Just trying to get more Z out there on thunderhill. Only $125 thu NCRA:
http://www.ncracing.org/events.php

We can probably meet up in Bayarea somewhere and drive up there together. Anyone interested? $125 is a steal for a full track day with at least 5 sessions!

I will be in my Orange Z there.

 

Are these the same guys running SpeedVentures?

 

Nope, I dont think so, they are NCRC

 

Do anyone in this forum go to the track?

 

THIS IS TEMPTING. I'll sign up if I can get a new set of tires.

 

wow thats cheap @_@

 

They usually fill up fast, hurry and register

 

wow, u go every month, patrick?

 

Almost like every month recently. How about you? r u going?

 

hmm, probably not. More likely for october though.

 

Most in the NorCal forum do more show stuff with their cars than track stuff, however, there are 5 or 6 of us that are pretty dedicated to running on the track and go often with NCRC, speedventures, trackmasters, unlimitedlaps, greenflag, PCoA, HOD, etc., etc.

I attend 8-10 track events per year, and 10 or so autocrosses per year in addition.

 

Buttonwillow Oct 3rd with www.speedtrialusa.com.

Pchio, you track *****....you are going right? I know I am.

Scotts300, you are welcome to come with.

 

I might register for this. I haven't run thunderhill with the cyclone in a while.
I'll be at thunderhill the following weekend on Oct 3-4 with NASA, but running it backwards.

 

as soon as i eliminate my debt i will be a track **** too

just got to keep up my financial plan for now

 

i was at the last ncrc event in my miata...and it was a blast.

saw a couple Z's. Nismo white, orange w/ body kit (forget the name but i think it starts with an S...) running in point by, black with rpf-1, and another black one

 

i was the black Z w/ rpf1 and ran in Solo1 (registered late and was put in this group) with the white Nismo (forgot his SN...)
pchio is the orange Z in point-by
uglyduc, the other black Z in solo2?

 

nice! loved your wheels. I really need to take the Z to the track. I just dont want to go on stock pads, and dont want to spend money on new pads if i am going to take the Z only a couple times to the track.

what group where you planning on running in? i see you have 4 track days only. i myself only have about 10-12.

i am trying to get into spec miata racing by next year, so i have built the car to those specs and try to get out as much as my school loans allow.

nice seeing more and more Zs out there. i need to get a ride in one!

 

Yeah, I just started this year.
Should've been in Solo2. Solo1 was mixed w/ the driving school so some of the ppl were pretty slow.

I need to work on the heel-toe technique. really sucking at it or too concentrated into the braking that I don't downshift until after the turn or brake, downshift, more brake. Definitely slowing me down.

 

yeah i was lucky that i was really interested in how to heel toe ever since i started driving. i practiced in my old car all over town going into turns, and even coming to stops. by the time i got to the track i knew how to do it. It will get you a lot faster! it has to just come naturally, you have not think about it and it will just flow while braking in the braking zones before the turns. it takes some practice.

yeah some of my friends where in solo 1. White 89 bmw e30, it was his second track day. and another black miata w/ no hard top and red memory fab seats. he was pretty quick my sunday.

 

I can't make this.. too much going on with work

Late Oct/early Nov looks realistic for me. It'll give me some time to get a better seat and some dedicated wheels/tires. Roasted the re760's at the last event
