So today I finally got to take my car to an auto x event. Winter's about to
hit here so I thought now's the time. Honestly, I had the biggest smile on
my face the whole time. I always hear people talk about what a rush it is
and how you actually get to test the car out and now that I've experianced
it first hand I couldn't agree more. Made me love my Z even more and
appreciate all the engineering behind it. Anyways I thought I'd just share
my joy with you guys and hope other track noobs like me get out there and
push their Z's

 

Many of us remember the first autocross. I was knocking over cones, and trying to figure out which damn way to go. My brain cant process all that input fast enough in just 50 seconds.

The 350Z deserves to be driven.

It is hard to describe how much fun it is. I'm lucky to have a great club nearby. Good folks, good drivers, and a nice place to run.

 

Yeah I wasn't the greatest out there that's for sure lol
but after a view runs I lost the nervousness and realised I could actually
push the car and it wouldn't break haha
That was my main problem for the bit, being scared of pushing the car, but
in the end it's meant to be driven and I love it for that
oh yeah, and a few cones got owned in the process of learning

 

Congrats on getting your Z out there! Does winter really start that early up north? When do you have to start putting your Z away?

 

Yeah I was pretty proud lol. Alberta's really weird because of our wide
range of climates and how rapidly it changes. The car will probably have to
be packed up mid October unfortunatly. We usually start getting snow in
October and at night it's already below 0. It's all good though because I'll
be saving money to throw a decent set of coilovers and sways on to feed
my new found addiction.
