Northwest Track Day/Auto-X/Drag Strip Thread
 

Hey all, figured I'd start a thread specifically for sharing events, results and pics of track days, drag racing and autocrossing or anything racing-related like arranging a meet at a karting place like Pacific Grand Prix to either race or watch a drifting event or whatever.

Anyhow, to start it off, I'll be out in Spec Jay's neck of the woods next Sunday 5-29 for the BSCC Novice Autocross event, check out the link if interested.

Great Idea!
 

Here's just 3 pictures from 5/19 at Pacific Raceways

Nice looks fun bro I wanna make it to one these. Soon.
How does the Z hold up to the Porches..

Quite well due to the handling. The straights though they pull ahead. With the HPDE days they will get flagged if they don't let the "faster" car by. I've been passing quite a few lately due to my setup and general driving since everyone drives at their comfort level.

The best compliment I got was from a driver of an Audi R8. We were playing tag a bit during the session, afterwards I went to say hi and he says "your car is quick"………I'm still smiling about that.

Sunday's BSCC Novice Auto-X
 

Here's a few pics from last Sunday, had an absolute blast but after that I'm afraid I'm going to have to start taking it seriously... :driving: My best time with one cone down was a 67.489, the best time I saw was an instructor's ~61s run in a Tacoma X-runner of all things, but then serious skill and slick tires can make a huge difference!

^ Nice! Car sounds good! Now …..the coilovers :tup:

Thanks! I'm thinking baby-step my way to coilovers, some Stillen sway bars would help level out some of that body roll from being so high off the ground...

there's a lapping day at PGP on June 8th, here's a link with more info if anyone wants to come

just so people don't think i'm a spammer, I used to have a 350Z and signed up here when I was thinking of buying a 370Z, but I ended up with an Evo... just posting this here to see some 370's out there...

anyone? its this wednesday...

Dude I need to start doing that, we need to talk so you can let me know what i need to do to get started...

I'm running there tomorrow on the road course. Private lapping day………..pretty sweet!

At some point this summer I plan on taking a day off for that, probably sometime in July or August when the weather has the least probability of rain.


Don't need to do much other than show up to an event, register and start driving. I'm going to try and make the July 3rd event with BSCC and the NWDE Clothing Optional event :rolleyes: on July 10th.

Jealousy, I has it :tup:

My wife will take pictures primarily but I'll shoot a few as well and post.

plan on August 10th, I'm trying to get together a diverse crowd of imports for that day, so its not just 15 s2k's and 3 other cars... :D
