not yet slowly branching out. my guess is they will hit las Vegas in a year or two. right now Midwest tracks, road Atlanta and mid Ohio. it is worth the road trip if u can make one of the two big events at gingerman or atl.

Yea I was ganna say last I checked it was mid west only.


Not exactly that determined to hit this series enough to travel cross country.


I hope they do a SoCal or Vegas event. That's more reasonable. I still need to hit a Nissan challenge. Everytime one comes up my car is on jacks or Im busy the weekend of.

well after a crazy weekend. with a lot of ups an downs. i am proud to say i managed a first place finish in gridlife rwd street mod. with a 1.38.299 at mid ohio great battle with Matt DeReus, Andrew Mishra, Eric Naumann, and Alex Westergaard. I didn't even plan to go after a lose ground caused some problems that i was unable to get parts for. now i have to give a huge shout out to Adrian Dachowski for bring parts across 3 states an jumping right in to help get the car back together. couldn't have made it with out your help. the car is a whole new animal this year. it has never handle better or ran better with the #haltech ecu. I have to say thank you to Mike Piecko over at #redmistauto. The work they did on the car over the winter break really woke it up. the new cage and harness makes driving the car great. an all the cooling mods help the car stay cool an in power. plus the new wing mount lets me increase down force at a much lower aoa. (thanks Aaron Kwilas for letting me use the harness). also have to thank Anish Ramrakhyani for all the help an hook up on tires. i am sure i will need more lol.
thanks to Daniel Spencer Hutchins over at #z1motorsports. they have helped me out time an again with so many of the custom parts they make. i have to say i love there new 2 piece rotor i could out brake anything on race track. an lastly i have to say thank you to Chris Stewart and Adam Jabaay for taking a risk on such a early weekend an knocking out of the park. love all the new tracks

Hadn't seen this thread until now! Another great build/drive/enjoy thread. Again, another great departure from the usual "It's broke, dammit!" ones. Been a couple years, would love to catch up on what's gone on in that time.

Missed this thread too, will get back to it to read it all. Damn these Z33's look better with age, they look like they could do anything.
