Colorado, Pueblo HPDE Day, w/Instructor
David Muramoto, one of the contributing editors of SportZ/Nissan Sport magazine, aka dkmura, a respected driving instructor, and racer, will be giving a day of instruction at Pueblo Motorsports Park on 2 October in Pueblo, CO. This will include driving exercises in the morning (handling limits, obstacle avoidance) and on track exercises, as well as learning the proper line, and plenty of track time at Pueblo Motorsports Park, a 1.8 mile, 10 turn very fun roadcourse.
His first class earlier this year was how I got into roadracing and NASA (National Auto Sports Association), and why I now own race tires, a mini trailer, and race pads for my G, and why I have an awesome amount of fun at NASA HPDE (High Performance Driving Events) events.
If you are interested in tracking your G or Z, this is the place to learn the basics. Also as a note, After one full day of this with David, I was qualified for HPDE 3 class with NASA which means (almost) open passing at NASA events, ability to rent a transponder, and chance to qualify for HPDE 4 and time trials, which I will be doing at the next NASA event, down in Sandia, NM.
Anyways, the thread is located on my 350Z, here
The cost is $150, and includes a full day of driving, with no other cars on the track other than whats in the group, which currently is 6 students, plus David, and me and one other assistant.
Let me know if anyone has any questions; this is probably the most fun I have ever had in my G (barring that one 36DD blonde...) Road course racing is like riding a roller coaster in which you get to control the speed and the turns.
And for those wondering, a stock G (or a Z) is perfectly fine to take out on the track, with no modifications. I'd recommend fresh oil, and bleeding your brakes, and ensuring you still have enough tread on your tires and material on your brake pads, but you certainly don't need a highly mod'ed G to do this. Although that can make it even more fun!
