My Z's first track day

My Z's first track day
I know it's not much, but I was fairly impressed with the times, considering I am the former owner of a slow, blown 97 Stang GT...
I had BFG DR's on and babied her out of the whole, slipping the clutch at 2500 rpm, and did a 1.98 60', 8.2@89 660, and 12.71@109 1320 =)
I only ran 4 times, and my mph varied: I had 2-111's, 1-109, and 1-113 (that was on a 12.83 run).
Not to shabby for a gal, eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Am going again this weekend and hoping to get into the 12.5's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: My Z's first track day
Even better, you're from Raleigh!! Where do you work? I believe Fayetteville is the only test and tune this weekend. (Sunday 1-5). Where do you race? I have a 99Z with even less bolt ons looking for a good track day soon. I work at Autopark Jeep in service.

Re: My Z's first track day
I raced her at Fayetteville...and I will be there again tomorrow about 12:30.
She dyno'd 344.5 rwhp/ 366.8 tq 2 weeks ago =)
We're meeting up at exit 312 (clayton/hwy 42) off of I40 at 11:30 tomorrow morning if you are going...or just look for a blonde in a maroon car at the track and come say hi.

Re: My Z's first track day
2 thumbs up! Great choice on car (fellow hardtop owner) and color (wife has a maroon z convertible).
I guess you had favorable weather? (113 traps are very good).

Re: My Z's first track day
Hey, I pm'd ya. I won't be able to get out Sunday- wife has to work, so I have kid duty. Plan to get out this Thursday if Fayettenam is open. If not, weekend after next for sure. Where did you dyno yours?

Re: My Z's first track day
I've been to the Rock but never raced there...we always race at Fayetteville b/c it hooks so much better, and b/c most of us are in the 11-12 sec range and too cheap to buy a helmet (which the Rock requires now).

Re: My Z's first track day
Nice times--Nice color. NONE of those Maroon cars around up here in New England.....My '02 SOM SS would be Monterey Maroon IF it was available. Best wishes. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: My Z's first track day
Good job with Keenan and his Cobra with 4.30's. Tired of hearing about him. You need some 4.11s and a hpp3 and you'll really be off and running. I plan to go to Fayetteville Thursday weather permitting.

Re: My Z's first track day
It was nice to meet you! Hahah you heard about me and ol' Keenan??? Did word get around about that? He called me up the next night saying I didnt beat him and making excuses like "I was on my 18's and street tires"...but i was on my 16's and hard RSA's....Everyone flogged on him that night, but I'm the only one who raced him from a dig =)

Re: My Z's first track day
TJ, I'm the bald guy. You told me about Keenan. I'm just tired of hearing about him. Can't wait til I get my 4.11s and clutch. Hope it doesn't rain this thursday <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
