Guess my top speed and win a prize!

I misread the flyer...it was ON a 1/2 miles strip. The run was 1000'ish. I was told that even though it was shorter than a quarter most people ran their 1/4 mile times because of the rolling start out of the autocross' last turn.

That being said...I placed 9th out of 55 cars at 124mph. I could have broken 130 but I couldn't get out of the autocross final turn clean.

The cars that were faster were all in the 130s except for a 800hp 1966 Chevelle that blew everyone away at 151mph. Surprisingly he did really well on the autocross portion too! Amazing car and driver.

- 3 were V6 (EVO 10 twin turbo w/built motor and 2 Cadillac CTS twin turbos with builts).
- Other 5 were all supercharged V8s. 3 Mustang 5ltrs, the Chevelle, and a Nova.

Also interesting was that of the 8 cars that were faster than me on the straight only 4 were also faster on the autocross course. I really felt good about the Z. If I had been able to go get my OEM fronts swapped with my 275/35x19 RS-3 I bet I could have broken 46 seconds.

Next year I am going on a 100 ocatane tune and going to use half of the runs to maximize the straight run. This was my first autocross so while the straight was fun I really wanted to end the day on the top half of the autocross leader board.

An interesting sidenote: I let the guy that wound up with the fastest autocross run drive my car. I wanted to see what it could do with a real driver behind the wheel. Was a great decision as it gave me a target to shoot for. If his time had been valid (in his own car) he would have posted the 7th fastest lap! In a car he'd never driven...single attempt. His autocross car is a Spider and daily an Audi RS8.

Remember...first event so yeah I know I did a lot of things wrong! I was just glad to not embarrass myself and be on the top half of the leader board.
