Past "WHAT'S NEW" Updates

6/16/2009
* n/a

--- Greg @ SpecialtyZ wins the IDRC West Coast Nationals. This is the 4th year in a row that a Z32 from the SpecialtyZ shop has won the annual event. Check out SeeedyROM's post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. Congrats to the SoCal crew at SpecialtyZ. Awesome to see these guys still representing at the dragstrip! Keep it up fellas. And, no details yet on Greg's fastest run. So he's not on the list yet for this year.



6/14/2009
* Update to TT-Street class

--- Sorry for the late update for Brad's runs from a couple of weeks ago. I'm busy on another side project. More on that later. Anyway, Brad made a 10-sec run back on 5/31 at the Import Face-Off event in Alabama. But I'm still waiting of a timeslip pic with the details. Here's his initial post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. But here's a vid were he ran an 11.17 run: CLICK-HERE. So I have this time on the list right now. Congrats to Brad! --- More racing news in the next couple of days...



5/31/2009
* Update to Arnel's cars Drag List

--- Another quick side note. Took the MINI out to the dragstrip a couple weeks back and with the recent JCW factory mods, it ran a 15.05 @ 91 mph. It was pretty warm out and the motor was heat soaked after sitting in traffic on the ride to the track. It'll easily tun 14's on a cooler day.



4/28/2009
* Update to Outlaw/Modified class

--- Check it out! Our first 9-sec time this year! It comes from Randy(citation). That's deep into the 9's and a super quick 143 MPH. See his timeslip pic from his updated entry on the Outlaw/Modified class. A definite congrats to Randy. That's a major accomplishment there. --- In other racing news, Steve Melson's 1000 HP Z32 snapped the crank at the dragstrip. Check out Machtavian's post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. And more on Steve's car here: CLICK-HERE. I hope to see a future timeslip from Steve's car!



4/12/2009
* Update to Arnel's cars Drag List

--- Just a quick side note. Got the MINI Cooper back from the dealership a couple of weeks ago after getting some JCW mods installed which has bumped up the HP from 172 to 190 HP. GO MINI!



4/11/2009
* Addition to Quick Links section

--- Got an honorable mention post here for Jason300zxTT who made a decent 1/8 mile run. Unfortunately it won't make the drag lists because it needs to be a 1/4 mile run. Check out HIS POST HERE on the TT.net forum which contains a link to an awesome YouTube video. Hope to see a full 1/4 mile pass soon. --- And in the "Quick Links" section, a link to pics of the nhra-approved rollbar setup I had on my old TT. Safety first!



3/31/2009
* Addition to 2009 TT-Street list
* Update to All-Time_best list

--- Tony(phillyz) does it again. Yet another 10 sec timeslip. But the surpise this time is the amazing 133 mph trap speed. All in a very sleeper lookig Z32! This first outing of this year already betters his best from last year. So it also updates his time on the All-Time-Best list. Congrats to Tony!



3/29/2009
* Addition to 'Quick Links' section

--- Real quick tonight. I just hopped on Facebook.com a couple of weeks ago. And of course, like any newbie, I've caught the bug. Anyway, for those also on Facebook with a passion for Z32 drag racing, I just created a group. So, on facebook.com, please search for "z32racing.com" and you'll find the group "Z32racing.com Nissan 300ZX drag racers". Hope to see some of you there. --- That's it for now.



3/26/2009
* Addition to 2009 TT-Street list

--- Been a while since the last update. But we finally have another addition to the TT-Street class. Rob(SpdCrazy) posted a low 12-sec time with Sport 500 turbos. Decent run. But he has awesome MPH for some mid 11-sec times. Also click on the video icon on his entry on the list to see some vids of his runs. Hope to see quicker runs from him in the future.



1/31/2009
* Addition to 2009 Outlaw list
* Updates to All-Time lists

--- Last weekend, Randy(citation) posted a very nice low-low 10-sec time. His time of 10.03 is the first on the Outlaw list for this year due to the TH400 domestic tranny he is using. And this causes some change to the All-Time lists. Randy moves in the #3 spot for all-time Outlaws and then Seb comes back from grave and takes the #10 spot on the all-time TT-Street class. So, congrats to Randy. And I look forward to a 9-sec time in the future. Oh, also click on the video icon on his list entry.



1/25/2009
* Correction in All-Time-Best list.

--- Another quick update today. A blast from the past, 2003 in this case. Turns out I had the wrong YouTube video for Lazcano's 7.09 run on the All-Time-Best list. --- That's it for now.



1/24/2009
* Addition to 'Quick Links' section
* Cosmetic change to 'Past Years List' section

1/5/2009
* Updated 'Past Z32 Drag Lists' page

--- Quick one tonight. I've now added the 2008 drag lists to the 'Past Z32 Drag Lists' page. Again, the 2008 lists are locked now. But the blank 2009 lists are open now. So for you folks in the warmer climates, let's start to see those times!



1/4/2009

11/23/2008
*Update to All-Time-Best list

--- I forgot an item from my update this morning. Turns out Tony(phillyz) sneaks onto the All-Time-Best TT-Street class bumbing Seb of the list. Sorry Seb. --- And Greg & the SpecialtyZ crew were at the IDRC event in Cali this weekend. Here are a couple of teaser posts on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE and CLICK-HERE.

*Update to TT Street Class
*Added mission statement abobe

--- I'd like to congratulate Tony(phillyz) for entering into the exclusive 10-second club with a 10.81 timeslip! See his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. Nice 132 mph on the other timeslip. And that moves him to the #3 spot on the TT-street class, just edging out Randy(citation).



11/18/2008
*Addition to TT Street Class

--- Finally got another addition to the lists. This time it's Noah (driggers) getting in the #10 spot on the TT Street Class list. For his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. Very respectable time for stock turbos and on his first time out. Congrats to him for getting on this year's list.



11/16/2008
*Addition to 'Quick Links' section

--- Sorry for the late update. But that chute is now on Greg's monster Z. Check it out the pic and the write-up by Seedy: CLICK-HERE. And Greg clicked off another 9.30 run @ 147 mph. Very very nice. Again, I wish him luck in getting into the 8's. I know it's just inevitable now. --- And in other news, Brad@ZSolutions represented the Z32 at another Pink-All-Out event. Check out his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. Again, thanks to Brad for representing the Z32. Very nice times from him. Hope to get a timeslip pic from him soon so I can get him on the lists.



11/03/2008
*Addition to 'Quick Links' section

--- Another quick update. Check out this vid on YouTube of Greg's car in the finals of Battle of the Imports event: CLICK-HERE. Yeah, he didn't win. But it's still an impressive 9.8 run with a not so hot 60' time. Plus it's way off his 151 mph best of the weekend. Again, he had to back off cause he didn't have a chute.



10/29/2008
*Addition to 'Quick Links' section

--- Quick update. Just wanted to report that Greg(specialty-Z) will be installing a parachute on this monster Z32. Again, He was told to slow down below 150 mph, as per NHRA and track safety rules. Well, with the chute in place and back to slicks on 15 inch rims, I'm now looking forward to seeing an 8-second timeslip from Greg! --- And for more on Greg's car, check out Dean's post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE.



10/26/2008
*Update to TT Street Class in 2008 List
*Update to TT Street Class in All-Time List

Plus, there's more left in the car considering that he was on drag radials. And he's just destroying the rest of the field this year in the TT Street Class. Also running away from the crowd in the All-Time list. Congrats to Greg & crew!



9/21/2008
*Additions to 'Past Drag Lists' page

Check out his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. Hope to see him in the 9's very soon. Good luck to him!



9/13/2008
*Additions to 'Past Drag Lists' page

--- Another old school update. This time it's on the legendary Cheetah originally owned by Tim Liess and then eventually Yellow-Supra. Decent 1/4 mile drag times from a Z32 in the late 1990's! And again, if you're on old school drag racer from back in the day and you still have your ancient Z32 timeslips, please take a pic and send it over to me: arnellabrado@gmail.com



9/1/2008
*Addition to 'Past Drag Lists' page

So if you're on old school drag racer from back in the day and you still have your ancient Z32 timeslips, please take a pic and send it over to me: arnellabrado@gmail.com



8/30/2008
*Addition to Quick Links section
*Rescan of recent MINI Cooper timeslip.

--- Want to see how much power is needed to run a 9-sec 1/4 mile time in a Z32 300ZX car? How about 732 rear wheel horse power. Check out Eric(z324u)'s dyno graph: CLICK-HERE. That's some nice HP! Hope to see a new timeslip for Eric soon.



8/21/2008
*Update to Arnel's Cars Drag List section.

--- OK, since there's been no Z32 racing in about a month, here's some other 1/4 mile action for you. Took out my turbo MINI Cooper S to the dragstrip last night. Had to learn how to launch this wheel spinning beast! On my 3rd run, I posted a blistering 15.49 @ 88 mph, bone stock. Factory everything, no mods ... yet. :-) See my timeslip pic in the "Arnel's Cars Drag List" section for more car info and run stats info.



8/20/2008

*Cosmetic changes to Past Drag Lists page.
*Cosmetic changes to Arnel's Cars section.

8/11/2008
*Update to All-Time-Best Outlaw class.

--- Thanks goes out to ZIL32 for finding this old video of the Escort Racing NOS'ed NA on YouTube: CLICK-HERE. Check it out. Great vid of some racing action in Japan. And I've updated the All-Time-Best entry for sana@escort on the Outlaw class to include the video link.



8/10/2008
*Addition to 2008 Outlaw class.
*Update to All-Time-Best Outlaw class.
*Addition to Quick Links section.

--- Check out Seedy's post on the TT.net forum a couple of weeks about about a new entry at the dragtime.com website: CLICK-HERE. Awesome car, awesome vids and awesome time. There's more than enough info here to add this car to the Outlaw list. And he even gets on the All-Time-Best list. Congrats to these guys. Hope to hear more about this car in the future.



8/4/2008
*Addition to TT-Street class list.

--- I'm happy to say that we have a new racer on the TT-Street class list. Squeezing into the #9 spot is Jason300zxTT with a very respectable 12.41 elapsed time on stock turbos. Here's his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK-HERE. And he's done a couple og 1/8 mile runs earlier in the year: CLICK-HERE and CLICK-HERE. So finally, I'm able to add him to my 1/4 mile list. Congrats, Jason! Hope to see him better that time in the future!



8/3/2008
*Addition to Quick Links section.

--- And an update from the Pinks event. The top 16 was from the 9-second class of cars. So Tony was not in the show. But here are 2 camera phone quality videos of Tony's 2 runs: CLICK-HERE and CLICK-HERE. And here's a good compilation of the cars and some runs from the event, along with the eventual winner: CLICK-HERE. Again, it was awesome seeing Tony in the event and representing the Z cars.



7/27/2008
*Update to "All-Motor Class" section.

--- Sorry for the lack of updates. But to make up for it, I've got some pics for you. It's Tony(phillyz) at E-town,NJ for the "Pinks All Out" event yesterday. Here ya go: CLICK HERE. Again, I don't know yet if me made into the show of 16 cars. There were a ton of 9-second domestics. And not very many imports. It was just a sea of muscle cars. But it was awesome to see Tony running some very respectiable 11-sec times. Maybe his last pass was a 10-sec. But no times were posted and no timeslips were given for the 2nd runs with Rich Christensen arm dropping the starts. :-( More details to come when Tony posts.



--- And then to keep the TV show theme going, here's Christina(z_trbl_mkr) on the Pass-Time show from a few months back: CLICK HERE. It's not your blistering 9-sec pass. But it's still nice to see a Z32 on TV getting some show time. And I've updated her time on the All-Motor drag list.

6/15/2008
*Addition to "TT Street Class" section.

--- Greg's 9 second NO-NOS pass video is out!. Huge thanks goes out to DrDCanAceU and SeedyROM for their hard work to get the video up very quickly. See the post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. And listen to that beast! I love it! Again, congrats to Greg and his crew for taking the top spot in the TT-Street class once again! Looking forward to some 8's! --- Oh, and once I have the timeslip, then I'll update his All-Time-Best list entry.



6/14/2008
*Addition to "TT Street Class" section.

--- BREAKING NEWS Greg Dupree in the 9's again. And this time, easily running a 9.80 @ 144 mph. No nitruous! Check out Seedy's post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. Congrats to Greg and his crew! I'll get him on the drag list once I have the timeslip and details on the car's new setup. --- But there is a racer I can add to the list now. It's Dane(specNATT(Houston)) just making the list with a 12.95 run. It's from his new white TT auto. For more info on his dragstrip passes along pics pics and a dyno char, lick on the date link on his entry in the TT Street Class drag list. Congrats to him for getting in the #9 spot.



6/1/2008
*Addition to "Quick Links" section.

--- John(icsamerica) has posted some pics of the aftermatch of this crash at the dragstrip. And he's parting out the car. See his new post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE.



5/31/2008
*Update to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"

--- BREAKING NEWS: John(icsamerica) crashed his TT at the dragstrip last night. Fortunately, he is OK. See his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. So his Z days may be over. But not his racing days. I'd like to wish him good luck going forward. --- And on a lighter note, racing continues. Agner.S(CT) moves up 1 spot on the TT Street class into the #6 spot when we bettered is old 12.78 time with a 12.29 pass last weekend. Congrats to him. Hpoe to see him continue climbing the list.



5/22/2008
*Addition to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"

--- And we have another racer on the TT-Street class list coming in on the #8 spot. Kevin (Summeronthechain(MN)) just gets on the list with a decent 12.85 run in his stage III TT. Remember you have to run at least 12's to get on the list. Check out his TT.net post: CLICK HERE. And he's got a vid too. Nice drivin'.



5/14/2008
*Addition to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"

--- We have a racer from the past back with us. Randy(Citation) was last on the lists back in 2005. He's also on the All-Time-Best list in the #9 spot in the TT Street class. Well, again, he's back and exactly where he left off. He's on this year's list in the #2 spot with a 10.82 run! And if you look at the mph, it's a bit low for that ET. So he's got more in the car. Hope to see a faster timeslip soon.



5/7/2008
*Addition to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"

--- Breaking news from the TT.net forum. The post subject reads "Sneak Peek of the [SpecialtyZ] Beast": CLICK HERE. That's a beast alright. Thumbs up on the FMIC. Diggin' the skinnys up front. Can't wait to get more details.



--- And we have a new racer in the #2 spot on the TT Street class. From out of nowhere, James (speedy1003(in)) posts a low-low 11-sec time. But look at the MPH, 135! That's enough power for deep in the 10's. Congrats on that sweet run. And James will be working on getting better tires. So watch out Octavian, here comes James. Here's his quick post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE.

4/30/2008
*Updates to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"
*Update to "All-Time-Best" list

--- Octavian has posted a video of his 10.5 run from the 19th. Here's his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. Crazy launch and nice run! But unfortunately, no timeslip pic. And like I mentioned the other day, this new time moves him up to the #6 spot on the All-Time-Best list. Another round of congrats are in order!



---Got an updated pic from Anger.S(CT). A great shot at the dragstrip. For a bigger pic, click on his name on his entry on the TT Street class drag list.

4/28/2008
*Update to "All-Time-Best" list

--- I just realized that with Machaivan's 10.61 run last week, it actually moves him up on the All-Time-Best list from the #10 spot to the #7 spot. Congrats to him. And actually he'll be moving up again. He recently bettered that time with a 10.5x time. Check out his post here on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. --- And in other not-z-related news, here's a bigger pic of the thumbnail pic of my MINI Cooper S from this past weekend: CLICK HERE. A month old now and 400 more miles for the motor break-in period. Then she'll pay a quick visit to the dragstrip. :-)

--- Agner.S(CT) joines the TT Street class list by making a 12-sec pass in his stage 3 Z. Here's his post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. He's working on getting an 11-sec timeslip this year. Good luck to him!



---Christina(z_trbl_mkr) was able to be Speed Channel's "Pass Time" show a couple of days ago. To cut to the chase, she was able to post a 15.1 time. For all of the details along with some pics, check out her post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. But I'm gonna need more details on the run before I can update her entry on the list. We'll be waiting for the show to air on TV. Great job, Christine!

*Happy BDay to Z32racing.com!

--- Just a tad late with this, but happy belated birthday to Z32racing.com! Earlier in the week, the site turned 10 years old. Can't believe it's been that long. Also as icing on the cake, we also broke through the 200,000 hits mark at just about the same time. Pretty amazing coincidence! Let's see if we can go another 10 years. --- More updates to come...



4/26/2008
*Addition to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"

--- Tony(phillyz) is back in the news. He made a couple of passes at Cecil as few days ago. Check out his quick post here on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. Great start on his path to the PINKS event at Englishtown,NJ in July. Cant' wait till July! --- In other not-z-related news, I've updated my mods list for my new MINI.

4/24/2008
*Addition to "2008 Twin-Turbo Street Class"

Check out his little post on th TT.net forum by clicking on the date part of his entry on the TT Street Class drag list. Won't be hard to find.

--- Well, Tony(phillyz) has spilled the beans. He's gonna be in the PINKS ALL OUT event this summer at the Englishtown,NJ dragstrip. Check out his quick post here on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. Congrats to him for making the event! Way to represent the import cars, especially the Z32 cars! Good luck to him! --- And in other news, I've updated my MINI Copper mods list at the MINI2.com website. Clink on the MPH link for the car entry in the "Arnel's past & current cars Drag List" section. --- That's it for now.



4/2/2008
*Addition to TT-Street class.

--- OK, I'm surprised to see the slow rate of timeslips thus far this year, especially from the California crew. But here's Scott to the rescue. He just gave me another one of this 11-sec timeslips. He's top of the TT list right now. Keep it up Scott and thanks for representing the Z32 at the dragstrip. --- And I'll have another update tomorrow.



3/25/2008
*Addition in "Arnel's past & current cars"

--- Real quick. Picked up my new ride tonight! I'm back in the MINI, after selling my '03 two years ago. It's a brand new '08 Cooper S and black again. But this time it's a turbo baby! And auto cause I will be bracket racing this down the dragstrip. Only pic I have is from the dealer this past weekend. The stock wheels will be coming off and then slapping on my old wheels from the '03. That's it! --- Now I want to see more Z32 1/4 mile times!



3/17/2008
*Addition to All-Motor class.
*Addition to Quick Links section.

--- It's been very quiet with almost no racing. But Christina(z_trbl_mkr) has broken the silence with some all-motor action. She's posted a 15.5 sec time with her absolutely beautiful white NA! And to see her post on the TT.net forum, click on the date link on the her entry in the All-Motor class list below. Hopefully we'll see her improve on this time as the year progresses. --- That's it for now.



2/25/2008
*Edits in "Arnel's past & current cars" section

--- Quick update tonight. Englishtown,NJ dragstrip opens for the new racing season this Saturday 3/1/08. So for you racers in the local NYC metro area, let's see some timeslips already! CLICK HERE to go to the E-town website. And also note that the PINKS TV show will be coming to E-town on July 25-26. Should be a fun fun event!



2/22/2008
* Created "Arnel's past & current cars" section
* Addition to Quick Links section.
* Changed site title to "Z32racing.com 2.0"

--- Since recently bringing back this site, I haven't had time to work on the other site I was going to start: my www.arnelrace.com website. It would have strictly been for my drag racing efforts for the past 10 years. It's alotta work that's now been taken up by this site. So for now, I've added a new section below called "Arnel's past & current cars Drag List". It shows all of the cars I've owned worthy of taking to the drag strip along with their best timeslips. And if you click on the date for the 3 Z's I've extensively raced, you'll see my history of racing them (not so much on the vert tho). --- Anyway that's it for now, as I look out to 6 inches of snow on the ground and still falling. :-(

--- Got another update! This time it's to announce the upcoming Z-Nationals in GA next month, March 28-30. Here's the website for more info: CLICK HERE. They will be holding there drag racing event at the NOPI Georgia drag event @ Alanta Dragway. More info here: CLICK HERE. I hope to hear about some Z32 cars participating in the racing action. Good luck to all racers!

* Additions to Quick Links section.

--- Just some racing news from the import / sport-compact drag racing world. If you don't already know, the NHRA Import drag racing series is gone. Read about here: CLICK HERE. It's now merged into the NOPI drag racing series. And personally, I'm sorry to see NHRA Import go away. I liked their format better than NOPI's. Oh well. Anyway, go the Quick Links section below to see NOPI's website and another link to their forums. --- This is all for today.



2/17/2008
* Additions to Quick Links section.

--- It's the quiet before the storm. We're on the tail end of Winter with Spring rapidly approaching. Guys are getting their Z32s ready for the dragstrip. And one of those guys is GregD(Specialty-Z)! Check out his recent post on the TT.net forum: CLICK HERE. Can't wait to see what numbers this thing runs!



2/2/2008
* Addition to Outlaw/Modified class.

--- Sorry for the delay in updates. But here's a good one. Eric(z324u) has thrown down the number again. He's off to a blistering start with a 9.6 @ 140mph. And that's with a tranny that's not quite 100%. Click on the date on Eric's entry in the Outlaw drag list to go to his TT.net forum post. Congrats to him for still a very very fast time. --- And I know it's still cold out there. But for those that can get to an open dragstrip, let's see more timeslips. That's it for now.



1/20/2008
* Addition to TT-Street class.

--- Let the racing begin! We have our first racer on the drag lists. Nick(lakerdude42) is on the list with a respectable 12.28 elapsed time. And I'm sure he's got more in the car. So we should expect quicker times from him throughout the year.



1/11/2008
* Additions to Quick Links section.

--- Just a quick one tonight. If you're a local to the Englishtown,NJ Raceway Park dragstrip and you plan on racing allot this year then for a mere $5.00 you can have your very own 2008 permanent racing number. CLICK HERE to download the PDF file of the form you need to print, fill-out, and mail back to E-town. But the deadline for doing this is 2/6/2008. That's less than a month away. And I too have to send mine in... --- That's it for now.



1/1/2008
* Created 2008 Drag List.

--- Happy New Year!!! Another year has come and gone which now closes out the 2007 drag list. Congrats to all the Z32 racers who made the list! --- So here we are at the start of 2008. That means starting fresh with a clean slate. Let's see another year of great racing action! Looking forward to seeing the Z32 community pushing the envelope again. Good luck to all racers. And more importantly, stay safe out there!



12/30/2007
* Added site banner at bottom of page.
* Updated Class descriptions in All-Time-Best.

--- Check out what Eric(z324u) and Z1 Motorsports are up to. CLICK HERE for Eric's post on the TT.net forum. Very nice indeed! --- And note that any mods like this will put you in the Outlaw/Modified class. Fortunately, Eric is already in that class. --- Also, if you haven't seen yet, I have the class descriptions/rules in the All-Time-Best drag list. Take a look. --- Oh and have a safe & happy new year's eve everyone!



12/29/2007
* Update to "All-Time-Best Racers" list.
* Addition to "Quick Links" section.
* Cosmetic changes.

--- Another blast from the past update. This one is about the Escort Racing PRO-Import drag car. I realized I did not have their best time on the All-Time-Best list. So i did a ton of research on the net. Here's what I came up with. Their best pass is 7.409 @ 183 mph. Very respectable for 2001. CLICK HERE for some event coverage from back in 2001 when they won an NHRA Import event. I've also updated the drag lists with Shiobara's driver info. Click on the MPH link on their entry in the All-Time-Best list. Then CLICK HERE for some info on Escort Racing back then. And CLICK HERE for a little interview with Shiobara by EvoTuners.com back in 2002. --- That's it for now.



12/27/2007
* Cosmetic changes.

--- Unfortunately, no changes to the drag lists from the Socal guys this past weekend. Machtavian with so much power is breaking parts again. You can read more about it from his TT.net forum post: CLICK HERE. --- And thanks goes out to zfreak(Denver) for making a video of grep@specialtyz's appearance on RedlineTV a few weeks back. Here's the post on TT.net: CLICK HERE. --- And lastly, Happy Holidays to all!!!



12/23/2007
* Addition to "2007 Z32 Drag Lists".

--- Got a drag list submission from Turbogage a few days ago. It's a low 11-sec run which puts him in the #4 spot on the TT-Street list. Congrats to Matt for a nice run. He's got a video too. Check it out. --- And some of the SoCal guys were supposed to hit the dragstrip this weekend. I'm waiting for their report.



12/20/2007
* Changes to "2007 Z32 Drag Lists".
* Changes to "All-Time Best Racers".

--- Fixing an error on the lists tonight. Turns out moreboost is not running a stock tranny. He actually has a Ford C4 automatic. So that puts him in the Outlaw/Modified class into the #2 spot for this year's 2007 list. Then over on the All-Time-Best lists, again he moves into the Outlaw/Modified class but now allows machtavian to take the #10 spot on the TT-Street class. Congrats to Machtavain. Lucky bastage! :-)



12/16/2007
* Addition to "Quick Links" section.

--- Got email from Piranha(AZ) about his run from last year which I'm not updating into the closed-out 2006 drag list. But it is a very respectable 12.09 time on stock turbos. Only seems right to give him an honerable mention by posting here and showing off his video: click here. Decent run, Shane! Nice work.



12/15/2007
* Changes to "TT Street Class" list.
* Additions to "Quick Links" section.

--- I just got Greg's timeslip from their SoCal dragstrip outing last weekend. And I'm happy to say, Greg is back in the 9's and tops the TT-Street class once aagin. All this with the beefed-up stock auto tranny. Congrats to Greg! And click HERE for his little write-up on the TT.net forum. We should be seeing some exciting stuff from this car in 2008!



12/13/2007
* Changes to "TT Street Class" list.

--- Just a quick update today. If you remember, Scotts94z32 pointed out that Aumvovr had a faster time than what I orginally had posted. Aumvovr's new time actually just edged out Scott's time by 0.002 with an 11.367 ET. Well Scott went back to the dragstrip last weekend with a coupe of other Socal racers and he was able to post an 11.33 ET which beats Aumvovr. Congrats to Scott for taking back the #6 spot on the TT Street class list. Oh, and Scott did have another pass with a 132 MPH trap speed. So we should see 10's from him next year! --- CORRECTION: Scott is in the #5 spot. DOH! :-)



12/09/2007
* Changes to "All-Time-Best TT Street" list.
* Additions to "Quick Links" section.

--- Yet another blast-from-the-past update. I recently dug up the video I took at E-town,NJ back in 2003 when Jorge Lazcan drove his Pro Import 300ZX to a 7.09 elapsed time. The video I took ended up being the fastest run the car would ever make: Here's the video: click HERE. Also click HERE and HERE for pics of the drag event. Also, click on Lazcano's MPH link on his time entry on the All-Time-Best list and it'll take you to his driver profile from the nhraimport.com website. Click on the date and it'll take you to the results page from that nhra import drag event. And finally, also from that site, there is a quick report on the demise of the famed drag car: click HERE. :-(



12/06/2007
* Changes to "All-Time-Best TT Street" list.
* Changes to "2007 TT Street" section.

--- Another blast-from-the-past update. This time it's about Kyle(SGP), ex-SGP actually. Anyway, I added a video link to Kyle's entry on the All-Time-Best list. It's one of the burnout's during Kyle's visit to Englishtown,NJ back in 2000. And the quick video: click HERE. Also click HERE and HERE for pics of the drag event. --- In other racing news, turns out there is a video of aumvovr with a faster time. He's on the same video with machtvian making his 10.8 pass. Aumvovr ran an 11.367 and moves him up 1 spot on the list while knocking down scotts94z32. And ironically it was Scott who informed me about this!



12/04/2007
* Changes to "All-Time-Best" list.
* Additions to "Quick Links" section.

--- I was recently informed of a descrepancy on the All-Time-Best list. The bad news: I completely forgot that Travis(zemaestro) had a domestic tranny for his 10.28 run. So that moves him into the #4 spot in the Outlaw/Modified class. Now the good news: Seb is back on the TT class list! He's back on the bubble with his 10.840 ET. --- And while we're on the topic of talking about zemaestro, here's the link for some pics on the day he made that low 10-sec run back in 5/4/2002: click here. And here's a quick video I took of his 10.3 run on that very same day: click here. --- And to fill the time during the cold Winter months, I'll post more blast-from-the-past pics and vids.



12/02/2007
* Additions to "Twin-Turbo Street" class.
* Additions to "Quick Links" section.

--- Greg@Specialty apparently was on Redline TV on the Speedchannel cable network. Looks like they showed Greg's 10-sec run from the IDRC event. Click HERE for a post on TT.net with a couple of pics. I haven't seen it myself. But pretty nice to see the Z32 still getting some TV coverage. --- And in other racing news, we have 2 more 11-sec cars. Congrats to Aumvovr and Booster(MD). --- Well we had a first snowfall of the Winter season here in the Northeast. So most likely no more racing till Spring for us.



11/27/2007
* Addition to "Twin-Turbo Street" class.
* Added video pic links to racers with vids.
* Added external banner at bottom of page.

--- And I'm not done with updates yet. --- Click HERE for a nice set of pics by Hawkin"Z" from the CA drag meet this past weekend. Some very nice shots. --- And on that day Scotts94z32 gets on the TT-Street list with a 11.36 ET. Decent! That now makes 12 racers on the TT-Street class. Pretty good size list so far. --- And I've also added video camera pic links to racers with racing action videos. Check'em out. ---- Finally, at the bottom of the page, I added the banner link to TopNissanSites.com where you vote for my site by clicking on it. --- That's it for now.



11/26/2007
* Additions to "Twin-Turbo Street" class.
* Addition & reordering to "All-Time-Best" list.

--- 5 consecutive days of updates. That's a record. --- More changes for the TT-Street class. Check out moreboost from Canada with a 10.62 ET. Pretty nice. And click on the date on his list entry for a link to a video on YouTube. Then we have Machtavian cracking into the 10's. But he doesn't have a timeslip for me. But should have a video to show soon. Congrats here. Then phillyz runs a low 11 pass on moderate boost levels. Should be in the 10's with the boost turned up. And rounding out the list, 91300zxttkid climbs up the list with his 12.37 ET. --- Also see the changes to the All-Time-Best list with all of the new 10-sec members. Sorry Seb. :-( -- That's it for now.


11/25/2007
* Additions to "Twin-Turbo Street" class.
* Addition to "All-Motor Street" class.
* Added site map at top of page.
* Cosmetic changes.

--- And the updates just keep coming. More additions to the drag lists and some cosmetic changes to the site. --- And I'm waiting for the timeslips and info from the CA & MD racers from this weekends dragstrip outings.


11/24/2007
* Additions to "Twin-Turbo Street" class.

--- OK, here's another update. I think I have all of the 2007 timeslips up now. At least that is all that I have gotten or all that I could find by searching on TT.net. So Dean(drdcanaceu) is the top dog right now. And as you can see, I'm only putting up sub 13-sec times in the TT-Street class. --- I know there are guys racing this weekend in CA and in MD. Good luck to them. I hope to be getting their times up as soon as I get them. And if you or someone you know has a time from 2007 that makes the lists, please email me the info.


11/23/2007
* Addition to "Twin-Turbo Street" class.
* Filled in the "All-Time-Best" list.
* Cosmetic changes.

--- The updates are coming in fast & furious now. I've added Greg's time from his recent win at the IDRC event in CA. Not a 9-second pass. But due to the safety rules, they were not allowed to run the car over 135 mph! Glad to see them following all safety mandates! Congrats to Greg and the Specialty-Z team. Keeep up the good work. We should be seeing some 9-sec runs soon. --- In other news, I had some time to update the All-Time-Best list. And I'll expand the Outlaw/Modified class when it gets more racers. As for the TT-Street class, that stays as a top-10 class. --- Lastly, stay tuned for more entries to the 2007 TT-Street class coming soon.


11/22/2007
* Addition to "Outlaw/Modified" class.
* Created "All-Time-Best" list.
* Cosmetic changes.

--- And the updates to the site have begun! Right off the bat, we have Eric(z324u) with his new world record for a TT street car. CONGRATS to him for an awesome time! For more info, click the links on Eric's drag list entry. And with his domestic tranny, his time falls under the Outlaw/Modified class. I do hope to see more cars in the class to keep things interesting. --- Also, as requested by a TT.net member, I have created the All-Time-Best list. Only Eric is on it for now. But I will be compiling the best times from the past years and hope to have the list fuly filled in soon. --- Lastly, have a good Turkey Day today!!!


11/20/2007
