NJMP looks like an interesting track. I went their for the first time in July for their Go-karts, where a good friend of mine ran into 2 gokarts during the warm-up lap. Wish I had a go-pro for that crash.

I highly recommend Trackdaze events! They are generally safe and are have good instructors that can help you get the most out of your car.

If you have not done it already, I would recommend an oil cooler for the track and keep your fuel tank fairly full throughout the event to avoid the fuel starvation issues you can have with the Z. The first time it happened to me, I almost had a Corvette "enema" when I bogged down.

How's that new TrailHawk treating you? Bet that thing will be a blast when the snow hits

Seriously, Trailhawk ... how is that going? Had it in the back country yet? I bought my 4WD truck with the idea of lots of backcountry for photography. Turns out, I could have made do with 2WD with limited slip around here. Not out west though.

It is fun! Yes, I took it to Red Cloud Off Road park in Woodbridge. There was a LOT of places where 2wd would not cut it. Had a blast.

I'm enjoying it! I took it on some decent off-roading the weekend before Thanksgiving. (one of the pictures is in my signature now) It did very well and impressed some "real Jeep" owners with it's capabilities. I have my first scuffs and scratches from a stump that was out of my line of sight, but it is a Jeep and I have plans for cutting the fascia up for a winch install anyway, so no worries.

Snow will be fun as well.

With how I pull on some cars out there, I can totally see this happening - first time it happened in my Z was terrifying.
