Guys.

I want to try to make it to Carlsbad on Oct. 25th... will anybody be interested in coming out there as well?

FYI.... Carslbad is about 25 miles north of San Diego in Southern California.

I think if we can make it down there by 11:00am... track opens for drags shortly after.

Sorry for posting on Car Talk... but nobody really looks at the Sanctioned Racing section!!

 

once done move it there where it belongs

 

Yes of course Sir... immediately!

 

I may be down

 

Hence the early notice... let's try to make this a SoCal meet as well if the day is good for enough folks.

 

Since Allmotor has done so much research let's leave it here for a while. That's right around my Mom's birthday but I will try and be there w/cameras!
Scott, bring your dads' bimmer

 

Mike... it will cool if you folks from 'down there' make it

 

what the elevation at that track?

 

It's right around sea-level, hence the reason I am going there. It's not the greatest track, but I think the fact that its sea-level outweighs the 1/10th or whatever the track conditions will suck out of my E.T.

 

good luck, maybe u can beat your 12.9 turbo time cause of your new wheels/tire combo

 

it sits @ ~1k feet. track sux for traction unless you have slicks or DRs.

 

Really? I have always thought its sea-level - hmmm that sucks!

 

one the guys who races for $$ had an altimeter.

 

Well... we can always correct for the altitude... I belive 1K feet is around 1/10th.

 

the track i run at is 600ft above sea level, does that make my 14.27 a 14.21??

 

I might be aable to come and watch you run... I dunno wtfn i fjsust typed . II love drunkn girtls jumping in sawinmming pools. ahahajkaa

 

 

Oct 25th is 2 days after my b-day, I whould love to go. I'm going to try and talk to this guy in my complex. He has an 03 CL-S white with some Racing Hart c-2's I think. I live in Otay Ranch. Keep me updated.. Thanks for the space

 

I might be able to attend. How far is it from ucsd and sdsc?

 

Track is only about 30 minutes from San Diego.

I would like to go. I'll bring my Accord for the pit-car if you want to store your stock wheels in it when you run...

"General Admission $15, Race Entry $10" Does that means it costs LESS to race, or is that in addition to the general admission?

 

I think its $15 to watch and $25 to race or something like that. I have to take a lot of junk with me... floor jack, jack-stands, blah, blah, blah - usually just keep 'em there, nobody really steals anything (I hope!!).

 

y dont u drive there w/ the et streets on?

 

I can't make it(wife and kids b-days). But if you wanna practice up at LACR, I'll probably be there on the 10th. Gregshin and some LS1 and GTP guys will probably also be there. Be fun to run different makes in the grudges.

I'll post again when it gets closer.

No, it has to do with Barometric pressure. Generally the baro decreases as you increase in altitude so the altitude correction works OK. But not at low altitudes. In fact, I suspect that your 14.27 was run with a baro above 30 inHg (29.92 is the average baro at sea level and what the altitude corection is based on) and if so you would have a positive correction to maybe 14.35.

 

Hey I may be down for this..... I've never been to a track and would like to see what me and my baby can do.....

BTW, if I do run, please don't hold it against any other Z owners, I can tell you now, I ain't the best of launchers so don't mind the times I get......:P :o

 

I'm up for it. Should have the SC installed by then

 

All right... sounds good. I will repost when the day draws closer. It will be nice to have a variety of cars at the same track on the same day - then we can really compare apples to apples

NA CL-S
SC CL-S
NA 350Z
etc....
