Round 6 of the Z Club Drag Race Challenge, Santa Pod
- Thread starter 240z
- Start date
The gathering
Gates open 8:30-9:00 I think but generally runs begin 9:30 onwards
I try to get to the fire up road as early as possible after signing on.
Early = cool = better engine performance.
Early = less people to mess the track up = better traction.
Meet up on the concrete apron trackside just down from the cafe if you want, at say 9 am thats generally where we make camp (notice I didnt say "camp out")
Should be a REALLY-REALLY good day if the turnout is as expected -- get your launch right Phil and you could grab yourself a super-modified scalp or two.

A question -- did or does Ratz class as super modified

Note I have given some guide E.T.s based on previous experience for each class - any competitor significantly exceeding these guidelines might be the subject of some closer scrutiny (trackside engine teardowns compulsory, that sort of thing... ).

I'll get there as early as I can then, just hope I can find someone to follow again, last time I had a hard time keeping up with an R32 skyline, who must have thought I was trying have a race, not just foloowing him because I had no idea where I was going!
I hope I can - looking forward to giving it a go in any case!
see you all there, will try and get next to the Rutland Express in the queue and try to keep up with his 60ft!
No praise, just the cold hard facts of life, and to back it upSkiddell, have you heard what they say about self praise
13.94 @ 98.48 mph and my wife says I'm the best looking man she has ever slept with -- all the rest were pig ugly
Hey Like I said, if any modified 240 can beat the Express's best time of 13.9 then I'll donate £25 to the club funds, simple as that and Sundays the last roundhe's been looking in the wrong mirror and 2005 aint over yet....
Bring it on
Well for those that didnt come, you missed an amaZing day and a fitting climax to the end of the 2005 drag challenge.
Weather was perfect all day, in and around the mid 20's
Track was very well prepared
4 personal bests were achieved
3 new class records were set
And to top it all, an 11 second 300 made nearly every other car (including a skyline or two) look pedestrian
