these carts go zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds and 0-100 in 6.0 secs... they are not cheap to maintain, hence the price... courses are flexible, but prob about three hours total and 1-1.5 hrs of that on track

cart overview: Bondurant.com :: Kart School :: Kart Specs

here are the prices, but I'm certain we can negotiate these for a group Bondurant.com :: Kart School :: Courses and Rates

if there's enough interest, i'll set something up... maybe Thursday this week ? or the following Thursday ?

Those prices pretty much match the price of shifter kart rental here in Tucson. I will probably stop tracking the Z and start renting shifter karts every so often instead.

There's a place on the East Side of Phx called F1 Motorsports, or something like that, I can't remember cause I havent been to the east side in a while, but I hear it's pretty fun, and the carts aren't the fastest in the world, but it's a little easier on the wallet. Maybe we could do that first as a prep lol.

Is firebird a drag strip also, or just a track?

I'd like to go put some baselines down when I get the Z.

Sounds like a blast. You guys would hand me my arse though :D

go carts give you the same adrenal rush and are more of a workout, but it's more satisfying to me to track the Z... do both ! :)

yes, they have a drag strip... then an east, west and main track... then a bondurant GT track and a bondurant cart track... also a boat / water drag strip... pretty big complex

it's not about winning - just having fun

So we know who the resident expert is lol. I'm following Travis haha.

Hey guys has anyone had Clear Bra done to their Z and if so, Where and how much did it set you back for what you did? I wanna get this lined up the day I go for pickup so I can minimize the amount of time the paint is left to the winds here in hell..

I would like to know this also...

bump for clearbra info too...

Also, where are you guys going to track days...I am interested in getting out of 3rd gear lol (autox)

Firebird International Speedway in Phoenix, Arroyo Seco Raceway 20 miles east of Deming NM., and there is a new track in Wilcox AZ...foget the name. I like FIR east course and Arroyo Seco best cause they have no walls.

do u have a link to FIR schedule on their track days?

Does/Has anyone ever go up to the strip NE of Phoenix on the 60. I went up there a while back for a car show, just wondering if anyone goes there. FIR and all is a long way from where I am.

Hey guys, I just got my Z from Coultier Nissan (43rd Ave/Glendale Ave) They have a guy who does their clear bra orders. I'm quoted for the entire front end (Bumper/Full Hood/Fenders/Mirrors/A-Pillars @ $995 So hopefully I can get that done this Sat. They are supposed to call me back for it. I'll take some pics and let you guys know how it goes and if it's worth your time.

CONGRATS BRO!!!!!! Color??

And thanks for the info. I have a stupid question, would it make sense to clear bra the bumper and a CF front lip? Can that even be done??

Thanks br0! Do you know if there's a meet or if that whole Indian School/Litchfield thing is true? The Sexiest color of course! Black! :happydance:

I would say sure why not? But do you mean installing the clearbra then the CF lip then CB again? Cause I'd just have them CB the part before installing it?

Congrats Chris, i HATE that dealership, but glad it worked out for you!

Really? Why?

ABC was too shady, Avondale didn't offer me any deals, Earnhardt is too far away in Chandler... I didn't even know these guys were here...


Do you go to those meets over here on the west side? When/where are they at?

I've been there twice, and both times I got the shadiest salesmen on the planet, who also seemed to be at least in their 70s, stunk, and tried to steal my money :P

I dont go to any meets. Not because I dont want to per se, but most of the time my weekends are booked with school work.

Lies. :inoutroflpuke:

Middle one isn't even mine :p

I do not know of any meets honestly..... Except the one out in Indian Bend. I really do not have the time to get out like that any more.... sadly......

We should all try to meet up eventually however...

5th Annual Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout (3pm-1am)
 

Anyone heading out to Firebird tomorrow?

I've heard that this shootout has been pretty good, in the past. Anyway, I'll be heading out from Tucson tomorrow at about 1pm hoping to get there before 3pm. Hit me up if you're interested in meeting up before leaving Tucson or even meeting at the event. I'll be rolling with some S2K buddies but anyones welcome to caravan with us up there.

I'd like to go but I dunno... hmmmm

yeah, I'll be running in TTS group (big bore race/time trial group)... I live 10 mins away, but as it turns out, first time on Firebird Main course...

more detail in case anyone is interested in checking it out

Night Event Registration Open!!! Details inside! - NASA AZ

family friendly during the day... DJ's, beer and other stuff once the sun goes down

I thought about going but it's gonna be to warm in Phoenix for me. I am gonna try and do a shifter kart track day here in Tucson and then watch UFC tonight. Have fun at FIR.

We should arrange some AZ meet for all of us, we don't have to go do anything necessarily, but I think we have enough people here in AZ that we could all meet up and at least exchange info and such? I mean lets look at it this way we have:

Anyone else that I'm missing?

You missed a perfect day and night, bro! Temps were awesome and got to see TravisJB track his z. There were some beautiful sounding and looking cars last night. Saw a couple of NSX's tracked and some seriously mean M3's tore it up, too. A couple of 240's were pretty sweet (I think one was sponsored from DM -Dentetsu Motorsports, here in Tucson).

The drifting was crazy. I guess normally there's only a few good drifters at these events, but every other car was f'ing amazing (or I'm just easily impressed). There was a blue miata that just tore it up, every time he got on the drift track.

Anyway, I only saw two (2) 370z's at the event: TravisJB's on the track and mine in the parking lot! Got a lot of stares cruising in compared to the billion of 350's there. :icon14:

It was a great night and would like to make these events more often. I definitely think a group get together should happen and I know of at least 3 other 370's I've seen in Tucson, that aren't on these boards. I wish there was a better way to get more people from Tucson on the boards. I guess i need to start rockin' my "the370.com" sticks to drum-up some business!

Me. Although my Z purchase is in a holding pattern atm.

Yeah sorry, you haven't posted in here in a while lol. Forgotz about you. But yeah man, now you need to get your Z too br0!

I'm in.

Yeah, I've been working too hard. Hopefully I will get the final word in the next week or so on some things, then I'm off to find my Z.

Glad to hear it br0, once we get everyone in a Z, then we'll go for a lap around the 101. 2 cars deep, 3 lanes wide. :tup:

Definitely man.

I'd be interested

Thats another one for the list...


What would you guys wanna do?

Strategically place our Z's around the Arizona Meteor Crater and get an aerial **** from a helicopter? :tup:

Hey Guys, I have seen a few around the valley here and there, I am in the N valley

Theres another one! We definately need to get like a parkin lot filled or somethin lol

as soon as I get an oil cooler i wouldn't mind doing this:

ASR

$500 bucks!? :wtf2: Too rich for my blood... I thought itd be like 50 bucks for a drag run... :ugh2:
