track time, there is no substitute. I didn't see but one time where I ever touched the yellow like and it was only half a tire on my side on a clear corner. That is driving in control, within our limits, and leaving some on the table whatever might come up. I think i only went to 2nd a couple of times and only went to 4th twice in that run.

I was sandbagging a little bit, I didn't have a passenger to scare the crap out of. Sorry if I was holding you up MIke.

Went to 2nd a couple of times? Surely you mean 3rd? No way you were running that in 1st gear LOL.

I need to AutoX. Even at ZDayz I learned the Z can do way more than I thought it could.

Not sure what suspension setups y'all are running? Coilovers I assume? I just have Tein-S tech and Tokico blues.

There was a couple times in the vid where you crossed, but not in a blind corner and definitely not by much.

Oh okay I gotcha. Interpreted that backwards. I was sitting there like "umm, I ran 2nd most of the time and into 3rd and I wasn't going nearly that fast!"

I wasn't going to call him on it, but I noticed too. It was usually going into the turn, not in the middle or coming out which is where the danger happens. And even if he was over, it was barely.

Not sure what suspension setups y'all are running? Coilovers I assume? I just have Tein-S tech and Tokico blues. Tires are Falken FK452s 245/40/18 and 275/40/18.

When do you think the awards will be posted on the Zdayz site? I want to see how ridiculous I look in the pictures taken lol

I'm running coilovers, sway bars, strut bar, fender braces, front/rear lower tie bars, and front/rear camber/toe correction kits.

Autocrossing will help learn the car at low to moderate speeds. Track days with instructors will help with higher speeds.

I do more autocrossing than anything, but I have done one track day. What I learned at the autocross helped me catch on quicker at the track day.


I think you're on the right track if you want to learn how to drive your Z better.

Coilovers, Sways, Adjustable camber and toe Bits. Tires were NT01s 275/35/18 and 315/30/18. Really not a fan of that much stagger, car tended to push rather harshly, but I got the tires for cheap.

I hope to get all of the pitures in my hands soon. I hope to havee the dam foto and the winners up by the end of the week. The rest takes time.

Holding me up? Having you up there helped me "see" around the blind turns.

All I want for ZDayZ next year is new shocks, wider tires, and more seat time.

If I get that 370Z, then I will either be unloading my 350 or parts of it if it goes back to stock. Those 17x9s wont fit the 370Z unless I swap the BBKs. If the potential buyers fall through on my Z then you are fist in line for goodies.

For the record, Bryan was textbook fast, and had good lane discipline.

This is poor lane discipline and it's not Bryan... (before anyone asks, this is from two years ago and I don't know who it is, they passed a semi on 28, on the double yellow, and I let them go.)

Thats the crap that kills right there...

Thanx for the compliment Mike. I will say that you were driving a lot harder than I was that morning. Send me a CD with all of the chatter going on, I'm curious Besides I love the sound of tires squalling.
