Sounds like fun! My tag is Z YAH. I wish I was smart enough to use pictures like that.

 

I'll see you at SP next Friday, Jim. Are you Group 2 yet?

 

I am in Group 2! I'll see you there. Congratulations on your promotion!

 

I'll be there for north. It will be my first time running the north course as well.

 

I'll be looking for you.

 

You're going to love going through Stevie Wonder... definitely one of my favorite turns...

 

Rob, please report on the performance of the brake duct kit. Two sets have shipped, and more are on the way.

Have fun, and I'll see you at VIR full on June 19/20. Instructing with Mazda Driving Associates again.

 

Where can I find dates and times to go up there? I'm in Quantico VA, it'd be great to meet up with some other Z owners.

 

trackschedule.com. Check in the SE section as well, TZC will be there in April for the south course.

 

This is sounding like the best weekend ever. The weather is really trying to cooperate. Is anyone's job getting in the way of tracking your car like mine is? This is way more fun! I'll be looking for Z's

 

What does someone have to do if they are interested in attending/driving? I've never been to one of these but have always wanted to drive that course (I lived about 40 miles from it for 5 years and drooled repeatedly). My old Grand Cherokee didn't seem like the best track car....

 

I lived in Richmond for quite awhile but never went to the track, funny. Go to VIR Raceway on the web and check their schedule. My instructor from Summit Point is the one that talked me into this Mazda weekend. They do offer first time track experience with an instructor. The only help I can give you is to look them up first and then contact them. If you've never tracked the Z, you're in for the thrill of a lifetime, without a speeding ticket!

 

If you wind up waiting until June 19/20, I will be instructing at VIR on the full course with the Mazda Driver's. You can request me as your instructor. I think it is helpful to the student for the instructor to know the car he/she is instructing in.

Most important thing is to have fun and stay safe!

 

There's your man HokieZ!

 

I think Brian and a few others are going as well.

 

Well, we had kind of a rough start Friday at Summit Point but the day turned out to be beautiful. I hope the weather will hold out for this weekend a VIR. Any other Z's out there going?

 

I plan on making it to Summing Point eventually as well but VIR always appealed to me. I sent a PM sent to racin as I'll likely request his services. I fear what may come out of this though is some new brakes as the last time I tried racing anything (karts) I got hooked big time on it.

 

O it B addictin' but what else are you going to do with it?
