We'll see, My car hasn't been over 4500 RPM yet, LOL. Only have 1400 miles. Yes, I know the break-in is over, so we'll see.

See you all on Saturday, BTW, where is the Larkspur exit? Is that near Castle Rock?

I will show up, weather permitting. I heard Sat is suppose to be really windy?

Chas-

Just to clarify: we're meeting at the southbound rest stop just south of the Larkspur exit. Both Larkspur and the rest stop are several miles south of Castle Rock

A little wind we can handle. Saturday is looking better and better. Crossing my fingers along with everybody else!

Z&02Max, Since you live in COS I would just wait along the interstate in COS and join us as we cruise thru on the way to Pueblo. That would save you the drive to Larkspur to just turn around and drive back the same direction. Just a thought.

Sounds good, I'll just hang at the closest stop before CS. What time can I expect you all to come through the Springs. 0915 ish..

By the time we get everybody going, I think it might be closer to 9:30 am before we get to the Springs. Just look for the biggest group of Z's you ever saw and follow us down!

David, I may have gotten one more to join from the z club meeting. He has been to the z club track days but not with your 350z groups at pmi. He does know a few of the other guys that did that.

OK, everybody- it's Friday and it's a beautiful, sunny day outside! The forcast for tomorrow is for slightly warmer temps (high 40's- low 50's), so I think our PMI day is a definite GO!

Please be sure to check your stuff: brakes and pad life, retorque wheels and pack helmet(s). It may be chilly tomorrow morning, so you may need to adjust tire pressures once we get to the track. Again, my recommendation is to start at 35# front and 35-36# rear, but stay under 40# as the tires heat up during the day. I think we have 10-12 cars (not all Zs), and I expect we'll all have some fun. I 'll see everyone at the rest stop just south of Larkspur (or on I-25 on the way to Pueblo)!

David, did you say you can bring a torque wrench?

I guess I will need to bring a warmer jacket, my foot is only big enough to cover 2 of the floor pan holes in the 240. ;-)

David, thanks for giving me a ride in your car. It's amazing how the car can perform with a good driver.

Good seeing some more Z owners. Next time I'll put the stock tires on and run my car, then I'll really have to be careful. My car likes to get squirly when I get on the accelerator.

Darrell, that 240 Z was amazing. Love that exhaust sound. You had it on two wheels a few times there.

And last but not least, thanks Jesse for showing up. Too bad we couldn't get a run in your car. Maybe next time.
One word about your car, OMG!

Oops, forgot about David's car, here you go. Thanks again for letting me be a passenger, you are one heck of a driver.
