My buddies drive...
2005~ mustang GT, nice exhaust
2006? infiniti g35 coupe, he can put his n20 set up in but i dunno if he wants to use it this time, he can't afford to blow anything. lol. but hes coming.
one has a early ws6 trans am or something, its really nice but i dunno if he can go yet, i think hes working.
ESP on for street tires. If you got worn out street tires, don't even bother running at Sac unless you are just doing it for fun and not PBs Also, stay out of the left lane if you can. I didn't believe it when people were saying how bad it is until I fish tailed at 60mph with ESP off. It could be that the left lane is slightly pitched but that's just my guess. Bring your helmet and enjoy.

SFI approved helmets are needed for any car 14.00 seconds and below.

It's both, not for everyone but the idea is to run the TNT Friday night and then bracket race Saturday night. I'm going to need the TNT just to figure out how to keep the car consistent and above 11.50. Not sure Saturday will be fun learning how to run a Z06? Just fly up tomorrow, you know you want to, just ask yourself is this what you want haha!

To be honest they don't even check your helmet, they just ask what are you gonna run and if you say under 14sec, he will ask "ya got a helmet?" and you say yes it's in the back seat and he says ok.

Sac weather update: winds calm, slightly overcast, 60 degrees. That's looking out the front of my shop about a mile from the track! Hopefully it stays like that all day!

Your car is actually capable of at least 12.4 to 12.5 at Sacramento. With good traction, we were able to pull 12.1 @ 118 out of my car, but traction was still always a problem. The good thing about Sacramento is that there's usually not many people running there, so you can practice over and over until you get the perfect launch

Good luck everyone....
