Thanks for the compliments, guys. I had a great time and the pictures did come out great!


I tracked this event through a company called Speed Ventures and it cost ~$350 for the day including the transponder.

What about tires and brake-pads? I know these events can be really costly for a G35.

Nice pics, good looking car too.

My tires and brake pads were 100% stock. The car is basically all stock (intake, exhaust, springs and sways on stock tires) but I think I pulled some pretty good laptimes! 1:53.69 was my fastest on the day.

Here are a few more pics of the cars that I was racing with:

I don't think I made my point clear. In other words, by the end of the day, your stock tires & pads will have alot of wear of them. Almost to the point of needing replacements.

How were they after the track day? And wow, those are some hot cars you raced with!

Good to see a stock G ripping it up

My brakes were hurting a little bit before I got to the track and let's just say that they didn't get any better! haha I just rolled over 17,000 miles though on my 06' and Infiniti should cover the warped rotors under warranty so I'll be alright there.
