I've never had the alignment done on my Z even after rims, tires, and coilovers. I just set the ride height and called it good.

That's probably a wise choice. You don't want being tired to ruin your day.

A lot better trip than the 330 miles it would take me, thats why I like willow and Autoclub. Both are a 230 mile trip.

I have noticed a low percentage of Z owners talking about the track, didn't think it was that rare to see one at the track.

I usually run into 2 to 3 others every time I'm at the track. I posted what days I will be out above.

Alignment, grab levels and a measuring tape. Very easy to check and adjust. Won't be perfect, but will be a lot better than it was. A second set of hands is a must.

Just signed up for this weekend. I'm going to be running in the Green Group since the other ones were sold out. Its going to be my first time in an open passing group. Its also going to be my first time running CW on this track. What group did you sign up for Len?

I signed up for green for buttonwillow last time and I had never ran CW13, I just let everyone pass me then got use to the track, by session 2 I was doing fine, open passing is fun. Open passing is really when you're with a friend and you guys are playing around and passing in corners and not worrying about point bys if you run into a slower driver.
