I think that's me, but I still haven't done the road course thing...yet. I do at least two days of autocrossing/month sometimes 4 or more. And our venue is a bit fast for autocrossing, the courses are about a mile long and often have me deep in third...just before I have to stand the car on her nose for a turn. 
Blue Z, skinny blond wife, (BTW, she started autocrossing and she is the fastest novice I have ever seen.)

you wont like it, but you can drive mine.
hmm, when I was talking to the Kuhmo rep, he stated that they were for SCCA street tire classes (200 compound).
I ahve a buddy running a 275/275 setup and he ain't liking them. I'll what his starting pressures are in June at CMP, he might be getting them greasy. but that sound like the MX pressures I was running. IDK, tires are like wmoen, that is why they so many many different styles and sizes, we all have our taste in them.

My MX's were 40ish for the rear 46-48 for the front.
But I only have about 1.5 neg camber up front.

I stand corrected on the compound, freaking SCCA 140 drop off, that ain't no street tire, LOL. that is almost bubble gum.
They overheated too soon for me too.

After I realized that he intended to keep that pace, I had to remind him that I don't have the Brembos (like him) and he was only going to get "about three more of those" before things got interesting.
I don't think I can pass up the chance to drive that beast of yours though.

I have about 2.2 in the back 1/8" toe in rear, and 1/8" toe out on the front. (Just from lowering my Z) It has had the alignment "checked" twice but never adjusted.

Matt I feel ya. I used to AutoX the Lightning. I went to an AutoX put on by some miata group. There was a set of cones that the truck simply wouldn't fit through. I even pulled out the tape measure to prove it. They didn't want to concede that they were wrong, so every pass I punted to two damn cones into the next county. "f" them.

Just remember, my brakes are the itty-bitty stockers. When I let Hunter try out my Koni's, he was diving into the corners like I do on the track.....when I know I only have to go a mile....
After I realized that he intended to keep that pace, I had to remind him that I don't have the Brembos (like him) and he was only going to get "about three more of those" before things got interesting.

Sure? He has to move on Friday. Apparently he has been renting that house for ~18 months. The people he rents from never made asingle payment to the bank and the bank foreclosed on the rentee. He got the boot, for no reason what so ever other than having a POS as a landlord. Must be getting bad out there. It would be one less thing he has to move.
Was that your wife driving or you? Holy rolling bat dump man. That was rolling pretty hard.

Colin was driving the GTR and he hates traffic far worse than I do. The VW pilot was a tool, driving an R32 like a boat, that thing should have been in a 4 wheel drift in every turn. He is an SCCA race driver, apparently of note too. whatevah! That was the intrsuctor group! hmm.

I've seen a few 370z now in the local area and I'm pumped to see them curving around the dragon!
