Message There was a packed crowd there full of all types of cars, only thing wrong with it though was that I was the only Z! Other than my cousin(1992 240zx coupe) and friend(1991 240sx Fastback) there was only one other Nissan there, which was another 240sx with a Sr20Det engine in it. Being that it was my first time racing legally, I was pretty nervous seeing all the sooped up Integs, Civics, and Mustangs.

My first race was against the Sr20Det 240sx, of course I had no chance, but I pulled on him in the beggining until he left me during second gear. I was un-experienced in racing so I shifted too early and ended up not getting the speed I wanted. Dissapointingly I received my stub with a 17.1 @ 85mph, reaction time 1.1, hehe I had to laugh.

Having lost alot of confidence I munched on some corndogs and was pumped again. This time I raced a 95 Turbo Eclipse, again I had no chance of beating him. I for sure knew I couldn't seeing that he wore a freakin Bike helmet, meaning that he is able to run under 14 secs. My reaction time for this race was better at .933 and I was keeping up for awhile. This time I waited until the tip of the redline mark and shifted, which helped alot. I ended up in fourth gear couple meters away from finish. Seeing the 15.9 made me a happy boy. It may not be as good, I was content.

I was even more content when I seen sooped up Civic Si's and Mustangs with 16.5-17.0 marks. There was a Yellow Viper with Nos there that ran mid 10s. I really wanted to see other fellow Zs there. Overall Me and my friends came home glad that we had a new experience and seen what cars we thought were hella fast which really weren't.

Sorry if this was too long, I tried taking out as much nonsense as possible. BTW my friends Fastback got 16.3s and the coupe got 16.0s. I will try to post pics A.s.a.p
