I am happy to report that I did my first HPDE event recently and it was just awesome. I did the Spring Fever event at NHMS with the BMW CCA.

First off, I would like to thank the board as a whole and especially members like AK and Rusty and others that have shared so much useful information. It is contributions like theirs that make it possible for the rest of use to do good research, modify our cars and get them to perform. I am a research junky and have spent countless hours on various forums learning, but only contributing the limited amount I am capable of giving.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! and if you read any of my contributions please keep in mind that I do not consider myself an expert but rather an informed participant.

So, based on what I learned here, my Nismo was well prepped for the first of what will surely be many great track days.

My instructor was impressed with the setup of the car. He took us out on our first 3 laps of the day and commented many times how well the car was setup. Obviously I can't take much credit for the Nismo itself, but having the right brakes/fluid and oil cooler made my Z super reliable. His first comment when he stepped on the brakes was "That's Authoritative!" :-)

Pics and some video to be posted. soon.
