Well i didn't quite reach my goal time but i still had a blast. When i first got there i noticed a 350z, looked it over and told my buddy I want to race that guy. When i got to run, guess what? 350z. After i did my run and i talked to everybody about it they said the people in the crowd were joking about a dodge colt versus a 350z what a joke this wont be a race who is this guy kidding. My buddy said the other drivers were like kinda shaking their heads. Keep in mind this was my first drag race at a track. ever. To make things look worse the track guy had to coach me on how to stage. But when i left the line, jaws dropped everywhere (or so i am told). And so did my exhaust, the force of the launch on the sticky track caused it to fall off, but i just kept going anyways. I left that 350z in the dust, he ran 14.9 I ran 13.07 dragging my whole exhaust system the length of the track. They gave me shit for going too fast without a helmet. But they said i could run again if i fix the exhaust. I pulled the whole exhaust and borrowed a helmet (I brought one but it was too old) And my second run pulled a 13.3. Both runs my driving was decent. No missed shifts, decent launches.
I plan to go back next friday and shoot for that 12 second pass.
Violating the stock 350z was sooo worth going just for that.
The second car i raced was a 80's malibu with a cage, And like open headers loud as hell, big burnout. Yes i beat him too, but it was real close.
Actually i was probably the fastest guy there with street tires. The closest i saw was a modded 08 sti ran a 13.1
