Houston trackday. Nov. 10th at Houston Raceway Park
Anyone up for it? So we got 2
WebToker and SilverKnight
Sunday Night Instant Green Street Racing
Time: 4:00pm Central
Location: Drag Strip
Fun and grudge racing without the worries of a red light. Race your car in the most "on-the-street" style of racing available. When you pull up to the starting line in your own car, you will only get a green light letting you know to GO! test your reaction skills without the amber light warning or countdown.
Sunday night is a great night to bring out your street car or even full blown race car and run the quarter-mile. There are no times shown on the scoreboard, no one will announce times, but you will receive a win light and your own car's performance on the top end of the race track.
Times:
Gates open 4:00 pm
Lanes open 5:00 pm
Lanes close 10:00 pm
Prices:
Car and Driver $15.00

I'm going but I won't be meeting up at Best Buy, cuz I'm coming from Humble. We need to have a second meeting place at the track. I haven't been to the track so I don't know how big or small it is???

Argh ... It was cold and nice for the whole week until yesterday.
Today was ...
Straight from weather.com
69°F
Haze Feels Like
N/A°F
UV Index: 0 Minimal
Dew Point: 69°F
Humidity: 100%
Visibility: 2.5 miles
Pressure: 29.76 inches and steady
Wind: calm
At the time we ran, it was high 70s to low 80s ... the car's temp. gauge showed 77. We got water drops (not just condensation) on our top, trunk and windshield
my best time 15.2 with H/I and approx. 250-300lbs of dead weight in the trunk.
another CL-S with H/I and empty trunk hit 14.8
We talked to other guys and they all said they got bad times also.
Houston weather sucks

Yep the weather did suck, but I still had a blast! This was my 1st time at the track and I got 4 runs in. On my 1st run I ran 14.92 so I was happy cuz I broke into the 14s. My best run was14.80 @ 95.69 my 60 time was 2.280. This was against a modded Mustang GT with gears who ran a 14.1. My slowest run was 15.107 @ 94.97 with a terrible 60 at 2.52. On a good note a bone stock 6sp with dealer tags ran 14.5. I'll be going back when the temps get into the 40s.

My CLP - SLOW AS HELL!!!!! 15.3 with 18s, CAI/pulleys.... But everytime when you ran those guys with headers CLS... I lead them like 2-3 cars before they catch me from behind in 3rd... I guess thats the biggest diff in 3rd for a TypeS....
One note.... they all agree that they do not want to see me on the street lights to lights.... cuz last night, there was no tree... Line up, then green light unexpected.... My R/T were 0.61/0.72/0.57/0.62, I had 5 run total, everytime i jump on whoever line up with me... But then, my stupid J32A1 do wanna pull at the end.... so oh well.....
Actually, I am ok happy. why? not bad for a CLP Vs. CLS/CAI+header down the 1/4mile strip, took them till 80+ to catch me up! hehehehehe!
Silverknights - DIET!
BlackCLS - Cool dude, you hella nice, unlike those Preluda dude who have their head way up there!
