Default Thunderhill Track Day Pics/Vids

We had a blast at T-hill yesterday. Temps were cool, to cold, to rainy at last session. HookedOnDriving is a class act. Great event. They gave a way 5-6 sets of Yokohama tires.I won a $50 gas card!
Our crew was Scott(Z32TT), Kurt(Darshu) in his Z33, Wade(Miata), Ben(RX-7), Sacto(SVTFocus) and I in my Z33. This event had the most Z33(about 7) I have ever seen!
I ran my 19" Volk CE28N's with Bridgstone S-03PP street tires since I can't afford track wheels/tires Much better than stock tires, but I still want some Hoosiers!

Pictures are posted here:

My Z

Scott's 300Zx TT

Kurt's Z

Ben's LS-1 Rx-7

An instructor's 350z, could this be my new track wheel/tire setup?

Thanks for posting the pics/vids, Alvin! Kurt - I was able to get the tire on the trailer changed right there on the roadside. A few hours and a few hundred coin later, and I was back on my way home. Are you going to the Seca event 10/2?

Zs rule.

Hello! What did you think of the Advan tires? Are they street tires?

The cop called roadside tire service, who change the trailer flat quickly once he got there.

Seca on the 2nd is with speedventures.com. Let's do it! (I'm already signed up).

Just got em a few weeks ago as a street tire... so far so good. the neovas are a awesome tire. unfortunately i could not get them in a 265/40/18.

Im running the Advan Sports in that size all 4 corners and im quite impressed!
got the wheels from Subydude. Awesome track/street wheel setup! bang for buck you cannot beat it hands down.

The advan sports are no RA-1 but for a street tire that can handle the brutal punishment that i put on tires on a track and still not chunk themselves to death! they have my vote
