You've got a 350Z. Learn to drive it. April 28th at Summit Point.
Capital Driving Club is holding a single day, Monday, April 28th on the Shenandoah Circuit at Summit Point, WV. $200 for the day. I hear the list has a lot of S2000's.

Mike, mdracer76 - You said you'd be down for this. Who else is in?
Before you all start asking- this is what you'll need:
* SA2000 rated helmet or better
* Fresh brake fluid
* Brake pads that have at least 50% life
* Sunblock
That's it. If you've never been out on track before you won't need fancy pads, sticky tires, adjustable swaybars or expensive coilovers. YOu won't need any of that. Those items won't help you in the least. This is high performance driving in a safe learning environment. You want to be a better driver? This is the first step. Join us.

LOL.. I'd add to your list Josh..
Water (Or gatoraide.. but preferibly water.)
Snacks and a bagged lunch if you don't like track food. (I don't.. yuck)
Inspect your tires for nails, or cuts prior to your HPDE.
Patience, and a willingness to unlearn your bad habits.

A lot of attendees will have their own tools on hand that I'm sure they'll be willing to lend out if needed.
Other than the basic tools like a lugnut wrench you should be fine. This is a learning environment -- not necessarily a test'n'tune for your car. So if you've never been out on track before I wouldn't even consider trying to make adjustments other than say maybe tire pressure.
Mike - Yes, you can bring your own snacks and water however I believe water will be provided and since this is on the Shenandoah Circuit they have a snack bar there that opens for lunch with burgers, bbq, hot dogs, etc.
You will have to have your car inspected by tech inspection. They will be looking for the obvious things like wheel bearings, damaged tires, low pads, brake lights being out and battery not being secure.
All the information is on the site I linked. Read it. =)

I'd still recommend performing these inspections before the BSR, so you wont have any surprises at tech, that would prevent you from running. I. also, did not realize that this was on a monday. and will have to clear up some work in order to attend.
This may seem silly, but what about helmets? I don't want to go buy a helmet just for this one event...
And the tech inspection is done beforehand at the track or by a tech at a shop in your area? Forgive my noob track questions

Your car will be tech'ed there as well. If something is found to be 'un-safe' you will not be able to participate. so.. in my book, its better to be safe than sorry .. so inspect your Z yourself before you take it to the track
As for the helmets, chicks dig them

I guess this would be called a MATT lol.
