Weird things happen when you spin, and bicycle.

Looks like Nissan finally decided to support their autocross customers. Just got information today on the 2019 Nissan Racer Contingency Program and they're paying contingency for National Tours, ProSolos, ProSolo Finale, and Solo Nats. For Tours and Pros it's $300 for 1st, $200 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd as long as there are five starters in a class.

Time for me to stop sucking and earn some $$$.

The front splitter needs some serious improvement but, other than that, the new setup has made this a completely different animal to drive in a good way. Really starting to think, given the right driver, this thing really might have a chance in BSP.

I’ve only been to one but had a great time. SCCA event at Daytona Int’l speedway on their “go cart track”. So there were cones but they just outlined a short road course. I did a lap and then did a lap with the (free) instructor. Then let him drive a lap with me riding. Made a big improvement. For what it’s worrh he said definitely turn VDC off. I guess my biggest fail was braking too soon. I drive a really clean 40th anniversary and he definitely drove a bit harder than a non-sponsored guy like me drives. Really fun day and SCCA runs a good event.

I considered it but in the end just couldn't justify it. When you have a national level site in your region (Toledo airport) for locals, it kind of diminishes the desire to drive 12 hrs to run on concrete.

Also be warned that if you need stickers, Nissan will send them out but without paying the postage. Just got a note in my mailbox today that I have to go to the post office to pay the $2.21 in postage to collect my stickers.
