I have been tracking my 2013 NISMO for about 2+ years. All in HPDE events in Texas. I'm 68 and hope I'm still doing this in 10 years. My car continues to be a work in progress and becoming less and less streetable (still street legal, just not that comfortable with racing seats, 6 point harness, etc). The driver is also a work in progress. I have definitely improved; car handling, track awareness, confidence, but think,I still can improve a lot more. Probably the best thing about going to the track is the absolutely fantastic people I have met and friends I have made. Although going up the hill on the front straight of COTA to turn 1 still gives me goose bumps.
