What events are those? Is that ur group the south central guys?

No, the SCCA is national... here's the link to the local area group: Susquehanna Region SCCA

Thinking about going once it gets warmer. They do Auto-X's out the wazoo. :icon17:

That's cool. I'm not a big auto x guy but its good to know so I can let others know

:tiphat:

Hey, another old fart. :D

Man, that's over in Harrisburg. Need something for us west of the ridges.

I know, they have different regional chapters everywhere, I was just linking the one for this area to give him an idea of what they are/do. The Pittsburg area SCCA link is: Steel Cities Region of the SCCA

:tiphat:

hey everyone!

quick update for everyone.

just saw today that the dates for this coming season of flashlight drags has been posted online at Flashlight Drags - Street Racing Without The Jail Time!

May 5th - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
June 2nd - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
July 7th - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
August 4th - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
September 14th - Saturday - Waynesburg PA

gates open at 11:30 for racers and about 12 for spectators.
drivers meeting is usually right around 1pm.
racing starts at 2pm

these events are always fun. from 2pm-430pm you can get alot of runs in even when there is a large group of cars there. along with fun runs there is a singles lane if you dont have someone to run.

also there is a "pink slips" race. they break you down into certain categories (big dogs, street, tuner, and trucks). they hand out 8 "pink slips" and if you dont get one you can challenge someone for theirs and if you have one you cant say no to a challenge. at 4:30 the 8 people holding slips for their class race each other until 1 remains. thats what i usually with a couple fun runs since people rarely see a 370 and want to race me.

depending on vacation plans later in the summer i should be at every one of these events.

Great info. Ill make a couple of these for sure. I have no plans of running but would enjoy meeting you all and cruizing up in the Z.

yea if youre in mo town it's a short drive for you. i actually went to college in waynesburg thats how i initially found out about these lol

i will be running in every event. unless by chance one week falls on whenever i possibly take a vacation. since i'm using some of my vaca days from work for ZdayZ in may my other plans are limited.

I would like to make a few, sounds like fun. Im gonna try and get some guys at work to come as well, its a mixed crowd, but good guys. I see they say no slicks, so I take it dot drag radials would be ok..dunno if you have any idea. Shane is rebuilding his neon and it now will be utterly useless on street tires...this thing is insane. I will have the clutch/flywheel in and hopefully tuned by then, considering some of the cars I was beating in the 1/4 last year with my 350 it should be fun, at least at PRP there are many people who cannot drive their cars...I like beating corvettes, mustangs and camaros!

Dot radials are fine but if you're running them they typically bump you up a class if you're running in "pink slip" races which I typically do. I'm there I paid so I figure might as well. It's a fun addition to just running.

Also the more the merrier bring whoever There are tons of different kinds if cars and even trucks. It's pretty cool watching some of the big diesel trucks running lol

Anyone have any local recommendations for powder coating? THere is a guy in my old hometown that did it, but I recently heard he went whacko with his pricing and its is astronomical...Got one suggest for a place in Delmont. My Southbend clutch and flywheel are sitting in my parents garage..:drool:

If you're up to the idea, Mike the Powdercoater is on the forum and is in GA, so you'd have to ship to him, but he does Great work with good prices. :ugh2:

When I get around to it. I'm shipping my calipers to him to do.

Hello!
 

Hey all,

Just wanted to say hi after stumbling across this thread related to our Pittsburgh area. I have a 2010 370 Silver Roadster here in Cranberry Township and have been looking for clubs/groups to hang out with.

I'll keep tabs on this thread to see what yinz are up to when spring rolls around. Only a few more months! :rofl2:

Rick

i've seen you before. i work in cranberry and noticed a silver and a white roadster. white roadster i think was driven by a female if memory serves.i have the Monterrey blue Z thats in cranberry during the week.

I don't know about you 'berry guys! :rolleyes:

i just work there bro lol :tiphat:

I found a place in export to do the powder, its a dedicated shop to only powered coating, 75 a wheel. They will be done next week.

If you want to just check prices there's a place right by me called prism something or other and they are dedicated powder coating too. I remember I asked them how much for all 4 sport wheels to get dipped black and then matching blue pinstripe on the edges and it was like 550 total since the blue was special order and labor.

got the wheels back and tubes, he did a great job, really pleased with his work. 340 for the 4 wheels and the intale tubes. check my journal for pics!

If anyone local needs a set of OE sport rotors I am swapping mine for r1 slotted rotors, they have 14k on them and I had them turned, none of them were warped, but having a brake lathe at work I decided it would be a good idea to clean them off. Accepting resonable offers, not looking to maximize profit here, other than that they are getting put in the scap pile.

Joepro, is it your white 370 I see parked near Smail Honda on 30 when I head in to work every day?

Up by the old Italian oven? That's our employee parking lot...I work at Honda. I had the car in the shop for a few weeks but its back in storage now, if I was recent then no, but hopefully this weather will break soon!

bout a month til the weather breaks. I can't wait. About to install my oil cooler soon :)

Yeah, by the Italian Oven! Small world. That's pretty cool. I used to see it just about every day on my way to work in Latrobe, but you're right, haven't seen it recently.

My parents bring their Pilot to the Honda dealership there. Great people working there imo.

Im in honda serivce, I am an advisor, I like to think so haha! They ever have a problem let me know, Ill take care of it.

hey guys just a heads up probably next month i'm going to be posting different meets and events in here as often as i know of any. most will probably be around the city but like for you two out latrobe/greensburg way i'll see what i can do and see if i can find anything going on out your way as well.

also recently i've been talking to the guys out by harrisburg and thinking about meeting up with them and some of the MD/VA guys for one of the early shows at carilse in May the weekend before ZdayZ. its the performance & style show.

heres the link to the thread if any of you guys wanna take a look and see if youre interested.

http://www.the370z.com/mid-atlantic-...nationals.html

I will try and make it to as many as I can, its not a far drive from greensburg, I have family all over the city, north sound west you name it! I did not go to any events with my 350 since it was an 03 and had a ton of miles ads was slightly embarassed by it haha.

better than rollin up in hyundai or somethin :bowrofl:

i'll be sure to do my best to let you guys know whats goin on in this thread. :tup:

:tup:

Agreed, let's fill the lot with Z's. :tup:

:iagree:

im actually checking my outage schedule now to see if i'm free and clear that weekend.

Hope so. :tup:

That show isn't going to know what hit them when we all roll up. :stirthepot:

Better stock up on cleaning/detailing products :icon17:

schedule just hit my inbox.....

i'm clear no need to even ask to switch dates. :tup:

on call first weekend of march, first weekend of april, and first weekend of may

At least its consistent. Sweetness!

yup and that means the only sunday flashlight drag race that it conflicts with is the first one in may but i've been here almost 3 years and i've never been called in on a outage weekend yet (cross fingers) :bowrofl:

I know it's a bit early but the first flashlight drags event is the first weekend in may. If like to get more Z's there instead of just me for once lol. I will def be there and if more of you come i have a nice 10x10 pop up tent and chairs so we all could make up some "pit" spots and hang out while we race. Even if you have no interest in running your car it's still a chance to hand out and see alot of nice cars run. Typically there are about 150-250 cars racing. Fewest ive seen there was 125 most was over 300. It's a great time.

Website is http://www.flashlightdrags.com has all dates, times, directions, etc.

I will prolly come out to one after the semesters over before Summer classes start to check it out and give you some competition ;)

I plan on it for sure! Like I said before working on a few guys at work to come down, Shane has ran into some issues with getting his car back together, got his block back from the machine shop and found a scratch between one of the water jackets, and he bough an upgraded trans input shaft but the company did not tell him it would not work in an 03 trans, his s an 03...I feel so bad for him, all he wants to do is get it back together.
