Register here- Extreme Speed Track Events - Sung extended the discount thru tomorrow!! Code BMW gets you in for $100!! $10 entry@ the gate, $10 helmet. Free lunch. Fast Z's! It's totally fun and not even as dangerous as driving in freeway traffic with idiots. This is what your car was made for!

Everyone is welcome to come! Especially meet crews :tup: Phelan your STI would own the Esses on turns 3-7. We can find a central meetup place for a caravan, need to leave by 6am to make driver's meeting.

You don't have to drive if you want to show up and check it out! $10 entry at the gate, turn right, and drive slow til you see a cluster of Z's

Title edited to avoid any confusion :ugh2:

At this moment we have maybe 12 people that I know, if we can get 20 people, we can get our own run group as long as everyone is atleast intermediate and point by passing anywhere.

:ugh2:

edit: i wish i had an sti. my wrx kinda crapped out last time i was on the track. terrible oem tires.

Yep! Saw two more guys signed up yesterday. One more day for the $35 discount using code BMW

Looks like fun

Please stay on topic!

Thank You :)

Roster is full! We're gonna run with a couple of GT-R's, a 1 series M, JB4 335i, an Ariel Atom, and not too many miatas or s2k's this time :tup:

Right now there are 2 openings left for tomorrow

Track prep Friday: Costco RE11 265f/305r + Motul 600 and Carbotech XP12's

Had a lot of fun out there on Sat, thanks for the pics! My best run of 1:38.2=stoked!

fast forwards towards the end, you can see a bit of my fishtailing on turn #9 and a short spin!

+1 for future drift meet

This would be awesome if you guys could do a drift meet! I know that Just drift holds awesome events for drifting.

As for track days the Z/G challenge days would be the best to get the most Z's out there for a meet!

http://www.the370z.com/track-autocro...ck-events.html

Meet guys don't do track, and vice-versa. Don't know anybody who drifts, tires are expensive if they're worth a crap to drive on.

May 5th?

Correct! Drivers-sign up for advanced run group so martin can get a tow draft down the frontstraight!

Meet guys don't track? That is the biggest crock of sh!t I've ever heard

You track your 370z? We'll be glad to see you. When are you going? Which track? We did Button last week, Martin82 et al are at Chuckwalla right now. When is dream big projected to open? SoCal meet guys don't want to drive very far or they might show up. But probably not.

We actually had 2 other Z's out there at Chuckwalla today!! The Z did great there, very fun track!!

I'll get some video up later tonight, I'm still tired from the track yesterday fun times.

Chuckwalla, I came late so didn't get to a lead and follow, first time at this track. Tons of fun and TONS of track time non stop!

I'll have more video up later, here are some pics:

Chasing a lotus!

Good seeing u guys!! wwjd! eventhorizon and gtkiller!! Another fun track day! Learned a lot yesterday!

I am trying to sing up for Laguna Seca end of this month, if anyone is interested... there is Friday, Sat, Sun available. Single days are sold out, you can still run Sat & Sun or all 3 days.

Just signed up for Laguna Seca, June 30, July 1. If anyone wants to go you can go to Speed Ventures - Track Events for Everyone! to sign up. $340 per day.

Damn if it wasn't so far away I'd go. I REALLY want to take this thing to the track..even if its bone stock...just to get a feel for tracking a car to see if it's something I want to do more seriously.

Just come to Willow Springs with us in the Fall when it cools down. Laguna Seca is the holy grail of CA tracks- start with a sippy cup, Mr. Bone Stock.

hrmm... when are you driving up?

My 240sx is down, need to find a good conditioned replacement KA24DE. Don't feel like paying for a rebuild since I want to spend time with an old one blue printing and doing rebuilding it myself.

I'm driving up Friday, tracking sat n sunday and driving back right after on Sunday

Is that per car or per driver? If the former, let's carpool! :tup:

Haha hopefully by fall I will surely have done something to the Z. Normally I can't leave my cars alone....this one I haven't touched. Moving and work has kept me too busy.

All u need is an oil cooler and decent set of front pads and change brake fluid...

Here's a good way to get a taste of two popular SoCal Tracks in one day:

Raceline [OPENTRACK] June 24th, 2012 - Bring your car, your helmet, and hit the track!!

It's usually 100 degrees there this time of year, tomorrow will be 85. Last good chance to run before September when things cool down again.

Talk about perfect weather at the track, damn it I'll miss this!!!

u better practice a bit for streets of willow!

Practice driving on the street? Where does one do that...
