Interesting night at the local 1/8th mile track...

I ran my car tonight of course. There were plenty of VQ'd peeps out there: 2 g35 coupes...both running 9.4 best, 3 350z's....one that's supercharged running 8.3....another auto with nitrous...8.7...and the other I don't remember, and a 2k2-2k3 gle max....running 10.2@69mph. I'm still not the best at launching my car...so my 60' was 2.3....I might as well have been asleep at the wheel. My best of 2 runs was 9.970@72mph...with my 99SE with a drop-in filter and y-pipe. My first run, which was my best, was against one of the g35 coupes...I held him off until the very end...but those cars sound so sweet. I lauched at 2krpm and the track sux, but it was fun seeing that many VQ'd nissans out there, and I'm glad I wasn't THE slowest.

There were also a couple of those new Sentra SE-R vspecs...each were running well within the 9.9-10.2 bracket@69mph, so I really need to work on that launch! I really need to get into doing road courses because 10bucks for 18secs of track time really blows.

I think I may have seen your car.

U must have missed my runs, nothing above 9.7's, and a best of 9.64 @ 72.99. I was in the White Spec.

Try to go to Ennis this Fri.
