That was with Steve Millen driving. Of course he'll smoke any of us. He's a pro.

He'd smoke us in a Civic.

And that was when my revup Z was totally stock... even with an open diff.
No LSD, no sways or R-tires.

I'll bet 1/2 of the GTR's at the track will be owned by drivers of only low to moderate experience. Then there will be a small handfull of real pros to keep away from.

Heck, I remember one event at Buttonwillow where there was literally a stripped down civic that was handing every body their azz on a platter.

Joe,

If you are looking to do a track session sponsored by Jspec, I'm down for that.

If you do it through another group, I'll give a +1 to Speed Ventures. They are a good group to run with.

True, but that's not easy when you have to rely on other people.

Thats why payments will be taken before hand...that makes it a little easier..and when some one pays the money it costs to go to the track they will show up...

+1 for Speed Ventures. It would also be cool if we could do a special run session for a Z challenge kind of like what Redline does for the Focus Challenge.
