Went to E-town, AGAIN, for some test & tune runs. Stripped the TT to get the weight down and try to dip into the 12's for this weekend's bracket racing. Well, I didn't quite get there. Total weight with me in the car tipped the scale @ 3570 lbs w/ 1/4 tank gas. And the weather wasn't exactly perfect for racing. The 4 H's: hazy, hot, & humid. Almost 90 degrees out. That's why I dropped weight, cause the air is gonna suck this weekend. My stats for tonight: #1: 13.084 @ 109.42, r/t=.543, 2.248 60', water temp @ start=180, @ end=194, time=9:04pm #2: 13.038 @ 109.59, r/t=.669, 2.223 60', water temp @ start=182, @ end=196, time=10:15pm #3: 13.154 @ 108.73, r/t=.586, 2.251 60', water temp @ start=199, @ end=214, time=10:35pm That last run had absolutely no cool down time. Did the 2nd run, came straight back to the staging lanes, and they sent us back out to the track. Didn't even shut off the motor prior to the 3rd run. Look at the water temp after that run. 214!!! DAMN. That's not cool, literally. Look at the power loss! Also, only 1 other Z32 out, a red TT. Never seen the car before. Chatted w/ the owner(Jeff) for only about a minute or two before I had to jump in the car. He's stage 3 w/ downpipes and I think he said his best tonight was a 13.2 @ 106 w/ a 2.2 or 2.3 60'. He's still learning how to launch the Z32. No easy task. Some pics:
 
Not much else exciting. I'm ready for this weekend. Let it be Saturday already!!!
