Turbo Meister Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Saturday, 4-6-13, I entered and won the True Street race at Famoso Dragstrip in Bakersfield. The best part was when I ran my first ever 8 second pass of 8.903 at 159.34 mph. This was after driving a 30 mile course through the "backcountry" of Bakersfield. The Z also had to pass an inspection to verify street legality. I ran 3 back to back passes in 12 minutes through the mufflers with DOT approved tires. No engine shut-off, no cooldown, no adjustments allowed. My 3 passes only averaged 9.17 seconds since the Z ran hot after the 8 second run. Then they made me wear a royal mantle and crown and took a photograph. After the embarrasment was over, I was given a 6 ft tall trophy and a $250 check. It was a good day....especially after I beat a Twin Turbo nitroused 427 LSX Corvette. Edited April 9, 2013 by Turbo Meister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonTX Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 An 8 second street car is pretty damned impressive. You sure put a whoopin on that GTR as well. Good Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
