Well the 2013 season is here and the good news is that NASA now has a Northwest region. I will be partisapating in HPDE this year with them and then move to Time Trials next year, I have to figure out there point system for classing in TT. If your interested in taking your car to the track they should be a good group to work with and they have 4 levels of HPDE with intructors for level 1 & 2. They have dates at all four of the NW tracks. Check out their website

Excellent news, thanks for the link. Getting ready for June 1-2 at the The Ridge. Hope to see some folks out at the track. :tup:

Went out for the first event that NASA has held in the NW last weekend. Any of you that are thinking about going to the track for the first time I would recomend them. They have four HPDE classes and have instructors for everyone in the HDPE 1 group. They were well organized and have events at all the NW tracks. New month they are at The Ridge.

Here's a few laps around Pacific Raceway

NASA had their 3rd event in the NW this last weekend at PIR in Portland. Only one Z and my G. Need to see some more of you out there. Was hoping to see JDHeart but he wasn't there

how'd you get all the straight and cornering info up?

Oh I was there, lol. Unfortunately, my Z did not survive Saturday so I was forced to pack up and head home with my broken car. Lost my clutch on Saturday during the third session and didn't want to risk additional damage by trying to push the car any further. I promise, PIR has not seen the last of me. Hope you had a great Sunday and I will post up when I can play again. right now, I am looking at hitting PIR again for the NASA day in October. :tup:

Do you have to be part of a club to go out at PIR or just kind of show up for the event and run.

This past weekend was an event with NASA and you do have to be a member with them to participate. It is very easy to join and only requires a small enrollment fee to get in. Most events are put on by various clubs so you just have to join it and sign up for the event you want. This was my first year with NASA but I have been with other (sportbike) clubs before and they put on a pretty great event.:tup:

I use a app on my IPhone called Harry's Lap Timer. It use's the GPS from your phone. Here's another video when I had it turned on

JDHeart, I was looking a the pictures from this weekend and see that you must have been there on Saturday, I'm planning on both days at Pacific in September. Hope to see you there.

How did the new tires work out

New tires were great, once I got into my third session they seemed to really come in and I can still see the evidence of just how sticky they got.

I will be trying to make it to Pacific in September and maybe PIR again in October. Still quite a bit of work left to get my Z back running again. Fortunately, I towed it to Portland so I was able to get it home. Just ordered quite a few parts and supplies so the Z will live again very soon. :tup:

What happened?

I appear to have boiled away a good bit of my clutch fluid and lost the pedal, we tried to bleed it there at the track and couldn't get it back. I am going to wrap the new HFCs and install a new insulated clutch line and get it back.

Going back to the Ridge on Friday the 23rd with Hook On Driving, come on out and drive your car the way it was meant to be

I know this is aways off from you guys but this is the first owner of my Nismo out on the ORP in Grass Valley in Oregon. If you don't like Jazz you might want to turn down your volume.



You might notice that this is the track where the 2nd Bike vs drift car video started.
