lol I agree with all 3 responses. I actually thought about the "cockyness" as I was writing the post, but thats not how it was intended. I wanted to be as concise as possible, to avoid any non useful answers such as read the internet. Trust me, I dont mean to sound like a ****. Every single one of my friends get along great with me IRL, but if we text each other, talk on skype or ANYTHING over text...... I sound like a complete douche and we dont get along. I guess the way I talk needs to be complemented by body language, pitch of voice and so on, through text it seems monotone, demanding and cocky. Its a work in progress, If you knew me IRL you would understand instantly. Im just very direct and blunt through text.

Anyway, yeah I looked into VIR but they seem pretty locked down and high brow. Expecting high dollar classes, high cost for entry each day, need to be part of a club blah blah blah list goes on. The only thing around that I can just "go" to is a drag strip, but I dont like dragging my car as its also my driver. Sure accidents are more likely at a circuit, but its far less damaging to your car overall "as long as you dont crash" than launching it constantly in a straight line all night long. Especially with that viscous rear and craptastic clutch in all its wheel hop/overheating/glazing glory. I remember in Guam when I had my 09 nismo........ 5 passes consec up the strip and the car overheated, launched like poo, and I could start to smell the clutch. My friend would always say he could see one wheel start to smoke, then a few seconds later the other wheel would........... I HATE this viscous piece of ****, might as well have an open diff. All it does is slip, hop, and not transfer power until your already going 30 mph. After the ARK dts goes in, Im already putting money in savings for the 4.08 gear and nismo GT clutch LSD. Ive heard good things about it..... aside from the steep price tag. I read the nismo japan part books about it and it seems like a pretty good piece. My wifes japanese, so knowing the language is a necessary evil :P

and im not a teenager wish I was though lol. Im 27 years old unfortunately.

Well you will find the east coast track events to definitely be more pretentious and insider-ish. My pops whom is in POC is the best example of it. You are gonna have to play track politics a bit more at any track on the east coast especially VIR which is considered to be a historic race track and is revered out east. It's just the way it works there.

That being said your attitude does make you sound like you are a spoiled 16 year old kid. Not trying to be a ****, but you are not going to get invited to much besides events that are filled with Russians running their rented miatas and boxsters into each other if you don't grow up a bit.
