Default ZMAX Dragway

Anyone going to Test and tune there Saturday? I am going to go run GXP before I get new tires. Never run on a 1/4 mile track. Only 1/8 mile so should be fun.

My brother in law goes to Mooresville almost every thursday night. He has a blue 86 Monte Carlo.


Quarter mile is fun if you have a fast car, under 12 seconds. 1/4 pretty much sucks if you have a slow car.

It was badass. I got video of it on my HD Flip. Going to put on my youtub channel this weekend. Will take video of the gxp. The 4wide was so cool. But I think 2 wide is better.

One of these days when I'm visiting my parents I'll have to check it out. One day when I have a car fast enough to make it worth it.

It's been a long time since I've been to a 1/4 [Rockingham when I was 17], would love to hit up Zmax.

If you happen to see this car there, that'd be my big talkin' brother with my Camaro's old 305

Well went to track. Racing front wheel drive cars sucks. Way different then the Camaro. Only ran 14.33et. The rev limit on the car is 3000rpm so when it would spin it died until it would stick. But was fun. Been long time since i have raced.

I'll get to ZMax one of these days. My sister lives in Charlotte so it will make for a fun weekend trip.

That's cool Jimmy. Maybe you need to see if you can retune it to get rid of some of that stuff.
