Not everyone is a baller like you, Raul. I had a blast at zdayz a few years ago. Haven't made it back since unfortunately. Road course just isn't in my budget right now. But soon, hopefully.

Drag racing is cheaper to do, less maintenance, and less risk crashing your car. The bonus is that you get to learn how to extract every last ounce of (straight line) speed out of your car. I would hate to have a full bolt on Z and lose to a stock Z because of driver issues.

As for the drag strip I am going tonight but its like 95 degrees and humid... My expectations are low.. I almost dont want to use my MT radials because I feel like I am just gonna waste them lol.

Its my bday gift to myself , lol

Haha, that's how I felt last time I went. I didn't warm up the drag radials because I didn't want to waste them on NA power.

Drag racing is cheap (until you break something).

I definitely had a lot more fun driving around some twisty roads than I did at the drag strip. It is fun to hit triple digit speeds legally and worry free, it is a lot more exciting (to me at least) to do some spirited driving on some twisty roads.

I definitely want to do some driving on an actual road course, but my car won't be track ready for a while.

And didn't require an oil cooler. Also, for me at least, they are a lot further away. There are 2 road courses in my region, Summit Point Raceway which is a 3 hr drive and VIR which is a 6 hr drive. The dragstrip is only 15 mins away.

I would go to track days but i do not know how to drive on a race track.
Its not i me as i never drive fast except on the drag strip.
The Z admits not to being able to drive his 370 into corners and pass guys /
Its just not me.
I bought my car because i like it and it looks good and drives great.
