After an unusually snowy winter in the area, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a beautiful afternoon of racing at a local drag event this past Sunday. The Kentucky Horsepower Shootout, held annually at the Mountain Park Dragway in Clay City, KY, would be the perfect test for Hal's street 350Z to stretch its' legs after a relatively boring winter for the car. Other than a wash, oil change, a new set of wheels, and a fresh fill of VP race fuel, the car remains completely unchanged from Hal's venture into the 9-second range on his first trip to the strip with this car.

In the video below, you can witness the first full pass of the car in the competition round. Despite losing via a red-light start, a first for Hal, he went on to make a blazing fast pass at 9.34 while trapping 145 mph. This is over a half-second quicker than the car's previous best. With this time, Hal and the entire Injected Performance crew have added "fastest 6-speed 350Z" to our resume, fitting nicely with our existing claim of the fastest automatic (Powerglide) 350Z as well. Additional details of the setup follow the video:
