NASA held their first event in the NW this last weekend at Pacific Raceway. Anybody thinking about taking your car to the track should look them up. They are well organized and if you have never been to the track they have instructors for everyone in the HPDE 1 class.

Here's a few laps around the track

 

Nice, NASA is awesome.

Haha, what happened to the poor frs/brz between lap 3-4. hope you guys didn't have any incidents

 

He just bought the BRZ and now needs a good body shop. Rear quarter and door need some work. Don't know how fast he was going but thats around a 60mph corner that he went off on and hit the tire wall

 

Did they talk about it in the driver's meeting after? My guess is that he oversped into the middle right, tried to scrub speed mid corner and ended up over-rotated, hit the brakes and completed his spin.

 

NASA had their 3rd NW event this last weekend at PIR in Portland. Need to see some other G's out there.

 

I think i've only seen one other g at the track before.

I think everyone on this forum is too busy playing dress-up-barbie with the cars to actually drive them.

 

I'll agree with that, spend money on aftermarket performance parts to sit in parking lot

 

I bought my g35 sedan just so I can take it here. I need some work to do until its track ready though. Wish it were stick

I took the high performance driving clinic in march just before they repaved the track. It was awesome, got to play in the rain for most of the morning and in the afternoon the track dried out a bit and got to experience both types of conditions. Great instructors at Proformance Racing School.

 

Bring your car out to the next NASA event at Pacific Raceway, it comes from the factory ready for the track. Sure you can always make it better but the best thing you can do is get more experience on the track. Sign up for HPDE 1 and you get an instructor for the day.

Here's the link, I will be out there the 14th

Thanks. Need brakes big time atm. Hope the budget will allow.

 

Here's a lap from my last trip to Pacific Raceway. My season for track days is over, have a couple of Auto-X events left in October. Hope to see some of you out there next year.

 

Mark your calendars
