He used an iPhone, not sure it has a macro mode. Just move the camera further away until it is clear text in focus.

Hi, could you tell me how to do macro on iPhone, for future reference?

Thanks...

Thanks for trying to get the information out to the forum.

Thanks for the input.

So I subscribed. Can I get the issue we have been discussing as my first issue? It's worth $12 to have it filed away with the rest.

I think you are absolutely correct on adding the oil cooler on any car doing much track time.

Thanks,

To make sure that the issue you get is the current one, call the following number and ask for subscriptions: 1-212-807-7100. Or, email the subscriptions department at subscriptions@harris-pub.com. All you need to do is explain that you just signed up and that you'd like your first issue to be the April/May 2009 one. They'll take care of the rest.

Robert,

On my last run at the Dragon in my 335i I did not see any local law enforcement. It was mid week though.

Well, the last couple years I believe the state received extra Fed money which they used to "police" the Dragon...I've seen as many as 13 THP cars on one run but that was during the "season"...it is much different early or late in the season.

Of course, you don't have to drive like a bat out of hell to enjoy the Dragon and frankly, a lot of people who do try it that way probably shouldn't if you know what I mean!

I'm curious about what I run into tomorrow (Saturday) since we are now in April and it's supposed to be warm and sunny...we'll see!!!

That's because of how the jurisdiction is handled between Tennessee and North Carolina. Neither one likes to deal with it, and if you go off the road they will airlift you out, but only after they find you as mobile reception is a bit lacking.

Jurisdiction really isn't an issue as 95% of the Dragon is in Tennessee and trust me, the last few years the THP has been there in force!

The resolution to the issue will most likely not be through the enthusiast but rather through the daily driver, like my wife, who is not a track/sports oriented enthusiast. As it stands (and even Matt has diplomatically done a CYA) the blanket caveat of driving it hard will be Nissan's default to the why you are having the issue. However, as I stated, when the daily commuter starts having this issue then Nissan can no longer default to the rote disclaimer.

Now, if owners contact Nissan stating they are simply driving the 370Z obeying traffic laws, and daily driving...

There are a lot of politics over that road, and that area (my mother now lives in Maryville, and was born in Robbinsville, I too spent time in Robbinsville).

alan93rsa · 04-03-2009, 05:06 PM

With the economy there is now another reason to police the Dragon.

Bottom line, get an oil cooler and take it to the track of your choice.
