Default NCRC @ Thunderhill 7/30 (sat)

I ran with this group last week and thought they were great! Lots of time and very safe. Wish I could have made the Z day though Anyway, they have an event coming up at the end of July and I wanted to pass along the word. They also have a special for new members where they waive the $40.00 yearly dues and give 33% off the normal $245.00 early bird price. PM me if you would like the details as their early bird pricing ends 7/9. They also give a $50.00 credit to members like me who sign up new members Anyway, it would be great to run with some other Z's seeing how I missed the Z day so if you are interested let me know.

Do they have a web page? Can we sign up on line? I'm interested since that's my B-day and I want to give myself a gift.

They do. It is www.ncracing.org I'm assuming that is your roadster in the pic, if so you should definitely clear running with the factory hoops before signing up (unless you have roll bar or cage installed). And Happy Birthday - that's an excellent gift yo yourself! I'll see you there if you go as I'm already registered

Default I made the last event

This is a great group. Good range of groups around driving experience. I am also registered for the July 30. Look forward to seeing other Z's

I was the Brickyard coupe last event. I had a great time. This group is very freindly and always helpful. They have coaches for newbees manditory, and coaching at the higher levels available upon request.

Cool C Ray Z. We met briefly last event but we were on opposite ends up the paddock. I'd like to get another chance to check out your cage as I've been in touch with TC since I last saw your car. See you there.

I checked out their web pg and the rules for convertibles DQ me. I have run my car at Thunderhill before before with Club Z and there was no problem with the stock roll bar on the 350Z roadster. I guess they have different standards.

Probably best to email the organizers just to clarify if you still want to attend.

Rear caliper rebuild kits are very cheap.

That's the weekend of the san jose grand prix. I'd like to try that club out some day.

There is a nasa event at infineon on August 6th? Anyone interested? It's only $150, but you don't get nearly as much track time. I've already signed up.

I've never been to Infineon so I'll try to make it out.

Looks good. Make sure you put some proper pads in those things because you will ruin your axxis ultimates very quickly on the track.

Indeed. A friend is going to let me borrow a newish set of Pagid pads to try out so I'm really looking forward to it.
