If we can get at least 10-15 people as a club to split the costs of renting the track, it would be great!
Yes you're right.. Porsche club does require a membership, by purchasing a Porsche, or a previous Porsche owner IIRC (Info from friend who's in Porsche club).

Its a pretty bad idea to join a track day hosted by a Porsche club lol. Not to mention that we'll get raped very badly haha...

As for the 370Z club hosting a track day, I think its very possible if we can manage to get 10+ people going. It'd be easier if we extend that to 350Z owners also.

does that mean we'll get the guys from my350z.com? But yeah, an overall z club or even nissan club is good, as long as no GT-Rs are allowed!

Sure, why not? Just go my350z, start a thread, and gauge some interests

I run with the Porsche club at Pacific Raceways. Really fun group of people and I find it ironic that someone with a 911 Turbo comes over and tells me how much they like my car……………….

What is really pretty fun is when someone without a ton of track experience owns a GT3, GT2, Turbo…etc and you get the best of them in the corners and pass because they cannot shake you……that is a great feeling
