Well, first time taking my car up the strip at pod, really need to work on my launch as got no launch controller. had 4 runs in total went up against markdarby. i think we could of had bets on who was going to blow up first on that first run, i had my boost controller off for the first run as well, did 3 runs in the right hand lane, and the last in the left hand.

 

Anyway here are my times.

Run 1. 15.03 @101.67mph (boost controller off 9psi)

Run 2. 14.93 @105.43mph (boost controller on high 18psi)

Run 3. 14.43 @103.54mph (Boost controller on high 18psi)

Run 4. 15.05 @93.5mph (boost controller on high 18psi)

 

Kept bogging down on take off as not enough revs for a decent launch, and when watching the video replay back looks like i was just powering down a motor way rather than drag racing, also need to get my dials out and sort out my rev counter as the needle is sticking at the 4k revs mark making gear changes hard to judge.

 

Oh and before you ask, mark won between us, but was still fun going up against another 300zx, i think that boot install really helped him stick that power down lol

Run 1 16.82 @ 81.98 60ft @ 2.75 - first ever attempt, spun too much off the line

Run 2. 16.87 @ 82.58 60ft @ 2.71 - stumbled at start (let the clutch out too quick)

Run 3. 16.73 @ 82.42 60ft @ 2.63 - prayed my car wouldn't explode

Run 4. 16.11 @ 84.11 60ft @ 2.28 - good start and gave it everything seeing as it was my last run!

please bare in mind while your all wetting yourselfs laughing at my figures that my car is an n/a and this was the first time i have every got involved.

 

Nobody is going to laugh. If anyone is thinking about it I will just get Bri/Znut to beat the living shit out of them.

 

Credit to you for having a go.And Ian also.

still finding it hard to believe ive got the turbos it says i have, as i said noz is running stock turbos on his zed at 17psi and getting faster results, although his is a auto.

 

June 2006 was last time i pounded down "The Strip"(Christ wheres the time gone, i should be ashamed not to of been since!) i loved it , especially meeting others and having good laugh and chatting all day , loved the Drag Challenge , non official best time i did was 12.56 , that was 361 bhp at hubs (Auto) with a few mods etc:whistling: I ran auto's and manual Zs , always found the autos quicker , better delivery , maintain boost better , less wheel spin ,.

Glad you had good time , it gets addictive , great fun and atmosphere , well done all.
