The Z is not forgotten, I took it out and I was like ok, need to do some track days with it and let it run....
This will happen in May - Planning a Track Night @ AMP to knock off the rust, then hopefully a lapping day at mid-ohio in June, Now need to start planning the rest of the year

I always get a giggle from people and comments, so new neighbor moved in, in his early 30's and comments on the Z. Smiles on my face... its a bit funny in the apartment complex with the Z and MX-5, seems I have the most sporty cars of everyone and enjoying them both

next things to do with the Z
1) roof wrap - carbon fiber wrap 2) side skirts - debating, need to find out the cost to get wrap or buy carbon fiber 3) canards -- have a pair of stillen, not sure, going to see the cost of carbon fiber wrap or look for something different 4) Diffuser - thinking Me -- start reviewing more driving videos and working on driving on a sim Currently using accosta costa, at AMP in a 370Z nismo. Funny my son and I at times run together, but I am about 3 seconds off him. Spend more time on it and cannot find the 3 seconds. Just have to try different things, hoping I find out where to get it and when I finally go back to tracking, something sticks. Everyone be safe

today did not take the Z, took my mini and did the tail of the dragon with it for the last time. Need to get some pics of it, since I have been here I have taken all the cars that I have own on the dragon

Took, the Z out on a 50 mile drive, made me realize how much I miss driving it. It is most comfortable car I have. So I think I am going to target July to do a Track day/night. Also need to find another weekly drive around here, there are options

add a carbon fiber wrap to the roof, since it seems to take a beating and wanted to protect the roof

Just a couple little thoughts on a Monday...
Over the weekend was working on the Z a bit and it was idling, someone walked by and said sounded nice... always makes me grin..... Then found this a few days ago, I think it is my favorite picture of me in the Formula Ford I ran, this was at mid-ohio and taken by my 10 year old son at the time Everyone have a great day

well its Friday, made some decisions
1) track night at AMP on Aug 12 2) Playing Assetto Corsa at AMP with the Nismo in the game, will find out if this helps, at least I feel better about the track 3) got the roof a carbon fiber wrap (been posted) 4) sold the Stillen Canards -- just did not do anything for me 5) working a windshield banner using Steve McQueen quote from LeMans - we'll see if it works... Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.6) looking at lips for the Z.. 7) debating on going to a driving school again.... Looking at AMP school, because its close Just thoughts..... Thanks for the look

Did my first SCCA Track Night of the year on Wednesday
-- COVID 19 setup masks for all meetings, no indoor meetings Good social distancing / masks 80% I felt comfortable in going and participating -- driving forgot about the 'S mode' - which would explain funny feeling on down shifts (I do not heel / toe) Traction control, was reminded real quick to turn off Tires - Michelin PS4S front 36 / rears 32 -- good wear no rear sway bar -- to tell the truth I have no butt feel find out why the seat seem to move, seems as if something was not locked on the back.. best time was a 1:51:79 -- not bad for me... -- Turns 13 - 16 the carousel lot of body lean, its a bit fun, leaning turning left and shifting... From 2nd to 4th... Turn 6, for me is a 2nd gear corner Turn 1, is from 4th to 2nd, and start breaking at about the start finish line. -- Things I have to improve Shifting, go to be more smooth and makes sure 'S Mode' is on. Traction control make sure it is off -- Note I played Assetto Corsa, and have AMP and Nismo, it did help in making me feel more familiar with the track. but the sim vs the actually were a bit different on shifts and of course not a really feel
