As far as I know, the only school at Thunderhill is SCCA's racing drivers school in March (unless you're interested in Motorcycles).

Y'all heard about this? The bastard love child of an unfortunate drunken encounter between NASCAR and WWF. First race has a format with a police car in pursuit. Supposed to look like a video game...

Hi, Terry!

I started racing a 240 this year, and if you look at some of the old threads in the Nissan Racecars forum, you'll see some of the advice I got, including suspension setup on the Z.

Darryl,

Ron didn't do so well - he didn't race. He crewed for me, and I didn't do so well, either. I qualified better-than-last, for the first time, and my car ran fine, but I finished last and...

Knestis, what you're trying to do is admirable. Driving to work or the grocery store isn't supposed to be an extreme sport. A few national media outlets carried the story of Bruce Murakami, whose...

Okay, seriously... On the receiving end of pick-up lines, yeah, racing works if it's a way to start a conversation. Unfortunately, a lot of guys use things like racing, fancy cars, planes - whatever...

Do you guys drive around with the lettering/numbering in place?

When I have to drive my car on the street (translation: am going somewhere so close that trailering it is ridiculous), I stare...

Aw, you guys have it easy. I live in a small town where everyone's seen me drunk. Everybody knows I'm into racing (usual conversation with my friends "Oh, my God, I recognize you! You're that...

In my region, there's no discount. Workers are paid in sandwiches and driver waves. Drivers work to ensure that the races happen, to give back to the club that finds free workers so we don't have...

Another thing... I'd love to have you crew for me, but the airfare would get pricey. :-)

See if there's a new driver or new member program, and sign up. Go to the track next race. Walk around...

The guy who built my car messed up. I think he sent the engine out for rebuild and had the roll cage welded in for him, because they're the only things that seem alright. But the engine blew up the...

Tires and parts - it's like a race weekend, but with a lot more track time. I'd bring your best, cheapest racing tires (why burn the expensive ones when there's no trophy?), and all the parts you'd...

I'm in my first year racing, and I've gotten a lot of great help and advice here on the board, and out on the track. All the answers that have been posted so far are right on. Change your...

Darryl,

Dude, that stinks. I feel for ya (I put up a lot of bravado to the guy who called me the "hard luck kid" at Sears, but slunk out of his sight after I came in on the tow). Good luck with...

I do worker transport (my primary crew), plus Equipment, and dabble in the newly created Ambassador corps. When NASCAR was in town this year, I wandered back and forth between worker trans and...

I have heard that Ron is otherwise occupied this weekend. Hope you have a terrific time!!

It's days like this that I want to throw in the towel - I don't know what broke, don't know how to diagnose and fix it. And, dammit, I was having FUN that last race, before the car broke. I adjusted...

Welcome, M1chael!

Some answers for you... Yes, you can have a street-legal racecar. My 240z is registered and legal in California. I have separate street tires and race tires. I initially tried...

Thanks for info, inspiration, and translation, guys. You guys really know your cars!

My niece ran street school in my car Friday and it ran fine THE WHOLE DAY. I'm so excited! Bodes well for...

Well, in 2 races, I haven't flat-spotted but I've got Hoosiers, so I figure I'll worry about spending more on tires when the Hoosiers are dead (probably one more race weekend). The Hoosiers saw 1...

Thank you all for the great info.

Yep, I'm the orange Z. I'm easy to find at the track - rarely miss a race at LS or Sears, either driving or working. SF Region is definitely top notch - although...

Thanks for the welcome, info, and advice!

I bought my car thinking it was done enough, and I could concentrate on learning to drive this season. Ha-ha!

I guess my biggest challenge right now...

I am completely new to racing, and mostly lost. I'd be very grateful for any assistance and/or advice.

I'm getting my car sorted out, and it's mostly terrific now. I'm running a 1973 240z in ITS...
