a couple of the houston guys decided to go to houston raceway park tonite, so i thought i might as well try the track for the first time...i knew i would suck at driving, so i wasnt really trying to set any records or anything...i just wanted to make it a good learning experience, have some fun, and be safe...i was getting that weird feeling like i did at ZCON 2006 when it was my first time on a road course at MSR, haha (weird enough, my car # was the EXACT same as at zcon, #143) my best time was on my 2nd run-->13.89 @107.72...i was really hoping to make mid 13's...but i just kept getting wheel hop on my launches...some launches were better than others, but still need a lot of improvement...i was trying a few diff things, but i just couldnt the right start...if you look at my 60's, you'll see what i mean...i know a stage 3 TT can do much better if a good driver is behind the wheel...i know i've seen someone do low 13's before with intake,exhaust,ecu... the slip on the left was my first run...the slip on the right was my 2nd and best run of the night...i made 5 total passes... 
btw, i had the spare tire and the sub still in the car...with me in her, the car weighed 3715 lbs...i have bridgestone potenzas, but i didnt mess with the pressure in them...they were at stock levels... although i was hoping to do better, it was my first time ever at the track, so its okay...had a lot of fun with the other Z'ers and my Z had absolutely no issues...cant wait to go back and try again...thanks for reading
