Default Possibility of a Pueblo Motorsports Safety class

Some Z pilots have expressed interest in another PMP safety class and track day. The date available would be this fall: Monday, October 27th. If this is something you could COMMIT to, please post here. To make it cost effective, we need at least ten participants!

^^ you have my vote to attend. You are more active than most Z owners! Who's SuperJupi?

Sweet. Almost half way there. I know a few non-nissan owners who might be interested as well but I'll wait to see how this list goes first.

SuperJupi is a friend of mine who will be buying the G. This will ensure he knows how to drive it correctly. lol

If we get 10 to commit, it'll be $150/car for an exclusive day. If we get more, we can drop the price a bit...

Of course you're welcome! But you'll have to watch out during the open track sessions that someone doesn't run you over, or not see you.

I might be able to make this. Let me keep an eye on the schedule and make a decision as we get closer to October.

Joel

edit: I'd like to get Glenda in on this at least for the cone drills, probably not on the track though (unless she really wants to).

Tell Glenda that we'll take good care of her Altima Coupe. It'll be perfectly safe if she ventures out onto the track with us AND she'll learn a TON from the experience!

It's the end of her employer's quarter that week and there's typically a big sales push that week. She says it's doubtful that she'll be able to make it but will give it her best effort to attend.

Not that Dave needs me to say this, but for anyone on the fence, just do it! This is the best driving instruction I have ever had, and an outstanding time, as well

Thanks for the testimonials, guys! For those still sitting on the fence, I've been doing these events for six years now and we've NEVER had a serious accident in any of them. Using structured coursework with driving exercises, its a good, affordable and safe way to introduce new Nissan drivers to performance driving.

The overall success of the program IMHO is that some participants have gone on to participate in other SCCA or NASA events with excellent results. Like any sport, good fundamental skills are always valuable and can help in everything from avoiding an accident to developing speed.

I'd like to go, however I probably won't have the G35 by that time...I'd either be driving the 944 spec car or the RX-7. If that's ok...sign me up!

P.S. - I'm known as Ranger on MHZ and other local forums. The name was taken here. Even though I'm selling my G35, I'm still a huge Nissan fan and active in the local car scene. I think some of the MHZ guys will vouch for me

2. 350ZMPH - Thomas
3. Amarao - Exige
4. SuperJupi - G35 Coupe
5. Alteus AKA Ranger - RX7 or 944

If you can only make weekends then why don't we see you at NASA events?!
