So, I dropped Comprehensive and Collision coverage today

Mike · 03-07-2011, 08:33 PM

I've got no coverage at the track anyways, and since I got the CR-Z, I've decided to pretty much track only the car now. Its paid off, been wrecked at VIR requiring a new core support, bumper, fender and door, and then I hit a deer requiring fixing the bumper and fender, so I really couldn't ethically sell it to someone.

Going to the Z1 meet on the 19th and Zdayz, and then I think I am going to gut it. Its a huge step, but I think I'm ready to take it.

Nice to hear, how far you planning to go with this car?

Jeffblue · 03-07-2011, 08:41 PM

so do you just trailer it to the track?

at the moment, sometimes. it depends how far and how lazy I feel. Road Atlanta this weekend I didn't, because it was rainy and I was on street tires, plus its only 30 miles from my house. Normally I do though. Might even sell my open trailer and get an enclosed one so I can store the car in it.

just for driving schools and lapping days, but setup similar to Travis, stripped with a cage if I do have the guts to go through with it.

FuszNissan · 03-07-2011, 09:15 PM

Nice, custom cage?

If I go ahead with gutting, then yes. Unfortunately, this will probably be the last year I have a Nissan Z at Zdayz. At least I have a Honda Z and a BMW Z that I can still bring!

You crazy bastid! I'd rather drive a Z on the streets, but at least the track is a respectable place for the Z.

Easy search of threads started by him.

Me = 0 / vir tire wall = 1

Nice Mike! If you get it done in time, make sure to trailer it up to Road America in October.

Yikes, it makes me want to retire from track days sometimes. I had a spin in my 350 due to a brake line coming off, I came 10 feet from hitting the wall. I was never the same after that incident. Heck, that was one of the big reason I sold the car as I lost full confidence in it.

yeah, it wasn't fun. thats one of the reasons I want to cage it and get a hans device.

JB, I'd love to get up there again, but damn, thats a lot of gas to trailer it 1800 miles round trip.
