Damn, Mike's got some skills in that video! Especially some of the late-braking passes are just insane. Great shot starting around 11:20 on a braking pass.

That race was silly with the cautions...

Agreed he is great driver. He has ability to anticipate moves. He guards his position well to with those inside corner entries too.

BJ: Now that you have some downtime for the off-season, clean out your PM folder so some of us can send you a personal note!!

Nice meeting you today.
Came back this afternoon for a plant tour.... Very impressive

As posted by DJTodd on one of the 2012 Z Nationals posts. Here is a brief clip of the B.J. in the DORAN 370Z on track doing a fly by. AWESOME sounding exhaust. Nearly blew my pathetic speakers on my desktop cranking it up!

WANT.

Wish I could have made it to ZNats. ;/ Oh well... only 7 months to ZdayZ.

Damn that guy can drive. Does anyone know the specs on the 370z?

maybe we should skip zdayz minus track day and do ZNats+track day. Although... I can understand the lure of the 3 day binge - but my fix is the track now.

Know what you mean... the track is my drug of choice... my biggest conflict with Znats is that it's at harvest time when I go help dad. Not that ZdayZ is much better... but ZdayZ time has mostly been too wet to work in recent years. :P

At least that was the base...

Engine-wise I don't know how much they've done, if any. The suspension components they are running are impressive.

Edit: Wow! Just looked at the list of permitted mods for the chevy's and fords vs the list of allowed mods for the 370z.
Basically you can rebuild the entire camaro or mustang (minus the engine), and for the 370 you can....upgrade the stock brakes, use adjustable arms, and swap for HR heads.
