Car: 2009 370Z Touring/Sport 6 Speed + Stillen Gen III
Track Info: SIR sits at 3,075 ft (94 degrees Late Evening dropped down to about 80 degrees)

Although I am not too pleased with my times I am pleased with how well I did compared to the other cars out there.

There were about 3-4 mustangs out there and a few camaros all running high 15s-16s. There were about 3 Vettes running low to mid 13s. I also saw a couple evos and STIs running 14s.

I haven't been to a drag strip in about 2 years and being that this is the first time I was out with my 370Z I think i did OK in comparison. I was having a hell of time launching. I dropped the rear air pressure to 25psi and was dumping the clutch at 3k. I felt like i was going in slow motion all through first gear and wouldn't feel the car really move until 3rd gear.

1st RUN
RT: .344
60: 2.206
1/4: 14.455
MPH: 97.72

2nd RUN (Forgot to turn off the VDC)
RT: .161
60: 2.713
1/4: 15.3
MPH: 97.14

3rd Run
RT: .503
60: 2.224
1/4: 14.2
MPH: 98.03

4th Run
RT: .086
60: 2.349
1/4: 14.26
MPH: 98.87

My runs were so far and few inbetween that my oil never got too crazy. The highest it was after one run was 230-240. Had it not been as packed i am sure my car would have went Limp.
