*Video* S30s racing at Kingdon Raceway

This is a quick video of the races this weekend at Kingdon. This was an old dragstrip that was re-opened for one day of grudge racing. There was a tree but no timing since it's primarily used as an airstrip. I basically used the runs as a tuning session. Most of the Z's there were V8s (LS-1, LS-2, 383). I'm the red car in the right lane when the 2 red Z's race (the other red Z has a LS-2).

It was pretty fun even without timing. We could have did a few runs if you were there. They let you line up with anyone you wanted. Take a wednesday off and we'll go to infineon or we could go to sac on a weekend. I really want to get a few timeslips before they shut down for the season.

Thanks. Traction was a problem. Spun the tires all the way through first. Didn't hook up till second. All the big horsepower cars were getting squirley at the start. I was only running 8psi on my runs since they were tuning runs. First time really stretching out this car so it was fun feeling it out.

It's pretty close now. I just need to get it on a dyno to see what AFR I make the most power at. This current motor is a baseline though for the next stage.
