DJ,
The Z's are great track cars. Most importantly they were driven by very experienced road course drivers. If Sam Shalala drove my car she would run a 1:45, lol.
Yes, I am heading to Frankensteins. Paulie is getting some Protomotive lovin' (and is talking smack as usual). Hopefully his car will be ready so that I can run him tonight and put him in his place.
Jamie, I heard Peter and Scott were running pretty even.

Good to meet you too, ekyub,
My car was also blowing past everyone else. I was making plenty of mistakes (turning in too soon, braking too late or early) but the car is just incredible. My instructor said he kept expecting her to break loose but she just stuck like glue.

We might show up to Frankenstiens in the SRT8 tonight. Our tuner has had a long day and doesn't want to tune the car tonight, so we will be at the track a little late tomorrow. Hopefully will have the car on the dyno @ 8am or so.

Are you talking about Tyson? He's a really good dude...but a bit innacurate with his race stories. Even though I had a passenger (he didn't), I beat him the first 3 times we ran at 1.5 BAR. The last race we had I missed 4th...and he pulled. Of course that's the only race he talks about.
As far as Peter and my run, it was my very first of the night..and I was at 1.42 BAR (learned my lesson after that). To his credit; he had two people in the car...when I only had one. But it was pretty much a dead heat with him getting the nod. I promptly turned my boost up after that.
I also raced a beautiful blue TT Viper to about 180 or so. He had no passengers, I had one passenger. He got me by 3/4 of a car. That was the best race of the night in my opinion. He waxed everyone else he raced.
Those are the only clean runs I had that night that were close. All the others where I actually had time to shift to 4th I beat my opponents pretty easily.
Houston is really the place to go if you want to run very fast cars.
