HyperFest 13: Saturday June 15th

I'm guessing despite all your troubles that you made it home alright?

It was nice meeting you by the way, thanks for all the extra fuel that I ended up needing. I had a blast out there this weekend. I think I did well in HPDE1, the intructor said I could do group 2 next time (at the same track) or ride solo. Can't wait to go again. I may do VIR next month.

My clutch master cylinder failed on me at the track last year. I have become rather good at driving without a clutch. I drove home 50 miles without a sweat.

And if you decide to keep doing track days in your 370Z I suggest that you do a little internet research and at least understand the concept of driving without a clutch. It may save you one day.

The basics are as follows:

1. While ignition is off. Place your car in first gear and depress the clutch pedal.

2. Now press the ignition button. The starter motor will fire and begin moving your car forward. Next the ignition will fire (have you ever pushed started a manual vehicle) and you will be traveling in first gear.

3. Apply throttle and wait until you are around 3000 RPM. Now pull the gear lever out of 1st and apply pressure towards 2nd gear. The gear lever will then drop into 2nd gear.

4. The same concept will work for all other forward gears and downshifting. The syncro-rev feature only makes it easier to do in our cars.
