Thanks for the comments!

I run an 18" front and a 19" rear. I don't know why it looks so small. The front is 25.25" diameter and the rear is 26.1 diameter. Only three quarters of an inch difference in diameter. Not much.

Getting passed by a Miata is nothing to be ashamed of. Most real serious track racers drive Miatas anyways, plus they are so damn light. Great pics man, what brake setup are you using? Good to hear your buddy didn't do any damage to his cars. Stock brembos blow! Hope to see more pics in the near future! Maybe something a little side ways

Nissan 350z + Nismo + Advan Wheels + Track = Delight. ****, I just wish I could take some driving classes, put on a helmet, and enjoy a track... what would be almost as good is shooting your car w/ some panning.

Great shots, great car. Car looks right at home, looks like it's in the gym with gym clothes.

Maybe I should add those RS's on my short list

Great pictures Larry! I good to see you out and having ALOT of fun with your car!

What did the "co-pilot" think of the power (and open dumps!! ) on your car. Did you scare the shizzle out of him?

I got to do the Chin/Sebring deal with my last car and destroyed my brakes, LOL. Great to see some Z's out there.

How much do they charge nowadays?
How many sessions do you get?

I can't seem to find a website...

Again... thanks for the comments.

After the third session when my instructor saw what the car was capable of stated "this car is soooo fukcin sick". He said it was one of the fastest cars he had ever ridden in. He said he had a student with a Z06 yesterday and my car easilly out out accelerated the Z06 in the straights. He said I really set the cars suspension up nicely. The car was very neutral and controllable at the limit. He said the car had tremendous potential and that we had to work on getting the driver set up now.

As you can see in the pics the car is very flat even though in those pics the car is braking heavilly, and turning insanely hard!

The car was very loud going down the straight going into and comming out of turn 17 with the open dumps screaming in front of pit row. People were impressed. I had alot of people looking at it in the paddock.

Thanks for your help with it Andrew. I wouldn't have made it Sunday without your help!

Next Day at Sebring..... June 14th/15th. If anyone is interested in Joining CHIN and getting out on the track here is the website!

The R888's were very predictable with tenacious grip. The tires limits were well beyond my limits.

JEEP SRT 8... instead of going around the corners he just puts it in 4wd and cuts across them!

hey, i see my car up in those pics, thanks for the props on my save
in the beginning of the post, i was pretty bummed about my brakes
going out-my fault for thinking 50% would last the whole day
i enjoyed meeting with you, maybe i will come down in june to watch
your next event- i dont think i will be ready by then-i need to do some
serious brake upgrades before i go back-my car can't handle the abuse
i put it through the way it is currently set up.
