tmill240z Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Have a good one guys. (New here but starting to become active in searching for parts as the racing season approaches - I'll post an intro in the new members forum ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NgoZ Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Amused you could almost fit that bunny in the Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Portland, huh. What kind of racing are you into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looks like an autocrosser to me! I ran a couple events in Portland in the Pro Pits at PIR. Most of my autocross days were down in Eugene, where you regularly pulled 150 or so cars at each event. The local club pulled close to the same numbers at SCCA, not bad for a local group of "gear heads" in a city full of liberal "tree huggers". ;^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually an event in Eugene this weekend. May have to check that out! And then next weekend is PIR with SCCA. Lots of active clubs around here it seems.

Or do you find a few down there actually willing to thrash their ride a bit? Somehow I don't see that 280Z06 on a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Actually, everyone I know here is either a road racer (SCCA, vintage, HPDE, etc) and then there are the crazy standing mile & half-mile guys. I'll have some pics and vids from Sebring fairly soon. My new 17x8" wheels (for street) will be here in a few weeks and the 16's are getting DOT race tires. Putting in the 4 point roll bar and 4 point harnesses, as well. I've always autocrosses, hillclimb & tracked both my 510s and the Z will be no different. I did find the local autocross group in the region, but not sure how many of those I will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Good to hear Gary. Had to take a poke at you. Been waiting over 10 years to get some behind the wheel feedback on that beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I hear ya! Like my friend has always said "Life gets in the way" sometimes! Getting married 7.5 years ago, then moving from Oregon to Florida & leaving the Z in a friends garage for 4 of the last 5 years didn't make it easy to work on. Anyway, I've done more in the last 4 months than the last 6-7 years, so I can't complain too much and it's getting there. It's also good to have the wife constantly ask "So when are you going to get your car done?", so I don't feel as guilty spending time out in the garage here & there.
