“Rev on the Redline” ZCG Drag Session 4…10/20/10

Filed under: Performance
by Alvin G @ 1:03 pm on October 11, 2010

The Z Car Garage Drag Racing Series continues for 2010. Z Car Garage is hosting a drag competition for all-years Nissans and Datsuns at Sears Point Raceway. Come join us for the next event of fun and Z-ing “in a straight line” October 20, 2010. Walt (Fowlman) won the last series in his supercharged 350Z with his consistent 12.9s runs. We’ll be continuing through November 11th with 5 events in total . We had a good showing of Zs and Gs at the drags our last drags event on July 7th. For anyone that missed it, Chuck’s TT 350Z ran an amazing 11.75s 1/4 mile on low boost! We look forward to seeing the wick turned up on this beast at the next event, and a sub 11.5s run! Rob made the overall Top 25 as well as the Top 25 for twin turbo cars lists for all models of the 350Z in the drag racing portion of my350z in Chuck’s TT 350.

He currently sits at 23rd overall for all 350Zs, and 18th for all twin turbo 350Zs. Congrats to Rob for his great run and to Chuck for the fantastic car! They need to go another 1/2s faster to crack the top 10 for the TT list.
my350z Top25-1/4mile times Stay tuned for a better run at the next event when we turn the boost up and see if Rob can move up the list! It could be a good showdown, as Scott Smith has talked about bringing his high-HP 300ZX TT for the next event to tangle with Rob in Chuck’s TT 350Z.

The August and September dates were canceled due to excessive heat in the Sonoma area, and we’re hopeful things will be cooled down for our 4th event of the year on 10/20.

General information: The Wednesday Night Drags events are held at Sears Point Raceway on most Wednesday nights during the year. The gates open at 3:30 and racing is from 5-10pm.

Points:
Sears Point Wednesday events are bracket racing. If you show up early, each driver gets 4 or 5 practice runs before the sessions begin.

1 point: Once the sessions begin, each time you advance
(Sears Point staff puts a smiley face on your slip), you get one point. The goal is to NOT run against each other until absolutely necessary (i.e. everyone stages in the same lane until the final brackets)

3 points: Runner-up (loss in the finals) – trophy awarded

5 points: Winner of class – trophy awarded

Points are only valid on the dates ZCG goes to Infineon (4/7, 6/2, 7/7, 10/20, November date TBD ).

All competitors must sign waiver @ Z Car Garage before entering competition (or sign at track and give to Rob).

So put your excuses to rest and join us on October 20th for the 4th event of the year.
