Everyone,

Nissan North America and Nissan Motorsports are again hosting a Nissan/Infiniti Owners Hospitatlity area, special event ticket promotion and Car Corral. Come out and meet some local Nissan, Datsun and Infiniti enthusiasts, watch some great road racing and hang out with the various teams campaigning this year both in ALMS and the Pirelli World Challenge series.

Stay tuned as more event updates, news and information is released in the coming weeks.

To learn more and order tickets for the Nissan/Infiniti Hospitality Weekend, check out the venue's official website here:

Nissan & Infiniti Hospitality Weekend @ Mid-Ohio

Make your plans now to come out. Hopefully we can upset the Caddy/Vette, Porsche and BMW fans with a FULL car corral of Nissan's, Infiniti's and Datsuns! Be sure to bring your Nissan, Datun, Nissan Motorsports and Infinti race flags.

Patrick McGinnis (HKYStormfront) and myself will be heading that way to attend the weekend. Come out and find us.

Hmmm... I really want to come down for this. Love to drive Mid-Ohio but I've never seen a pro race there. I wonder if the nearby hotels are all full...

wutfun · 07-12-2012, 01:01 PM

about a 12 hr drive from toronto

just maybe

There is a chance that we enter our RC in the GTS class..... But dot hold your breathe.
Nissan motorsports had been working to get our same engine package approved for WC.
I wish the thems running Z's in the series the est of luck as its a very tall uphill battle against the KIAs , Cunninghams Acura, and the Boss 302s with a larger restrictor than they have in Grand Am

That series is greatly turning back into what yet were trying to get away from a couple years back.
Again wishing all the Nissan teams success.

Even in the continental series it was obvious that your car was down on straightline speed compared to the porches, mustangs and even m3s

Dwnshift · 07-12-2012, 01:41 PM

Yes.... In WC I fear it's even worse.

Dwnshift · 07-12-2012, 02:45 PM

Yes.... We know as its what we have been running.
But again.... I don't thnk it's enough.
The Z isn't a car you can just take the restrictor off and make more power and torque.
The Boss 302s make more power in WC trim than they do in Grand am.... Also the real uphill battle is against the turbo charged KIAs.
They made a big jump .... But need to go higher.... And that gets really tricky.

HKYStormFront · 07-12-2012, 02:48 PM

yea but it'll help

Dwnshift · 07-12-2012, 03:04 PM

Yes it does

Seriously excited if this happens. Bought the tickets to this a couple months ago even though it meant not seeing you guys till Daytona next year. Just the chance of this is like Christmas in July for me.

I know when I checked a couple months ago all the Holiday Inn brand hotels in the area were booked. Not sure about the others.

Dustin@Z1 · 07-13-2012, 08:25 AM

Due to the races, MANY of the hotels in general are booked up. Most hotels immediately around the track booked up months ago from what I understand.

Dustin@Z1 · 07-14-2012, 08:45 AM

Just received this from the event promoters directly. The Hospitality Area is only a short walk (over the Turn 1 bridge) from the transporters.
