So I finally got my Z to the track last night and had a great time for my first time ever hitting up a dragstrip. I was very happy to find that it was an incredibly slow night so I didn't embarrass myself in front of a bunch of people.
Anyway here are my results typed, followed by a pic of slips. 1st run (in my life at a track), 2nd, 3rd (Paused after red-lighting), 4th. R/T_____.343_____LB3A_____LB3A_____.437 60'_____2.158_____2.301_____3.529_____2.057 330_____5.763_____5.894_____7.160_____5.724 1/8_____8.715_____8.826_____10.089_____8.673 MPH_____83.49_____84.32_____84.26_____83.88 1000_____11.274_____11.363_____12.627_____11.218 1/4_____13.440_____13.510____14.773(WTF?)_13.369 E.T._____104.14_____105.05_____105.12_____102.73 Pic (I'm car 822) ![]() Problems: Runs 2 & 3: Noob move and couldn't hold my left foot on the brake while bringing up the revs (which car limited me to 1500 while braking), red lighted each time. ALL runs: I COULD NOT EFFING DO A BURNOUT!!!! I had VDC off and it would just limit my rpm's. Anyone know what to do about this?? It's embarrassing not burrning a little rubber. Vids coming via youtube tonight, will edit in when complete. Run1: [YOUTUBEHQ]AWYBoTCWSok[/YOUTUBEHQ] YouTube - 1st run 13 4 Run3: [YOUTUBEHQ]ywZwIEElBgQ[/YOUTUBEHQ] YouTube - 3rd run, red light, paused, 14.7 Run4: Fastest run, yet my good camera ran out of space so cell phone footage is all I have. You can hear one of my lady friends say 13.3 Wooooo!. [YOUTUBEHQ]u15KhBPg7gw[/YOUTUBEHQ] YouTube - 4th run 13.3 Car and strategy details: 2009 370Z Base model w/ Sport Package & 7 speed auto w/paddle shifters. Best run: Held brake and had gas pedal to the floor (car would only allow 1500 or so rpms) let off brake at light, shifted as close to redline as I could. Again no burn outs because my car would not allow it even with VDC Off. Last edited by ZforMe; 04-15-2009 at 11:13 PM. |
