Anyone else on here going to SCCA Solo Nationals?

To me, it's not a party, it's a race. If I want to go party, I'm going to the beach! Having said that, if you're in the right car, and are good enough to trophy, than it's worth going to for the racing. Unfortunately the 370Z in B Street is not the right car. The 370Z can compete locally, but when you start adding so many top drivers in faster cars, you don't really have a chance.

On day 1 (west course), I drove really well and I don't think the car would go much faster yet I was still at the bottom of the trophies. Day 2 was the same, except the east course favored the corvettes even more, plus I kept making a mistake around the first feature (it was a pretty tight, 135 degree left turn). You can't have a run with a mistake and expect to trophy, so I fell back a few places. Still, even without the mistake, according to my gps data, the car was still only good for the bottom of the trophies.

In other news, I may be selling the Z, OR modifying if for STU! lol That is, if the SCCA decides to move the 370Z from STR into STU. (Fingers crossed).
