Catch up with us next time man and come introduce yourself to the gang. What area are you coming from? We are doing AAA speedway in Nov. We generally have a good showing of 240, 350, and 370's(even a 300TT here and there).

I think most of the Z guys on this forum run with extreme speed. We have a Nissan competition that runs year round sponsored by corner 3, swift springs, Berk, Qstarz gps, and a few others. They give some pretty significant discounts 30,40,50% on their products for people that do the competitions. And if you podium in your class there is usually some decent hand out prizes, racing gloves, stickers, coupons, etc that make it a lot of fun.

ill definitely keep that in mind. my friend with an evo convinced me to finally come out to an event since im mostly ready (aside from track pads which i finally ordered - xp8's). i'm coming from norcal, so a 3 hour drive isnt so bad.

in fact, you will see me sometime, i invested in an hjc ar10-2 and will not be putting that to waste

I'll be at this event on the 13th! See you all there.

Is it only Z's. or can I bring Porsche guys to beat up on?

It's anyone that has a good attitude and just wants a well run track day.

AAA in particular tends to attract the GTR's, 'vettes, GT2/GT3, and 500 HP evo's, there's also a few supercharged Z's in the mix along with some of the one seater customer racers, Ferraris, CTSV's, basically all big fast cars. Big willow is it's own thing. Not really comparable to any other track that I know of.

Both are high speed, high HP tracks, but the similaritites end there.

AAA is pro. Flat, wide exits,everything is very visible, nothing tricky, easy to learn, and all about raw performance. Hardware of your car will be your limiting factor, your HP, Brakes, and suspension will all be maxed out since the track is so well engineered. Turn 1 and 2 will make you feel like a roman gladiator(cept no one besides your GF is in the stands watching). When you brake after turn 2 you feel like you have saved the universe andwill soon be attending that ceremony that Luke Skywalker did at the end of the first Star Wars movie.


Big willow is nothing like that. It is some blacktop dropped in the desert from the sky by the old gods. Designed before there were rules to racing. In a measly 9 turns, you will learn how little of a man you are. Turn 1, enter at 85 mph+ and accelerate through the entire corner into a blind exit. Turn 2 enter a 90+ mph right hand sweeper and throttle steer for about 10 seconds. Turn 5, steep downhill braking into a very narrow entrance and a blind exit with a camber change at the top of third gear. Turn 8 and 9, not really explainable, but you enter into turn 8 at 90-110 mph and exit it at 110-130, very shortly after that you have to scrub 20-30 mph(even though you are still cornering) and enter turn 9 which is the type of corner that makes Vikings cry at night. There is nothing I can say here that will adeptly describe the turn 8 to turn 9 transition at Big Willow. I have taken that turn some 80+ times now and it still scares the hell out of me.


This is the best explanation out there:

Fun weekend guys, track was near perfect conditions and lots of cool cars out there. We had the SoCal Dodge and Mustang clubs show up on Saturday and then Sunday the Red Line Time Attackers. A lambo, and where in the heck did all of those GTR's come from? That was the most 370's I have seen at a track day yet.

Most important thing I learned this weekend: Our car is faster in the straights than the Cayman S. Well at least mine was on Sunday.
Second most important thing: Do not underestimate the Dodge Charger.
