Doesn't look like it. Everyone seems to be running an event next week. Don't forget that SCCA added May 15 as points event #2. I forgot to update the OP.

Already 94 cars registered including SMF national champion Brain Karwan. Everyone else is battling for 2nd overall when he shows up. Last I heard....it was getting a motor with more power....so it will likely be even faster.

Might have to check out one of these Auto-X events, if at least to watch. Harry Grove Stadium is pretty close by actually.

Anybody doing any track day/HPDE this year? The Friday at the Track (FATT) at Summit Point seems pricey, but I'm new to this so that might actually be cheap for all I know. Also, I've been hearing racing from the 75/80 (or 80/75?) 1/8 mile drag strip from my house the past few weekends, anybody ever go by there?

Do you live in Urbana?

I do it all. The cheapest track days are SCCA PDX's, but they only have 2-3 events a year. Sunday only is $125 bucks. You have to be an SCCA member though ($85 a year for D.C. region). There is an SCCA National race at Summit Main on the 21st of May. There should be 2-3 350z's racing in that event. Might as well just run the auto-x. Not much to it. There will be 3-4 350's autocrossing at Bowie this coming Saturday.

Wait. You mean this Sunday?

Do you have more info you can send my way? I would like to do a track day if thats the price. But I do not know if I need previous experience or the track license....

Thanks Mike.

Next one isn't until Sept. It will be 125 for the Sunday........it's at Shenandoah. You can register now on WDCR's site, but I probably won't until August or so.

Yup, I'm in Urbana.

When are the Sunday track days? I only see one on Aug 6. Does the Z Club organize any events?

Unfortunately there are not enough Z guys that are willing to drive their cars hard/far; nor enough to commit, in order for me to set up any type of driving events. I would end up losing my *** if I had to front money for anything.

So for now the ones of us who do drive, go to other organizations events, those who show go to shows/belong to other show teams, and when we do Z club events its for something fun

Plans are in the works for a big meet Aug 6. And I am gonna try to organize something fun in June. So keep checking back for new threads

Wait, isn't the Z a "driver's" car, meant to be driven? I can see this flakiness from the G guys. I kid I kid. I'll keep my eyes open, still a newb on these boards, but you guys seem to have more meets than I can find on g35driver.

I think it's a mid-atlantic issue, same when I had my 240 and then the G20.

Nah, you just came 3-4 years to late. There was much more people doing meets and stuff a few years ago.

Now everybody is trading the cars.

Lost, make the drive down to Bowie on Saturday, and you can ride shotgun in my car if you'd like for a run or two. I'm slow though.
