nismo= played out.
nismo V2 bumper= fiberglass...blah.
INGS= billy thinks its ugly...so i cant have it on my car. hahaha (plus cant find a replica)

Cwest= best buy for my cash...

Shiawase, I'm definitely planning on going to the BMWCCA 2 day event at Grattan on Sept. 13-14. I may go to the July 16th Lotus club event at Waterford. I kinda want to get a couple auto-x's with these tires before I hit the track tho.

http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...20E1DF5E705CFB

Anybody care to join?

Billy, I ended up buying a used set of (4) 18x8.5 Nismo Rays Track Wheels with 255/40 Falken Azenis RT615's. The tires are used and probably have maybe 2 or 3 more track events left. The cool thing is that normally Rays track wheels are 18x8 FR and 18x8.5 RR. But the previous owner bought two sets and sold all fronts. Now I can swap my wheels/tires anytime, anywhere, without dismounting tires

I'm up for auto-x and HPDE. Is the Lotus thing a HPDE @ Waterford? How does that work - do you need to join their lotus club in order to attend?

Waterford Hills OTD tomorrow. Looks like nice weather - hot but, nice.

I have to say I am intrigued by the Waterford July 16th even as well.

How much is it and where do you sign up.
I want to track this thing before I get rid of it...

So BMW hasn't put up the official registration form. But my rough estimate is that it'll cost around $300 since a 1 day event is $150 or so.

As for the Lotus event, non-members are usually 20 bucks more expensive but once you attend the first event, the extra 20 bucks acts like a membership fee and you then basically are a member after the first event.

Lemme know who's all really interested in which event and I'll sign up too.

And keep in mind that the cost is almost similar to an OTD, except you have your own personal instructor riding with you each session and critiqueing you. And most of the time you can ride in their cars too

edit: Just looked, 160 for non-members. And membership is additional $40 if anybody's interested. Deadline is next Monday, so make your decisions ppl!!

edit2: Also completely forgot that you need to do a tech-inspection at a certified mechanic before each event. Since this is so last minute we might not be able to make it. Plus I'll be out of town for the weekend. So probably look towards an event in Aug or something.

edit3: Just looked, SEMPCA has an event Aug. 14th. Same thing, 1 day HPDE at Wateford. I'll try to get more info but my first HPDE was with SEMPCA and it was put together really well and the classroom session was very helpful.

I've yet to try Waterford because Steve's video of spinning out scares me.

Did anyone else sign up for Street Legal's drag day this week? Just in case you didn't hear about it, they've got Milan rented out for thursday(the 17th) night. It's $25 to run a car as much as you want, or $5 to spectate. They need money by 7:00 wednesday night if you want to do it. Just go in and talk to Steve if you want to sign up. I'm hoping I'm not the only Z running that night. Maybe we could have a little Z caravan out there if a few more people sign up from here.

I would love to see your car do some runs. I saw it when Jan had it at Speed Industry, but obviously I didn't get to see it in action.

I think Steve from Street Legal posted on xceedspeed that there is still almost 30 spots available. So there is no worry about it filling up, but he does need the money by wednesday night.
