    My buddy Noah in his Comp-G, myself, and my buddy brad in his Sentra went to the track for the only "twilight" track day this year.

    Both of us started off horrible, Noah was having issues due to ZZP... Sold him POS bolts for his S/C spacer that were too short and came lose while running down the track. (not install error, I can assure you). So I won't mention the first run since both of us did terrible and improved a lot by the second run, getting faster each run after that.

    My friend Gabe in his 97 GTP showed up a bit late, only getting one run in, but still an impressive run at that haha, beating both Noah and my best of the night.

    Noah's Best was 14.2 @ 96
    Mine was 14.5 @ 93
    Gabes only and best was a 13.9 @ 99
    My buddies Sentra ran a 16.7 @ 86

    DA for the day was 4000feet. Weather was 103 and by the end of the night, 89.



    Anyhow, here are the pics

    That mustang was scarey as ****. Popping like 4 wheelies down the track right next to me... Incase anyone is wondering. This is what I raced that last run


    The whole day he was in the 11's, but for some reason it was acting up running me. Still did a 14.1. Blew passed me like I was sitting still in the 1/8th

    That run 14.1. I think he did a 11.2 earlier in the day. If you listen in to the announcer on my in car vid. The Mustang he mentions that ran a 11.7 was that 5.0

    Yeah same. I think I could drop a few tenths if I could fix my launch... I couldn't hook in first, even with the hot ass ground and warming up the tires.

    Was checking out my time slips from my first trip to the track, where my best was a 14.673 @ 93. I had a way better launch hooking right away and getting a 2.1 60ft.

    Second trip my 14.551 run from this last saturday I had a 2.3 60ft and still had a better 330, which of course my numbers continued to improve down the track. I'd be happy to get to atleast a 14.2, but chances are I won't be heading to the track for a bit so by next time I should be intercooled and on a 3.2 as well as dyno tuned. So that should get me in the 13's easy

    nice runs dude, sounds like a fun night.

    btw, where and for how much did you get your headlights? i've been looking around for a set of the black housings with clear corners. they're hard to find

    edit: upon closer inspection, i think they have the amber corner
