I think this is overdue for me. Primarily this will be a video log on my progress as a HPDE driver I guess and to document some of the stuff I have done with my Z. I have taken allot of Ideas from the community and tried to apply them whether it be mods or driving suggestion and setup.
I purchased my 2012 PW Nismo when I turned 48 last June. When I bought it I had never heard of HPDE or autocross until I found this site. I think it was Rusty's Journal and some of his videos that got me thinking about finding something to do with the car other than drive around town. Miller Motor Sports Park (MMP) runs an event during the summer called W.O.W or Wide open Wednesday. So in i think Aug or Sept of 2013 I went to the my first WOW event and had a great time. The flag girl that day said a HPDE event was coming up so I got the info and signed up. Started reading all the threads I could find etc..
Well I had a blast and was hooked. I used to jump out of airplanes for a living and I think I was missing a little bit of the thrill I got before I retired from the Army.
My aim is to continually improve my skill and understanding of the car when pushing it within my comfort zone.
