Zelienople Flashlight Drags

[OPZ]

Went down to the local summer racing thing they do during the summer with a bunch of friends...I took down the 240, cause as much as I love the Elantra...it's not a race car.

It was a really fun time, so many muscle car's that are insane. I decided to try my hand at racing my friends, it was my 2nd time at the drags, first time in a 5-speed, and first time with a RWD.

Setup: Mostly stock 240sx
- 5zigen exhaust
- 370cc injectors
- z32 fuel filter
- walbro 255 fuel pump

I had a little under half a tank when I started, and I'm running mis-matched balding tires in the rear...ha!

1st race:
240sx vs. 300zx = 240 win!

2nd race:
240sx vs. S10 = S10 pwnage (my friend's got a good bit done to it)

3rd race:
240sx vs. 300zx = PWNT 300zx

4th race:
240sx vs. Cobalt = 240sx slaughtered!

5th race:
240sx vs. Supra = 240 win

6th race:
240sx vs. Supra = Supra win


Once I figured out how to launch, my friend in his 300 didn't have a chance. And somehow my friend in his cobalt went 6-2!!! It was incredible, especially since he only as a ghetto intake and my old muffler.

This was down an marked 1/8th mile on an airport runway...over all, it was a GREAT time!

what is this all about? never heard of it...

[OPZ]

As they call it, its "street racing without the jail time."

Out here where we don't have sweet meet's, or race tracks, or anything fun, a couple times a month this company shuts down a small community airport and they run drag races down the runway. This is the 2nd one I've been to, and its been really really fun.

I can't wait to run next year with the T25 and GOOD tires! :D

Troll, we have to go. It is literally within walking distance from my brothers place in Zelienople. I have been to the drags several times over the years. Good times.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Would be nice to see if there is any of that in the east of Pa. Do people put any money on these races?

[poolmike]

Folks in Eastern PA are WAY too uptight for that kind of thing. It would be cool though...

[EvoColin]

That seems like an awesome time. I really wish there was something like this around here. $30 seems a little steep but I'm sure it's worth it.

[OPZ]

$30 for pretty much unlimited running against whoever you want.

And you can put money down between the people probably...I don't think its talked about really, in case someone backs on a deal. It's mostly for fun/bragging rights.

Here's a short video shot by me and some friends...I couldn't get any good angles so I just said screw it and started racing. My poor car smokes more then a freaking diesel in first gear... (I'm the second to last race in the video, red 240)
