Two 370Z's Playing at Summit Point
 

Forum member TakJak is driving the white Z with Crux riding shotgun. I am in a 2009 with 108K miles on it. Apart from K&N drop in filters the motor is bone stock.

Safety is important to me so I have gutted the interior and have a 6 point roll bar and race seats. I run a HANS device and use a custom cool shirt system covered by a SFI rated TraqGear shirt (this shirt is not only fire resistant it is so comfortable my wife wears it to sleep).

For my exhaust I simply removed the muffler and attached open pipes. I have a custom front splitter and a massive custom rear wing that plants me in the corner but hurts my top speed on the straights.

I am running well worn 275/35/18 Nitto NT01's on all four corners. My brakes are CarboTech XP-12 up front and Porterfield R-4's in back (why? they have been sitting in my garage for years) with 2.5 inch brake ducts, steel lines, and Castrol SRF.

Looks like a blast and thanks for sharing...

Seems to me that you were nailing the corners like a pro.

Car should be done for the June 6-7 Summit event...

...prepare yourselves for the old 350z to come chugging on bye :).

Was that this past weekend by chance Resipsa?

Looks like a BLAST MAN, I really hope to get to an event this summer with my sedan. Nice to see she's at 108 and still running stong:)

Mike, do you have a passenger seat? I love to go for a ride.

Yes.

that looks like so much fun

Negative....for now. I'll be happy if it can knock off some 1:20 laps by the later sessions. Lots of little things to work through. Should get down in the 17's by late fall on fresh tires.

Did you happen to spot a black Gt3 (996) out there? That was my father. He was out there all weekend as well!

What are the rules in terms of what kind of car i can bring on the track?

Any safe car is allowed on track. As a novice you will be paired with an instructor.

1:20 is absolutely flying. I think my best lap ever was in the high 1:26 range with my averages around 1:28.

First time ever out in the car with no aero, REALLY heavy and corded NT01's it ran 1:23-1:24''s in traffic. It's about 250lbs less, full aero and A hoosiers now :).

And (the 500 pound gorilla in the room) your a better driver...

I don't know about all that...the car is stupid fast. Even before, in BSP autox trim, you had to try and put a put wrong with it....

Nice dude!

Tons of fun going back and forth. My car was twitchy all weekend, and I struggled to put power down with stock vlsd, no aero, and an iffy alignment.

Great feeling dragging behind Rep's big wing down the straight and coming out inside on 1. Now I need a wing :happydance:

Nice. U looked faster in the corners. Good line.

Was he in HPDE 4? HPDE 3 had a silver GT3 .

Thanks.

Maybe you should let me drive her to find out...:rolleyes:

Great stuff boys, I got a kick out of it just watching!

Pics?

Was the white and old blue car both BMW's? That white 335? Was moving.

Good call on safety first.

That looks like sooooo much fun!!! Wish we had something like that here. The old and new bimmer 3 series were just flew by good grief never to be seen again.

if you notice at the start of the video I am waiving off a point bye from the white BMW so I could keep up with him. however, I was looking to play with the white 370zand didn't want to eventually hold him up.

but that blue BMW was just fast! no way I was hanging with him.

I was going to ask what was up with you waving at people but didn't want to sound like a total newbie. Cool, very cool.

So far no problems with a vvel?

I try to practice good track etiquette. If someone gives me a point bye to pass them or deliberately changes their line to make it easier for me to pass I always waive (left hand out the window) as a way of saying thanks.

In fact, it kinda pisses me off when I point someone bye and they don't give me a waive (assuming they are in a situation where they could waive).

On the same token, if someone points me bye to pass and I have no intention of taking the pass I will waive it off (any hand waiving inside the car).

The thumbs up in the car is just an acknowledgement of good driving, good times, etc...

Are you trying to jinx me?

I guess it is more of a Charcoal /gray. I think 4 is your highest group right? I think he bumped down a group since he just got the car back after having the whole thing prepped. It is only like his second time back out since a minor crash at the end of last season so he is sort relearning the car. If you ever bump in to him his name is Greg as well as mine, say hello!
