Actually, I need to keep a track of how many events you do with 3/8th full tank until you hit the fuel starvation. Just for the sake of gather data. What year Z btw? Any video of your Z running at the event?

I have an 2009 Nismo, and you can find all my last year autoX runs at https://www.youtube.com/user/Apollo240sx In the SSCC autoX videos I don't think I ever ran less then a half tank on their track. I figure the sweeper might do the trick, but still have never had a problem there regarding fuel.

Just to be clear my car has been fuel starved on the track, but never auto crossing. For the Oregon SCCA Solo we usually only get five runs, and they are pretty small, usually always sub one minute. As for the national events up at Packwood Wa they are one minute and up. I've never burn threw a huge amount of fuel where I've been worried.

There are now two other 370Z's running in the scca autox group with me, so I'll have to ask them what they are doing.
