That's an odd looking development. Looks like it was built years ago but only one house ever got built off it.

Just buy the 55 acre property to the west and we'll rent some earth moving equipment and build you a race track. Paving is going to be expensive though.

Might as well move closer to this one!

Sounds like I have at least one investor! I've got the real estate agent taking a look

Sweet! I'll be close enough for the odd 3-day weekend trip!

All, just posted today's vid here http://www.the370z.com/track-autocro...tml#post928679

Inching ever closer to the elusive 104 target... tomorrow will shoot for a 1:07.5... Would need FI to fully close the gap - there's no question I am approaching the limit of what this car can give with stock powertrain... car is now 3,150 roughly with driver and half full gas

Now that I have my setup issue largely worked out... and ABS is back (had a sensor that was dislodged)! :tup: the F3R pads feel much better... and going through all that I think made me a better driver- more sensitive to the thresholds of braking on this car. I still think that for an extremely short track like FIR East where there is a lot of intense braking with brake zone bumps etc, having a pad with better feel would help... but at PIR and Chuckwalla, the F3R is proving to be very effective... just thought I'd drop that quick note... off to the track! :)

Cool, hopefully we will see you at Road Atlanta, Barber and the Florida tracks!

Today ran a 1:07.391 :)

Looking forward to that Mike! Mind dropping a few links here for the clubs that run in Florida at the southeast more generally? I need to start doing some research... any events coming up in March I should know about? Thanks!

just mapped out track positions vs new home base... doesn't seem unreasonable!

the one in the north is jennings... appears to be motorbike only, but I wonder if that will change? looks like a decent course layout... not sure how wide the track is though

If your ever in Naples/ft.myers then hit me up bro. We'll have a lil car meet.

^ will do thanks Jon!

by the way, here's a look at the Z as of today... ditched the headlights! haha

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6220732_n.jpg

using the same acrylic headlight covers you've probably seen on ebay/amazon

also added a gurney flap to rear wing, reversed the direction of the wing end plates, and corner balanced the car for this event... weight is somewhere around 3,150 with me in it and half tank of fuel

Car is looking great Travis and looked very stable on track as well.

Looking good! :tup:

if I saw that on the street I would laugh at first sight from 100 yards, then when I saw it close, I wouldn't make eye contact from fear. "Guess I'll take the long way to Sonic today"

Meanest looking Z on the forum hands down. Very nice man, I hope you come down soon so I can check it out!

where are you going to be settling?

Jennings has or at least had some issues with retaining walls right in the runoff areas. didn't look too safe.

I run with
Asphalt Ventures
Triangle Z Club/Tarheel Sports Car Club
MVP Tracktime
BMWCCA
PCA

we also have Chin and Nasa and a couple other organizations.

Don't forget Hooked on Driving also runs at a bunch of these tracks...

So why are you leaving AZ???

Work... I don't get into work stuff on-line... if you're curious, drop a PM

Pimpin' aint easy.. gotta keep that on the down low.. ;)

Josh you're retarded

I'm also thinking about ditching the OEM winshield for SpeedGlass branded Lexan windshield... thoughts on that? which thickness should I order?

if its legal for your race class, get rid of all the glass....its heavy and high up in the center of gravity.

Travis, what stops that toe hook/strap from flapping about?

Chris, nothing... suppose you could put a cheap zip tie on it that would break free when emergency tow situation arises

Hey all, quick favor to ask... can someone please measure the height of windshield top to bottom in the middle of windshield? I need to send to speedglass and my car is not with me... THANKS!

Top of glass, but not including upper moulding, and to bottom of glass, but not including lower plastic valance that runs along the glass for cosmetics and wiper penetrations = 29 inches clear glass.

29.5"

Thanks both!

Question. How many ponys you got on your last Dyno? I was looking but I had no joy. Thanks

^ I swear I dont mean any offense, but is this how people talk in Arkansas?

Im from Arkansas and I don't, lol.

Okay, all in good fun... appreciate the question - I will try to answer in Arkansas'ian! :tiphat:

Dat dere car got 297 ponys at da tar

Which is a good thing... 300 rwhp was my limit for NASA TTA classing... discussed a few pages back

lol thanks. And I'm from Dominican Republic, but I'm living in Arkansas (Little Rock AFB). Lol but i don't see anything wrong with my comment :tiphat: can someone tell me?:tiphat:

no, no! you're okay... we're just entertaining ourselves

Enlisted? If so, THANK YOU for your service!!!

Boo Airforce. That is all

Looking for input on a couple things...

1. new employer will provide a leased vehicle - whatever I want... could use it to replace the 2006 f250 with new HD Denali or whatever... or get a fun car - maybe M3 convertible or something like that... any ideas? let me hear what you think!

2. new house may be very close to new employer... in which case I may want to get an electric moped or the like so I can zip over to work quickly... what would you get for a 5 mile trip using sidewalks? how about if it were a 10 mile trip using roads?

Thanks!

Honda CR-Z. <3

lol.

Don't replace the tow truck, because you may end up putting too many miles on it towing your car to tracks on off days, and that is somewhat of a misuse of a company vehicle.
For fun car, BMW is kinda a tool car right now if you are asking me, try something different like an AUDI RS or S model. Audi S5 perhaps?
http://models.audiusa.com/s5-coupe

Sidewalks and roads you could get a Honda Ruckus, goofy little bikes that are huge in the import scene to modify. PasswordJDM carries crap loads of carbon fiber for the Ruckus enthusiast. Not my taste however.
http://powersports.honda.com/2011/ruckus.aspx

tt-RS, the engine sounds amazing. Maybe if its in budget a p-car? Or the opposite end of the spectrum a luxurious fast car? Jag XF/XF-R however much one of those runs. Amg sedan. All fun practical cars.

good input!

will look into the ruckus, looks pretty cool to me!

audi has some appeal... maybe an R8???

wife drives an ISF, so not sure an AMG sedan or jag adds much... have been thinking about porsche, maybe a cayman... will ponder on that a bit

Good input!! Keep em coming
