    Import Shootout at Silverdollar raceway

    in Motorsports / Events

    Posted

    Hello to all, my brother Jerry and I were talking over the weekend while we were at the drag strip about the SEZ and DNI shootouts we used have and how we missed the event and seeing all of the HybirdZ members. It was great fun and met a lot of nice people.

     

    The events we attended for SEZ and DNI were done at Silverdollar Raceway in Reynolds Ga. This seemed to be a centralized location for all the people to meet. We stayed at motels not far from the track and had like a big car show / gathering the day / night before and then we all went to the drag strip.

     

    I noticed SilverDollar is having a Import shootout on May 19th and also October 19th. Was wondering how many members / people would like to all get together again. Of course no track rentals, we will just be part of the import shootout and do some racing / meeting everybody again.

     

    If members Scottie, Warren and Wigenout are still around maybe they can step up and get something organized again. If not then if enough interest in shown we can paln to do this. I know May 19th is really to soon but October 19th is not.

     

    Everybody please chime in and give us your thoughts. Y0u do not have to have a race car or even a Datsun / Nissian to join in. I know Wayne sold his Z and now has a turbo camaro, it would just be great to do something like before.

    Looks like a handfull trying to stage that thing!

    well in the video link I posted I did not use the bump box. I just turned on the prestage and staged bulbs grabed the trans break ,and did not leave until it went against the two step (3800rpm) than let it go. I was not happy with how I pulled into the beams, so that is why I backed up and brought it back in. Thanks Jerry

    We went to the track this weekend to race in a stock (production) block race, only had two cars show in this class. So they put us into a class with a bunch of fast cars. Here is one video of my last pass. I put myself out of the eliminations early because I fogot to turn on the boost controler.there are more videos on our youtube channel.( jnjdragracing ) The R200 is still hanging tuff. We were also trying out a BumpBox,that is why inthe other videos of this race the car hoops or bumps the second stage light on . video link

    Hey Guys, we will be attending the North vs South Grudge wars race at the Fayetteville Dragstrip.We will be racing in the stock block class (350 sbc vs 302 sbf). I hope we can make a good showing and represent HybridZ. If anybody lives close to this track we would like to meet you. We will be testing the car on the 20th at Darlington Dragstrip and then race at Fayetteville on the 23rd. I feel quite sure we will be the only Datsun there but we will have a great time. Jerry

    jnj-where's your water pump?

    In my intercooler(ice) tank, it is a rule 3700 billage pump.Here is a picture of the tank. The tank feeds the air to water intercooler,then goes to the trans cooler, than to the engine,then back to the tank.I can make a 1/4 mile pass drive it back to the pits and the temp will only be 140 degrees.post-1226-0-73876000-1358908388_thumb.jpgpost-1226-0-41024100-1358908423_thumb.jpg

     Great numbers, how much boost are you running? What size drag radials are you running and the air pressure? I have been thinking of trying a set of M/T drag radials on our car, looking at 275/60/15 or the 255/60/15.We have not posted any new videos in a while. We went to the track on 12/08/12 made three passes John should be getting the last pass up loaded soon.

    Just to add a note: They also make different width belts, you might be able find the same length but skinner width which would make the belt deeper in the v grove. Just a thought / or reverse it, you might have a skinny belt and which is not wide enough to grip the V as well..... I have also change out the alternator pulley to the moroso bigger pulley which also has a deeper v grove. Also I would not think you would have turn a big block over 6500 rpm's to achieve the power you are looking for.

    Any more updates?

    I am changing the struts on the rear, but the struts or on B/O. When I get them in and installed, we will be headed back to the track. I picked up a motown sbc block last week. So now we can start on the bullet-proof bottomend. Then we can turn the BOOST up to 29 to 30 psi, and make alot more HP. I am looking into trying a set of 255/60/15 M/T Drag Radials too.Thanks Jerry

    Never thought you guys would ever drink the turbo Kool-Aid! Taste pretty good, uh? There's more in it, just keep an eye on the AFR. CONGRATS.

    Scottie, It's good to hear from you. I drank a whole keg of turbo Kool-Aid! I think this is where I will stay, on the turbo side of the fence. BOOST is a wonderful thing!!!! Thanks Jerry
