had some fun at zmax
they had this special ticket offer this past weekend at charlotte motor speedway, if u spent over 150 dollars on race tickets you could take ur personal car to zmax dragway and run
i was already purchasing tickets over 150 dollars anyways so i took the offer and drove my 2010 v6 camaro down to the drag strip ive never done any racing of any kind in my life but i figured it would be fun to try i spent the whole day there and an entire tank of gas, probably did 25-30 passes my best time was 14.5 at 97.29 mph, is that good/bad/normal for a v6 camaro? |

Hey I saw a few of your runs, I was there too! I bought tickets to the All Star race and got the same deal you did. Only had time for two passes but had a blast. First time for me as well at a drag strip. Best time out of the two was 15.03 @ 93 mph but left some on the track never went full WOT. I need to work on my reaction time. Cannot wait to go back!

I never do more than 4-6 passes in a day...30 is was too much stress in one sitting. Is your car auto? And 14.5 is an avg stock time.

Id advise against more than 6 runs or so a day no matter the rest time but people will tell you different things.
What they will agree on is that your best runs will typically happen within the first 4 runs and get slower after that. |

Does ZMax have any public nights or only during promotions like this? I would be more interested in watching than running but I couldn't find anything on their site. What is the nearest track that has "Test & tune" or the like? Darlington?
