Vegas Speak Up!

JENZ · 05-31-2013, 08:21 PM

Haven't heard back from you yet Super. If you end up going just catch up with me there. I'm rolling from my house at about 7pm.

Anyone need an oil cooler back home ? My 72 row AE Performance won't fit my build.

Tazicon · 06-01-2013, 02:35 AM

That was a blast next time I need to run the Z!

JENZ · 06-01-2013, 02:59 AM

Yay! That was my husband in the mini. My best tonight was 14.6 which is only marginally better than the first time I did this but an improvement none the less.

Been considering getting one to upgrade my stock one but unfortunately not in a position right now to buy.

So sorry I didn't get back to you Jenz, I got busy with some extra work and completely forgot to let you know we weren't going. We wanted to go though, and it'd have been cool to see you guys. Next week maybe?

No worries, this oil cooler is a bit expensive, even resale, also a bit overkill for a lot of people. It's twice the size of normal ones. Great for our weather tho

It looked like you two were having fun. One race I thought your hubby was going to beat you but you hung on. It was fun to watch.

That's ok! The next one is scheduled for June 28th. Looking at the LVMS schedule it appears they are going to be more sparse for the remainder of the year. Not like this month which was almost every week.

Husband has pretty maxed out the potential in the stock mini. He is a great driver and grew up around all this. Me on the other hand, I am far from where I need to be. So it is likely we will still be going to the remaining Mayhems this year.

Wish I could just slap a SC on it to make up for my poor driving like this girl in a Saleen doing 12's the last two times we went.

He "almost" beat me on our last race by a hair (my perception was that he did but I just took a peek at the slip and I beat him by a hair actually). I can't launch that well. I especially can't launch with a rev. I need to work on that. The last race we did before leaving I tried launching at a rev and bogged down. That mini really puts its power down well and his excellent driving coupled with my poor driving despite the Z being a more powerful car..... it just really shows that it really is about driver skill... even in a straight line.

Well I am thinkng I will try to go out to Cars and Coffee and agian this weekend. Anyone on here going?

JENZ · 06-03-2013, 09:43 PM

Did you get your nails did before that vacay, Jenz?

My wife saw this and sent me a pic - she figured it was you since your plate matches your tagline

(P.S - Now you've done it - she wants your car).

Tazicon · 06-04-2013, 02:53 PM

Have fun up there! I have never made the trek to Canada but I hear it is beautiful.
