Drag racing and Nurburgring in one weekend :D

FireDan50 · 09-23-2012, 11:12 AM

Took my Z to a drag event in Bitburg, Germany. Only did three runs. Took FOREVER for the lines to move because of so many cars. Temps were in the 50-60s...pretty chilly. Track surface was an airport taxiway. I had on my Michelin PSS 295s on the back w/ the 19" Volk GT-S wheels and KW V3 suspension. Not the greatest drag set-up....went more for the Ring but figured I'd try some passes. I couldn't even break into the 13's

Would like to work on my launch...guess I'll have to wait for a day without a couple hundred cars racing :P

Nurburgring....best driving experience of my life so far. So glad I went there.

Updated: After going to Nurburgring last week, did a track day at Spa-Francorchamps today. Weather was total crap, pouring rain all day...but that didn't stop us. My first time driving on this track and first time tracking in the rain so I was going SLOW but still managed to get sideways and lose it going up hill on Raidillon. Wish I had the GoPro on for that run but I forgot to turn it on. Video is uploading.
