Interesting. I am a little surprised by this...I would think the s2k's and some of the other, more popular cars would get a spec class prior to us.

Blergh. How exciting, yet how sad. I'm already preparing the Z for SCCA T3, paid for the school, etc., etc. I don't think I can turn back now, but maybe run this Spec Z class next year.

Default New Series to be announced

The new series hasn't even been announced and one team is disqualified for a false start when they jumped the green flag.

That is awsome, and sucks that the link to the rules seems to be broke.

From the press release, looks very cool and great to see Nissan supporting it. I did find the rules here http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/s...rules_2012.pdf

Very interesting...too bad I wasn't looking to road race right now since this looks like fun.

I think that even for those of us who are just starting out it gives us a road map towards competition if that is where we want to go. This way, as we get more into it we know what mods to spend money on and what to stay away from.

Here are the complete rules for the series:

http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/s...rules_2012.pdf

Cost on spec suspension?

I'm a little confused:

-What if I have an 06 engine in my 03' (just keep to 258 HP and 3100#?)?
-No hood allowed, but switching hood types is not allowed?

Looking at the rules they do allow a PS cooler and larger radiator

It's an also interesting note the Nissan will be offering a NISMO Spec350Z kit for suspensions.

How so? It seems you'd have to change all your alignment control pieces, since they are allowed in SCCA but not this NASA series. I suppose that's possible, though doesn't seem very. . . practical? Maybe there are other parts I'm missing as well.

Where's the "LIKE" button?

Also - anyone see a schedule? If I'm going to play in this park, I need to get the wheels rolling to get it all prepared. Are the parts available for purchase? LOTS TO DO!
