Irwindale 'Pre MSA' Drag Night!

A&Q about 350Z
Q:


They were all there!
280Dragger, 1FastZ, McAdam, Frank280ZX, Xander, Tony D.....
The highlight of the night was 1FastZ lining up with 280Dragger for a pass late in the evening, just before the Wheelie contest.
Saw everything run from old Bugs on Squeeze, to Diesel Trucks that were showing the Mustang Boys how it was done! And by Diesel Trucks, I mean stuff like Freightliners! (22.20 @ 32mph 1/8 mile...)
McAdam came in with a 4X8 Harbor Freight Trailer behind the 280ZX, filled with struts, wheels, heads and manifolds!
We all parked together next to the staging lanes next to a Hilborn-Injected ChevyII with an old-school live front axle, running A/FX style. He also took home the trophy for the best wheelie. Launching the car up in the air in first, second, AND third!
I'll leave the details to others who also took photos....
But it was great to se the guys again, and kick off the MSA Frenzy!

A:


Yes im curious why TonyD didnt post any times on the guys Z times????? Kinda make me belive they werent worth mentioning.

A:


I was running consistant 8.2xx at 83.xx.
I dont know 280draggers exact times but I think he was running 78.xx and 8.7xx.
Not bad for driving for 6 hours then going right to a drag strip and romping on the car. Yea we have video and picture footage.
Tony has the Pictures, he can post if he wishes.
Lots of Z cars, 1970's-1983's.

I have some videos of myself and of course the classic matchup of me and 1 fast z . im gonna post them sometime this weekend. first off let me say that night was really fun and i cant wait until next time. To all of the guys who showed up it was indeed a pleasure meeting everyone. Second of all to anyone on here who doubts brian aka 1fastz and his ideas or know how when it comes zcars i challenge you to put or shut. Plain and simple his car is fast, he is a good driver and i know for a fact he is only gonna get better and his cars are gonna be faster! Hopefully nexy year i will have my car tuned and running a little better and then maybe i will be able to keep up with him! Until then 1fastz is the man!

"Second of all to anyone on here who doubts brian aka 1fastz and his ideas or know how when it comes zcars i challenge you to put or shut."
Next year, MSA: "Irwindale Kickoff Drags, PUT UP OR SHUTUP!"
Sounds like a good working title to me.
So let it be written, so let it be done!
P.S., At the track today, with each instructor who drove Bryan's car, I pointedly asked the following question:
"So, after driving the car, would you agree with the following statement: 'This car lacks low end torque, and is totally undrivable on the street.'?"
The answers were:
1) Who the hell said that?
2) Bullsh*t!
3) Jesus Christ, this thing has balls!
So the invitation to "Put up or shut up" will also involve the same three instructors doing a driving evaluation for "Streetworthyness"...
Many were suprised. This eninge he has is not a "Benchracer Buildup"!
