Arizona Peeps....Firebird Raceway Tonight!

Me and a buddy of mine are going to firebird to run the 1/4 tonight. If anyones interested in going, please PM me and we can meet up.

My buddy will be running 24psi on his 88z, 4lbs more than ever before, so it should be interesting. I'll be running the CL as well trying to beat my PB of 14.8@98 so hopefully I'll have some good slips for tomorrow.

It's south on the 10 to Maricopa Rd and then a RT. You can't miss it. I know you live in Tempe and it's about 10-15mins from there. You should go.

Well, we went and I ended up running a new personal best of 14.6 @ 97 with a 2.3 60ft. I just can't get the car to hook up, even with 24psi in the front tires. Kanuzme, a new member here ran a 13.2@109 with the 88 Z.

He turned the boost up all the way and it should of been making 24, be he only saw 21. The car was really not running well...he said it felt like it was on 4-5 cylinders and he needed new spark plugs. His best run so far at 20psi was 13.1@119

Killer, come out for a vacation, oh wait, you living a vacation in FL.
