I'll be there on the 20th, but can't make it on the 21st. I rarely get to run with other Z33 nowadays.

Default Going Oct 23

Sorry to miss the fun but my other club has a race at Thunderhill October 23.

If anyone is interested in no contact Club racing PM me. I belonng to Checkered Flag Racing Association that has a racing team as one of it's groups. You have to have 15 Days of track time and the car has to have at least a 4 point roll cage and fire extinusher. You need a single layer suit and a Han's device. But it is a blast. You would need to also be active in the club and be approved to join the race team as of driving style and speed.

I'll contribute to the pix :-)

I got down to 2:12's with stock tires so I'm pretty happy.

This is my second time out on a car. I've done many days on a bike though.
I don't think the stock tires as much of a problem when compared to the brakes.
The most aggressive pads I could find for the front(06's are different) were project MU B-Force pads, and they faded big time. I would say there's 1-1.5 seconds lost because of braking.

I want to try all the options though before going BBK.

dnguyent, it was nice meeting you and your friend Calvin on the M3.

Wheather was nice!
