I could only manage one day off during the week, was either SEMA or GTR track day at SMMR, out of 20 GTR's only one was faster than my friend in his S2K. 24 cars total, no run groups.

Next year I'll plan ahead a little better.

Well car is packed and ready to roll to SOW

Did you run your Z during that day or were you just instructing the GT-R guys?

Wow 1:25, that is moving at SoW CW. Anyone thinking of Buttonwillow in Dec 22 or 23 with Speedventures? I might make it out to that one.

That is with a bobble too. Once the front aero is finished , add a hair of camber , and slight damper adjustments , I want a 1;24 dammit.

I also need to tweak the ECU map a bit for the header install. My wideband is going on this week, just a street tune is being done on this motor.

I had a great time at SOW this past weekend I also set my personal best at the track (which wasn't hard since I've never ran this config) with a 1:28.984 I was hoping for low 1:29 to high 1:28 which I was able to do even with the Hay Bale chicane which slows you down about 1 sec according to a friend that runs the track quite often.

Here are a few pictures.

First one is my lap times in my final session
Second on is of my Z and my Titan I used to tow it from San Diego with.
and Third one is an amazingly clean Mercedes 300sl that was hanging out over by the big track.
