Default Dyno and track day.

So I went to Castrol Raceway in Edmonton Alberta on Friday.
First thing we went to the dyno.
I made 451rwhp/420rwtq running rich.
Then I went to the track. It wasa superhot day and there were superfast cars running slow times like a twinturbo C6 Corvette running 12.7s as a best and a high 11 second SRT4 running 13's.
I ran a best time of 12.8s at 112mph.

Vehicles I raced:
350Z
Supra
Deisel Truck
60's Mustang with Slicks
2002 Z28 Camaro

I won all my races with I think the mustang running 0.5s slower then me being the closest.

I think I should go back when I get a clutch, suspension and some drag radials.

Here are my times

Me 13.521 350Z 14.797
Me 12.992 Supra 14.975
Me 13.112 Deisel Truck 14.905
Me 12.889 60's Mustang with Slicks 13.263
Me 12.837 2002 Z28 Camaro14.087 (camaro redlit)

I got to admit, I kept improving.
My 1/8th mile in the first run was 9.778 and in the last one it was 8.405, reaction time was .222 in first and last was .114. My 60's ranged from 2.4-2.2. I really need drag radials.

You should calculate your DA here is some info on that:

then you'll be able to tell us what you would have run in ideal coniditions..

What were your 60ft times?
