I plan to come to Nashville and bring my daughter out to introduce her to autocrossing.She lives and works in Nashville and the autocross gives me a good excuse to spend time with her.

 

Looks like the Z got smacked around: http://www.scca.com/documents/result...rovisional.pdf

 

Ouch! Where's the love???

 

I am happy to see some Zs actually show, none of the guys on the west coast will even show at the big events.

I was really wanting to see what the Nismo would bring to the table in BS, this is not the performance I was expecting from it.

 

Agreed, as a non-nismo owner I was excited to see what the changes would do on a course. I was slated to go, but my work schedule prevented it. Too bad too, some would think I may have had a chance against Harvey

I may go to Ft Worth, but there is not much of a B-Stock class, and that's a long way to drive for a low-turnout.

 

There is one heck of a spread in the B Stock results. Any commentary from someone that ran?

 

I was but expenses outside of autocross are keeping me closer to home. I'll see you in Atlanta.

 

I hear ya! I will be there for both Atlanta events, and DC. Had a blast in GA running with you, hopefully I'll be able to clean it up for Atlanta and not hit so many cones

I replaced the blown shock and it made a pretty big difference! I am able to get the car right on the cones again (without hitting them), so hopefully that will translate to a better than 7th place finish

 

Maybe the guys in the Nismo Z aren't experienced. I'd like to see Carter run one.

 

NOOOOOO.

 

I feel pretty safe in saying that you'll not see Carter in another Nissan product. At least from the strong reaction I got when I asked last month.

 

The Nismo was fine but the driver was experiencing terminal brainfade.Unfamiliar with the pro-solo format and having major traction problems on the concrete surface.I think we gave up better that a full second in the first 60' due to wheelspin,then compounded the problem trying to overdrive the car to make up the distance.I try to learn from my mistakes so I guess I'll learn a lot from my first pro-solo experience,but I won't blame it on the car.My co-driver did manage a competitve run,but with a red light start,so the potential is there.

 

Yup, we're all too scared of ULLLOSE.

Seriously though, I'm about six months behind in my life after last September 30th (my wife's accident).

 

I hope nothing serious.

 

Give it time and your comfort and speed will improve.

I'm making the switch to an RX-8 from a D-stock 2.5L WRX. I've done 5 events in the car to date and still don't feel 'comfortable' behind the wheel.
