We have drifting this saturday and TNT on sunday. I have a guy coming out to quote paving next week. I want to expand into the drifting as much as possible. Going to talk with the guys over the weekend to figure out the best potential layout if we added more pavement. Asphalt is like gold right now because it's connected to the price of oil, it's insane.

yeah i acutally work with the Triad Z club out of winston and Gboro plus some local groups of Z owners, we might could do some type of my350z day there if people are interested.
That'd be awesome. If you can get 20 or so guys together, I'll sell you a discounted ticket so you guys can get in cheap. I'll set aside some parking so you guys can all be together. I'm about as flexible an owner as you'll find track wise. We'll do whatever we can to get people out there. Our main thing is that people have fun. I don't put up with a lot of BS at the track. My rule is simple, as soon as someone causes a problem at the track, they're banned for a year. Ask the guys that tried fighting at bigdog.

What's considered a fast time for a 350z? I know there are quite a few TT one's out there. Hell, I've even raced some in my truck on hwy 85 . If I can get 8 FAST 350z's, I'll let them run in a shootout class on bigdog in front of 4k people

Boy you can see that turbo doing it's work on the back half with that type of MPH on the 11.60ish cars. As an example, my viper truck ran 10.90's at 123 with a twin screw supercharger. I'll be building a turbo car over the spring/summer. I can't wait, never had one

what kind of project you have in mind?

BTW Mike, see you saturday if you are out there for the drift event. I will have the car shown in my avatar, not drifting, just hanging out with the Project Auto Salon guys.

aww very cool!! just so happens I work for a Dodge dealer and we have two certified Viper techs so if you need any help let me know. I don't work in the parts dept. however those guys are big car guys and drag racers so if you need anything, let me know and I will just bring it home with me, I live off exit 138.

Last year at ZdayZ there was a TT Viper GTS that was just sick...stupid

Underground racing will be building it. It will be either an 05-06 vert. I'm not sure I'll race it at the track, as it's another 10k worth of upgrades to make it track ready. It should be able to run high 9's and low 10's for sure on factory street tires. In full race trim, well into the 9's, with a cage, 8's.

Charlotte. They are the premier builders of vipers. They hold almost every major record there is.
