Default Few photos of my Z

Getting it read for the 1/2 mile this weekend, snapped a few shots. It is dirty as hell and since it is 60F outside, too cold to wash until it warms back up to 70s later this week.

1200ish if I had to guess.

Maxed dyno out, so couldn't get a reading. Backed timing down 5 degrees and made 1116rwhp, so somewhere above 1116rwhp.

Just stay back as I run in case a stainless valve exits the head from bounce

Yes my work is always hiring. Got 2 new people starting next week. We've doubled in size since I started 18 months ago.

I had to put the 60F thing in because of all the east coast cold people. Sitting with the screen doors open enjoying the breeze right now. It is actually 67 and suppose to be 81F this Saturday for the race.

You gonna bring that beast out for the ACE forum drags at WHP on Friday night? Good chance to get any last minute bugs worked out before Saturday. You can always hit the binders at the 1000' until you're ready to go home.

Lol being a floridian I read the 60 degrees being too cold to wash a car and knew that would raise some suspicion.

Beastly looking car

No, car is running good, and if I need to work bugs out, I can do it Saturday as if it is like last time, you can get 30+ runs. So spending 2-3 tuning at the 1/2 mile is fine. If I was going to race Friday night I would bring the mustang, but my wife lands from Fort Worth at 7 as she has been gone for a week, and that lone is enough not to go Friday, let alone getting up at 6 the next morning to drive out to Gila Bend.

I will watch out for stainless steel projectiles

See you Saturday, and up here in Prescott it's going to see a high of 53 today, so I think I will use Quick Detail Spray & Microfiber Towels to clean my Z, way too cold to wash it

Got the camera charged. Only taped 2-3 runs last time. I'll try to get more this time.

Suppose to be nice this afternoon, but worst case can use the Adams waterless wash. That stuff works great.

Car looks sick! 60 degrees and too cold? If the water does not freeze on the car I will wash it! Last time I washed my brothers car I had to have a heater on the hose reel so it wouldn't freeze. Good luck at the race!

Suppose to warm up to 68 today for a high, but 78 for high on Friday. I'll just wait until Friday to wash it. Getting all the dirt off has to be worth .00001mph.
