Mark, what kind of times did you get?
My 3 best runs:
60' 2.295 2.304 2.260
1/4 14.677 14.898 14.943
MPH 94.36 92.89 89.97
Serious problem with getting the street tires to hook-up. Several launches looked more like white smoke burnout than a launch. Also scratching into 2nd. I tried to start feathering the clutch more than just dumping it.
When new, the car was rated at 180HP at the crank, I need to dyno to verify, but should be putting out 235-250RWHP. I have the boost tuned to come on more softly for better grip on exiting turns. That may have hurt me some, but not as much as my inexperience. Was hoping for 14.4-14.5 which isn't going to happen until I figure this stuff out.

Last night running the Street Legal Drags at ORP:
SL 63 AMG (not 100% positive, it was a V8 Kompressor)
BMW M6 coupe
Yellow Porsche running 12's
7-8 Z's having way too much fun, including a 300ZXTT running 11.5's.
We were that last down the track. They had to make us leave.

on the left, click on Control Panel.
You will then have a choice of 4 options with one being Avatar.
Follow the instructions.
They do have to be small, so you might have to reduce the image to get it accepted. Holler if you need help with that part.

That was pretty cool. Loved him going up the spiral staircase.
I use to have a Trial Bike...pedal powered version, not motor...gravity was NOT my friend with that, so I sold it.

Doesn't look like they did any work to improve the hood seams you mentioned before.

That's got to be a bit embarassing. LOL! Too funny. Yes, we MUST poke fun at you now.
Someone will need to bring you bread crumbs so you can find your car.

OH NO...is this a case of mistaken identity with your own car???
If thats true, not so sure we are going to let you live this down that easily. I see at least a month of poking fun coming your way.

OK...another first for me to see in real life. Not too many out there and the craftsmanship was spot on for this conversion. I included it for those that can appreciate all of the hard work that went into this one.

I was hot, tired and in bad need of a shower and food. Sorry for the "misspeeling"
Here are the pics as promised.
The Bob Sharp 240Z Racer was an absolute highlight for me! Serious bit of racing history. Guy was super nice, but I failed to get his name. He personally knows the Indy guy with the BRE 240Z Racer #3. Now that would be very cool to see these two on the track together.
The Alfa was incredible. I just love me some Alfa. He came by the Z Show to invite everyone to join the Alfa group to some track days at Blackhawk Farms and Road America. www.caroc.com. I missed his name too, another nice guy, but we should look for him joining up on this site to represent the Chicago region.
