Well to be honest, after seeing some of the stupid sh1t that was an excuse for driving this past weekend at Nismo Fiesta, I can't imagine for the life of me how anyone could possibly come to that conclusion.

No one that I know of who is on the Board, but there where some real dumb-arses on display, especially on the way back to the hotel Saturday. It's those kinds of stunts that reflect badly on all of us.

Doubt it was captured on gopro as Lady Jenny forgot to turn hers on.

I'll give you one example though - I was going back to the hotel on TX 16 running about 70 mph in a light drizzle and was passed on the shoulder by a certain G35 (who by the way, I could name at least three stunts over the course of the weekend that would win him a nomination to the d-bag hall of fame) going at least 20mph faster than me; at least!

That's just moronic.

What would be a great event is to get a group to attend a driving school somewhere. I've taken both the beginner and advanced classes at Bondurant, and it was great. More than anything, you learn what not to do, and the extent of how really stupid some of the things others do as witnessed this weekend. It can be a real eye opener.

https://www.thedriversedge.net/index.html - It's $295 for the whole weekend. They offer a 10% discount for a car club of 10+ signups. They'll put all the new guys in the green run group, you'll get 8x 30 minute track sessions (4 each day) with an instructor in your passenger seat under strict passing rules with other novice drivers on the track, interspersed with classroom time learning about high performance driving theory. It's a great deal.

If someone started organizing now, you could probably get things set up for a 370Z group at any of their events from July onwards (events tend to sell out a month or two in advance).

I've got no time for organizing, but I would definetely like to get involved with something like this! I've been screwing around in karts for the last year and while that is really fun, it's not the same as the car.

I've done a bunch of these events (also check out Apex Driving Academy) and they are well worth it.
