!!!!

SharpByCoop 12-01-2011 05:12 PM

I'm prepping to go to Atco this saturday (Dec 3rd). Weather appears to be clear and heading toward low-fifties.
