I've PM'd a few people about non-Nissan interest from other willing participants. At this point, I'd like to give every Nissan/Infiniti/Datsun driver out there first shot at this! There are some members of other Nissan boards that have expressed interest in this, but no confirmed entries.

 

Hey David, PM me with the payment instruction and I'll find out on Thursday if I could take the day off. Thanks.

 

Track time, Instruction, Dinner, Subscription....

Dave: Thanks for setting this up. Is there a cut off date when you’ll stop taking applicants? In need to figure out my work schedule and do a quick inventory of Tires, rotors, pads, etc. Hopefully this week I’ll know if I’ll be attending.
David

 

At this point, I'll probably be cutting off the class due to size rather than a specific date. Let me know ASAP and let us know if there's any parts NOT in your inventory that someone else might have. As I've said, I still have those feathered 225/45-18 Bridgestones that I'd be willing to DONATE to get someone on to the track.

 

Any updates for us David? Who attending? Syllabus for day's events? Just curious, no rush.

 

Three weeks to go and the confirmed list grows:

1. JGray (confirmed)
2. Mspivey (confirmed)
3. Dave 90TT (confirmed)
4. Robert K (confirmed)
5. Casuale17 (confirmed)
6. Resolute (pending)
7. Amarao (pending)
8. Abishop (possible)
9. Mudd (possible)
10.. Bottom (possible)
11. Funkeymonkey1111 (possible)
12. Bamyi (possible)
13. Kaiser (?)

This Saturday (2/17) I'll be posting only the first part of the syllabus, but be prepared- the overall course materials will cover at least a dozen pages! Some will be reprints of past articles published in different magazines and will most likely be handed out at the event itself.

 

David,

Would it be easier to e-mail the syllabus to us? That way we could print it out also. I'll pm you my e-mail address if needed.

Resolute, Amarao, Abishop, Mudd, Bottom, Funkeymonkey1111, Bamyi, Kaiser; What are you waiting for!

 

Just received my brake pads.

EBC YellowStuff Race Pads (F&R)

So stoke for the racing season!!!

 

If anyone else is planning on staying at the Wingate Inn, I'd suggest making a reservation soon. I just got off the phone with them and they are down to just a handful of king smoking rooms.

 

Thanks for thinking of the non Nissan people. My buddy with the KO4 audi would love to go, if there is space. He would be fine with staying in the back and out of the way of the nissans since this is a nissan event. If you need extra people ill tell him and he will send payment. Thanks for putting this together, cant wait till its track time!

 

I'm waiting for fuel injectors and such. Damn vendor I bought from is having issues with RC, so my project is delayed.

If they don't get a move on it soon then this dog aint goin huntin.

Mudd

 

Money.

 

Brian- what kind of huntin' dawg ya got there? Just put the OEM injectors back in and get into the action! Since you've been to PMI before, you know it's much more about the driving than having the car maxed out anyway.

 

Wait. You're kidding me, right?

 

i'm waiting on work issues to resolve, and cannot commit to a spot until resolution occurs.

 

High Performance Driving Course (HPDC)

Purpose: Nissan Sport Magazine is committed to raising the standard of driving excellence and knowledge throughout North America. This course is designed to introduce practical concepts of vehicle dynamics to build a greater understanding on how they impact car/driver performance on both the street and track. Participants will explore a greater range of their vehicles’ performance envelope and both learn and rehearse various car control skills. Key goals include reducing reaction time to avoid accidents in the real world, as well as development of both judgment and physical skills necessary to safely operate a vehicle on the racetrack.

Course content: The following topics are representative of those covered in the course. Actual course content may be customized to include individual customer requirements as well as specific circuit information.

*Introduction and classroom session:
*Presentation of specific circuit safety information.
*Introduction of vehicle dynamic concepts.
*Discussion of optimal driver seat and hand positioning.

*On track exercises:
*Threshold braking exercises and use of peripheral vision for timing.
*Accident avoidance exercises blending braking and steering.
*Cone chicane and car control exercise.

*Racetrack and HPDC sessions:
*Walk and drive with point-to-point introduction of the circuit.
*Follow-the-leader track exercises with gradually increasing speeds.
*Side-by-side track tour exercise with partner.
*HPDC driving sessions with limited passing rules in effect.
*Full HPDC sessions may be broken into differing experience levels.
*Safety check-offs with instructor(s).

Program note: Sessions will be conducted with feedback provided to every participant immediately following each exercise. Participants may request instructors ride with them, but this may not always be practical. Safety will be the overriding priority for each session. Any participant who fails to follow specific safety rules or direction from the instructor(s) will be asked to leave the course and will not be entitled to PMP certification.
