I think this is right up your alley...mine too...cheaper and should be more reliable. Although you might have to rid the berk exhaust parts to accommodate the z1 package...

having been to both, I prefer open track days to club events. The last club event was filled with super cool cars, and nice people, but was way over regulated with 4 different "groups" taking turns on the track. I probably only ran for about an hour the whole day due to waiting for my group to have its turn. Also they had a lot of no passing zones so I sat behind slower cars a lot waiting to get to a passing lane. (a bit frustrating)

open lapping days are way more laid back and you can come and go from the pits as you please which is better for sitting in other cars while you or your car cool down.

I have ridden in lotus, vettes, 911s, GTRs, mustangs during open lap days. There was a McClaren some farraris and a few other exotics there at the club event, but the schedule didn't allow for me to try and schmooze a ride. bummer.

By the way, I finally chased down my o2 sensor engine light codes to leaky HFC gaskets. I've installed Zspeed gaskets and Silicon sealer, and my codes are gone and my exhaust sounds right again. It was tight doing it without a lift, but saved me a couple hundred bucks labor. (the bolts were a bitch though and required an impact gun to bust loose)

Depending on the weather outlook I might make it down to C&C tomorrow, bit of a monsoon just came through up here. Rain and thunderstorms seem imminent starting around 1130-Noon tomorrow last I looked so will have to see how it shapes up.

If I make it out, hope to find a few of you there.

Shadezz · 07-12-2014, 12:36 PM

I just have just missed you. Nice cars for sure. Comedic award goes to the Ferrari with two baby seats in the back. Only because I wanna be those kids. Was his daily driver over his Jag F-type.

Fwiw a guy I spoke to said Coffee and Cars in Lafayette is huge. 400+ cars. I expected the opposite so will have to check that out some time.

Best part is the rain held off.

Shadezz · 07-12-2014, 12:56 PM

Crypto...Cars & Coffee in Lafayette is way bigger..Maybe I'll hit it up next month.

futurez · 08-04-2014, 07:12 PM

Moving to Denver is the next month! soon to be another Z in Denver, can't wait to hopefully meet some of you guys! I'd love to hit up a track day.

Crypto2k · 08-04-2014, 07:35 PM

Let us know when you're here and I'd be down for a meetup. Some good roads here that need exploring and food to be eaten!

futurez · 08-04-2014, 08:01 PM

Can't wait, because the roads and traffic blow in PA!
