Cool - can't wait to see them!

We should think about doing everyones tire temps throught the day. That way everyone can learn how to set up their cars to go faster!

I will bring my Toe plates, camber guage, pyrometer, tire pressure guage, and some data sheets so we can test and tune!

Here's a link to the NASA HPDE Technical Inspection Form. We can use something like this. It's pretty simple and covers the basics.

V710's mounted
HP+ pads to be installed this weekend and brakes bled.

The car is getting ready. The driver is always ready!

98intrigue - if you have a good idea how to get my extra tires to the track - you can run them. We can work out the details if you want them?

Oil changed
Air filter clean
Tires ready
Trailer ready
Race Fuel ready
All stuff removed from car - ready
4 point seat belt mounted
Water/Methanol ready
Bleed brakes this weekend
Inspect suspension this weekend
Clean MAF this weekend

As you can tell - I have a track event before this one.

I'd love to use your tires, but I have no idea how to get them to the track. You said you're coming from Georgia, right?

Never ran a drag race, I enjoy g's more, and a road tracks give you more in corners and braking than acceleration ever can!

My car has 440 hp & 410 lbs-ft @ 9.2 psi. The most impressive thing about the APS TT is the torque - 380 @ 2500 rpm and 410 @ 5252 rpm, I shift at 5,500 to 6000 rpms since my torque starts dropping off then.

No button on mine, I don't need to refill it, and it is not a bomb!

500 is out of the world - don't know if I could handle that - hell 400 is hard to handle

just bumping this list up to keep handy

Here is the list of levels each will be running in per your request
Please post up or PM me what level you would like to be in

This list is just a baseline we will modify your level after the first session if necessary.

Level 1= Novice non aggressive 5-6/10
Never driven at speed on a track with other cars,do not want to push their cars hard, concerned with tire chunking, brakes fading, etc. in this case we will have a experienced driver quickly run through a few important things you'll want to know before your out there.

1.Stuart(UFGatorG35) G35 2.Dan(SFLG35) G35 3.CJ(cj350) 350z 4.Jon (jadaway2) G35 5.Mark(mdemonte) Maxima 6.Mike(keib) g35 7.Ryan(98 Intrigue) G35 8.Siu(st350z) 350z


Level 2= Novice slightly aggressive 6-7/10
Have driven on a track at speed before with other cars,have some basic knowledge of how to properly enter and exit a corner,still not wanting to push hard due to being on street tires, stock brakes/fluid, etc.

1.Jesse(Gatekeeper) SRT4 2.Brian BMW M coupe


Level 3= Intermediate aggressive 7-8/10
Have driven on a track at speed before with other cars often,do autocross events,car has been setup for track days, HP brakes/high temp fluid,etc.still using street tires but do not care about chunking them,looking to push their personal limits.


Level 4= Intermediate aggressive 7-8/10
This is basiclly the same as Level 3 but are using a DOT dedicated track tire.examples Kumho v700,Toyo RA-1,Falken RT615,driver has a good amount of experience and wants to push the car hard through the turns.

1.Michael Moody(MoodDude) 350Z 2.Eric(beddow) 350Z 3.Jeremy Tibbs (audible mayhem) 350z 4.Levent(TrackHoRX8) RX8


Level 5= Advanced aggressive 8-10/10
Lots of on track experience at speed with other cars/ lots of autocross experience,using dedicated track tires,car has been properly setup for driving at or near the limit.

You can put me on 4 or 5. There are faster cars than mine here. I just put the Hawk pads on and the V710's to try things out before Roebling this weekend. DAMN. I like this setup!
