Event Info:

Laguna Seca is a legendary 2.238 mile track in Central California, and one of the two most in-demand tracks in the west. Come out with us and you'll get the best track time per dollar value you'll see at Laguna. Test your skills on the world-famous corkscrew and compare your times to those set by the big names of ALMS, NASCAR, CART and the stars of yesteryear. Laguna Seca is a challenging course best suited to intermediate and advanced drivers.

Note: Noise Restrictions at Laguna Seca: We believe this will be a 92db day (rather than the usual 90db day), but are awaiting confirmation at this time. What does that mean? Basically a guy sits off to the right of the track and takes noise readings. If you go over the limit, you will be black flagged and told to go into the pits and figure out a way to quiet the car down. People with loud cars (RX-7's in particular) will need to make adjustments for this event. The most effective and easiest adjustment is simply lift off the throttle when you go by the sound station. Another option is to add a turndown to the exhaust, which you can do with a clamp-on. See this thread for more information.

There is no aftermarket rollbar requirement for this event.



*Novices in this case are those who have not driven on a track before.

 

Hot diggety dawg! I am THERE! That track is so fabulous.

 

Looks like I'll be going afterall. Probably not in the Z though because I'm still getting her ready for my season closer the following weekend and I don't have enough heat cycles left in the tires..

 

Dave:
Look me up there. Love to connect after reading so many of your very outstanding posts.
My car is at the Pomona Fairplex this weekend in the Nitto Tent. They have the sport compact drag championships this weekend there.
I will be at parent teacher weekend at my daughter's school.
But if any of you lads drop by, tell Leo Kang that you know me and they can give you a closer look at the car.
Cheers.
Ed

 

Ed, I think we met a few years back at Infineon. I didn't have a Z yet. I instructed Jason from Performance. See you in a couple of weeks.

 

Were you driving the black IS with the suspension mods?

 

You could say I had some suspension mods (I ended up with 1000lb springs).
It was a silver IS.

 

Ed, are you still planning on going to Infineon the weekend after this? Thats two weeks in a row of LONG towing. I am scrambling to find a new trailer to purchase so I can make it up to Infineon. My car will be at SEMA the weekend of this Laguna Seca event though.

 

Yes, I remember now. That was my third HPDE day, ever. Spring of 2004. That was the same day the fellow in the VW lost his front wheel if I remember correctly. A very nice outing day. Looking forward to saying hello again.

 

Yes, Mike....two weekends in a row! It has been a long dry spell with summer and work, and I really am looking forward to getting out there and trying the new suspension set up that Mike and Scott and the VRT lads put in there. It is a lot of towing time, but well worth it for those two tracks.
The car was at the Pomona Fairplex this weekend in the Nitto booth, during the sport compact drag championships, and Leo said a lot of people were looking her over. Time to get out of the tent and onto the asphalt.

 

^^^Awesome. Glad to hear it! I am itching to get back on a track as well.

 

Crap!

Anyone know who makes a better track pad than the Project Mu B-Force pads for the 06 fronts? performance nissan doesn't have anything better.

If I can get pads, I'm there.

 

Here's my recommendation. Can't go wrong with the benchmark PFC-01's either.

Neither one of these are available for 2006 fronts, only pre 06...

Thanks though.

What is available are EBC yellow stuff pads. Anyone try these?

 

After some calling around I was able to find a place that has Poeterfield R4' and custom made Raybestos ST-43's for the 06 fronts so i"m probably going with Portefield front and rear.

I found them on racebrakes.com but i had to call them.

 

Racebrakes is one and the same as Porterfield. Glad you found some options. If you are a nasa member you will get a 20% discount.
