Love to but its a bit too far. I will be at VIR & Barber however. Sorry I missed you Jason H. when I was at BJ's shop getting parts installed. Have you the T2 Z yet? BJ has the T2 car been outfitted with sways yet?

SCCA has allowed the 350Z for adjustable sway bars and a spring package. Both items have Nismo/ Nissan part #. I believe the spring package is being worked on right now.
Jason will be running the sways at Mid Ohio this weekend for the double regional.
Then we are going to Road America in two weeks and I am gonna drie the national. I need some points!!!!

Regional went ok. I finished 2nd behind a National Cadillac CTS-V on Saturday and then ran into problems getting the car setup for the rain on Sunday, so didn't run. It's nice to have 2 races in one weekend (most nationals are only 1 race per weekend) but when they do that, you only get one 15min qualifying session (only about 8 laps at mid-ohio) and then you race. That doesn't give you enough time to try different setups on the car...especially when you just got new springs and sways approved. The new sway bars were AWESOME though. Just need to get the shocks and springs right and then it will be a very competitive car.

Thanks for all the "Good Lucks!" from everyone......I need them

Nice job Jason. I know what shocks & sways you are running. What springs are you using? Should have slipped BJ into the cockpit on Sunday & surprised that Caddy!

That's what happens when your entire pit crew is made up of women You wind up catching a little "turninearlyidus" from time to time...It's contagious...I'd watch out!

I'll be at Mid-Ohio. I look forward to seeing you again Jason and hopefully meeting you BJ. Any chance of picking up a set of sways while I am there spectating?

Oh, I will be the crazy-*** guy with the Nissan/Nismo flag and an airhorn on the hill above the Esses. Look for me
