It was great meeting so many of you this morning. Here's a pre-run shot at Denny's.

Frenzee, Ask wld350z to make you a custom Camera Mount off the passenger side headrest. Then you can keep on line with less distractions.

Cheers Amy -

On the other side, very good movies, Frenzee.

You might also consider one of the little remote cameras. I have one from ChaseCam that attaches to the windshield (or any other flat surface) with suction cups, but I haven't tried it with the camcorder yet.

I know. What I really need is a co-pilot/navigator/cameraman!

Nice run everyone, even with the additional traffic.

This run made me realize something that I hadn't thought much about prior.

On the previous (2) canyon runs I did (Simi Valley in late 2002 and Palomar in early 2003), all the Z's involved were basically set-up the same, as there were not any performance mods available yet (save for maybe a CAI or a grounding kit). There was a certain level of confidence a person could have, that with some basic driving skills, you knew your Z should be able to handle a certain group of twisties as well as the Z in front of you.

I realized this weekend that this is no longer as true. There is a very good chance that the Z you are following has capabilities that exceed your own, be it vehicle modifications, or driver experience.

Just something that I will keep in mind on the next run, and maybe something others might benefit from thinking about too.
