Ha does it cost to watch?

[BoostMe]

Sucks I wont have my car ready for the track until summertime. I would love to do this. Hopefully there will be plenty more events though.

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

Can we run stock cars? lol

Edit: Is this a drift event?

[MCarp22]

Can we run stock cars? lol

It's been done:

Cars that are stock too

<photo of my crappy old sentra here>


Edit: Is this a drift event?

No, it's open lapping / trackday like the mustang club etc.

[iwanagofast]

damn.. if I get the car tuned by then I am going to be there.

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

I'd have fun in my Factory Audi... But I'd prolly be embarrassed. :lol:

[Slikk]

i will be running the tC

[sweetdee]

Sounds like fun I really wish I could go but I will be sitting this one out. Way too much money just after the Holidays.

[dakar318]

lol long johns

ive autoxed at chatt. state in december wearing shorts and like 65 degrees! then few months later it was snowing at the next one!

[coolhandluke]

Ha does it cost to watch?

In the past at NSS it has been free to spectate.


Can we run stock cars? lol

Edit: Is this a drift event?

Tracking a car in factory/stock form is the best starting point IMO. As a beginner/novice tracking a modified car increasing the learning curve. This is not a drift event, it is an HPDE.


Anyone else from this forum participating as a driver?

[Slikk]

new brakes are scheduled to arrive next Tuesday ...


I am really looking forward to this event

[coolhandluke]

I'm looking forward to it as well. I ran NSS last October but this time I will be running a new car. I am anxious to experience the differences.

[JDMbrad]

Sweet I will hopefully be going, but just to watch. :p

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

I'll be there Shooting everyone! From 300m away. :P

And I'd love to enter my Audi. But really, If I messed something up the cost to fix it would be stupid.... lol

I was hoping to pick up an old E30 like a 325IS and enter it but I'll just be there for photography.

[coolhandluke]

Messed something up??? I'v done seven track days in three cars without an incident. Proper maintenance/prep prior to the event goes a long way.

Regardless, I look forward to your shots.

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

Yea I understand but it's the "If" factor considering I just got the car and 1st payment isn't due untill Feb 4th. lol
Now if I can a cheap car I'd be all over this. I really plan on picking something up.
We'll just have to see

[coolhandluke]

No worries, just nudging. Different insurance policies vary for this sort of thing. Mine consider it driver's education (which it is) until the event is timed. From there I'm on my own. The general rule of thumb is always, "If you can't afford to wad it up, don't track it." Which is some insight into why Honda's tend to lap Porsche's on track.

[satalac]

Wish I was set up for this (tires, suspension and brakes Lol). Sounds like a blast. I may come to watch.

[venom_5]

hmm ... tempting ... gotta see what my school schedule will be like, since we start next week

and jose, my stock 240 was out at the MCMC track day and it was just fine - its not a race, so horsepower doesnt matter

[coolhandluke]

As I stated earlier, bone stock cars are the best way to start. Most of our cars' limits are well beyond our driving limits even in stock trim. I'm looking forward to several people coming out and simply attending/enjoying the event. My hope is the weather will be decent. Anyone want to bring a grille? ha!

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

Will there be another event? Like in Feb, or march etc.... I WILL race in the next one....

I'll pick up another car so I am worry free.

[coolhandluke]

Just to clear any confusion it the future, this is a driver education event (HPDE) and not racing etc.

:steps off soap box:

Sadly NSS doesn't see alot events throughout the year. A mustang group generally hosts an event in April and September. This is a TracksUnlimited event so hopefully they will do another event later in the year as well.

[MCarp22]

There's usually a phil wicks event in the fall as well.

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

Sorry, I understand it's the Drivers education type but I said racing
since it's on a track. lol My bad.

[coolhandluke]

No worries man, and I apologize if I come off as "anal" etc.

[Slikk]

looking like some real nice weather this weekend.. cant wait

[MCarp22]

Hopefully I'm not completely out of brake pads. o_O

[coolhandluke]

Do you not have a set you keep on reserve?

[MCarp22]

I haven't had the budget to stash spare parts for a while now. Checked last night and the pads are of sufficent depth, fluid level was a bit low in the reservoir.

[coolhandluke]

I'm not familiar with your car or driving habits, but I like to keep a pads with me at the track just in case. This will be my third event on my pads and they have about 3,000 of street miles on them as well. I still have plenty of pad left, but I drive a Honda. They are easy on pads.

[ImthinkingRB's]

so what are all you guys going out there in car wise? Dont know many of you on these boards yet cant put a screen name with a car yet haha. post up the vehicle your driving or a link to a thread id like to see what others are bringing im going to be out there in my bugeye. first track day in it :hsdance:

[ImthinkingRB's]

Just payed then went to check the weather yesterday they were saying sunny/partly cloudy for sunday, today it says 60% chance of rain wtf anyone else think we need an updated weather system or something lol.

[5series_4_Me]

hey what time is this thing gonna start and end?

[BoostMe]

Me and my daughter will probably come watch for a bit. She loves cars!

[MCarp22]

I like to keep a pads with me at the track just in case.

Yeah, I normally like to keep some spares. I've been really happy with the Miata as far as consumables go, it's very easy on everything. Probably because it's so slow!

I made a set of autozone pads last for 2 days and about 3 hours on track back when i had the Sentra. :)

hey what time is this thing gonna start and end?

If everything goes according to schedule, gates open at 7:30, and the track will be hot from 8:30 to 4:30.

so what are all you guys going out there in car wise?

I've got a blue miata:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/neonmike22/Meotter2/P9191370z.jpg

[ImthinkingRB's]

That thing is clean man. Makes me want a miata, they seem like loads of fun and little up keep for how hard you can run them. as upposed to a turbo car of any kind.

[alex37211]

Just to be clear on this....it's a HPDE (high performance driving event).

So there won't be any sort of competition?
Is this gonna be people driving around cones on a race track?

When I first saw "track day", I figured it would be racing or at the very least, a timed autocross.

Can some one clarify this? I want a mental image of what this event is gonna entail.
Is it......drivers going around the track in groups but keeping there distance?
Is it drivers going through a plotted out course with cones one at a time?

Anybody have a youtube link of a similar event?

Don't mean to be a bother, I just want to know if it would be worth it to me to take off work and come watch.

[venom_5]

most track days are considered HPDEs .... its not a track made of cones like an AutoX, it uses the road course design at the Nashville Superspeedway [entering and exiting via the pit road, but following the red line]:
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4632/mediafk.jpg
most organizations do 3-4 groups of 8-10 drivers, each group gets a few minutes at a time to do several laps around the track, then the next group goes on ... so on and so forth until each group has had a few chances throughout the day ... its pretty fun to watch, but NSS doesnt have the best areas to watch from - the bleachers facing the front section show a good view of the highest speed passes, but as far as watching the cars actually handle youll have to stand at the fence somewhere

in other news, i cant go cuz of work, but apparently one of my professors is bringing his BMW 2002 out there ... wish i could go just to see that ... hes a cool guy, and its a pretty nice car

This is exactly what you can expect on a HPDE track day at NSS. This is last year, POV from my car. There aren't any other cars around, because I left early and got in line first, but normally you will have cars in front of and behind you, and you are allowed to point-pass only in the Intermediate and Advanced groups. You will have one warmup lap, then the flag will drop and it's go time.

[5series_4_Me]

Are there ride alongs?
moody you gonna be there tomorrow? and check your f/s thread...

[satalac]

I'm thinking about stopping sometime by to watch. If I do, I may have a box of Krispy Kremes with me.....

[MCarp22]

They are allowing ride-alongs, so long as the passenger has a helmet.

[5series_4_Me]

DO IT!!! I am for sure going along with some other folks from cville...If you want we could all go out for some doughnuts afterwards...:attn:

[sweetdee]

I may come watch. But my helmet will be in the car just in case anyone wants to give this lil girl a ride.

Good thinking!
Helmet is ready...

[01integra]

(If you don't like pizza and soft drinks we would be glad to point you in the direction of Murfreesboro. :grin:)

why wouldnt you just point them to lebanon considering its closer

[satalac]

DO IT!!! I am for sure going along with some other folks from cville...If you want we could all go out for some doughnuts afterwards...:attn:
If I can finish my honey-do list (which is strangely car related), I'll probably head out that way around 1ish.

It's actually right in the middle of the two.

[coolhandluke]

The weather is looking to be cloudy, but still mid 50's. Lets hope the skies stay clear.

[BoostMe]

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

I didn't go. didn't have the funds for a Canon 5D so I went and bough a glock and
got my permit instead. lol sorry guys

[5series_4_Me]

satalac- sorry man, my douchebag friends were like "hey we're douchebags and we want to leave to get food NOW!!!!!" so we left a bit early...around 1...and we did end up going to dunkin doughnuts afterwards...lol next time man..

[5series_4_Me]

btw some of these dbag friends got some good pics and footage of the races...and a few of the wipeouts...hahaha :headbang:

but more importantly, it was AMAZING. The whole experience was just great. I was so excited to go and could not have been more content...I hope we can do this sometime soon and hopefully more ppl from tennspeed will run. I know I will :naughty:. We should have a tennspeed tent next time, if enough ppl go haha


And o yea. Wynn, that was me yelling at you from the bleachers :wink: hahaha

[sweetdee]

Got there a lil late today but had an absolute blast! Big thanks to Wynn for letting me ride alone a few times. I really had a lot of fun.

[MCarp22]

Glad y'all had a good time, it was a lot of work keeping things running smoothly. :)

[Slikk]

Good Work Mike :biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

[ImthinkingRB's]

Yea today was awesome all you guys did a great job running it smoothly. Best track day ever!!!

[Jose-Aka-Pedro]

I demand pictures! Right Meow!

[5series_4_Me]

I demand pictures! Right Meow!

lol ill try and post up some vids later on tonight haha

[85rx-7gsl-se]

Do I see a truck on the track :shock:

[5series_4_Me]

Do I see a truck on the track :shock:

sure do...that thing was LOUD! and it handles pretty well for being a 60's-70's model truck...

[sigurd]

Do I see a truck on the track :shock:

a truck with a pretty neat suspension setup that was up that vipers ass the whole time. Nothing like seeing a truck like that get it out there with a bucket seat and a 17in steering wheel lol.

Wynn looked really good out there. Bob was tearing it up in the topgear sentra aswell.

[satalac]

Do I see a truck on the track :shock:
That truck was running pretty damn fast. I did a double take when I saw it. Definitely some impressive rides there. There was an RX-7 there that was an absolute beast.

[satalac]

satalac- sorry man, my douchebag friends were like "hey we're douchebags and we want to leave to get food NOW!!!!!" so we left a bit early...around 1...and we did end up going to dunkin doughnuts afterwards...lol next time man..
Haha, no problem man. I had eaten too much for lunch, so donuts might not have been a good idea at the moment. :lol:

[Dalwinco]

Just a few. I have about 600 more. LOL.

He was hauling ass, sounded mean as shit too. What came off on his car though? He was dragging something and had to stop at one point.

[goldeneagle_10]

I know none of you guys probably know me on here, but if TracksUnlimited has another one at Nashville from April on, I'll bring out the car you see in my sig that I should have by early April. I need all the seat time I can get in it.

Welcome to the site then buddy.

I went out yesterday and watched, it was a nice inspiration that suspension always should come first..

[MCarp22]

Just a few. I have about 600 more. LOL.

Thanks for the photos! Did you get any of my blue miata?

[goldeneagle_10]

Thanks man. I've ran some autox events with the Nashville guys before and I've done a couple of the open track events that the local mustang club puts on. Lots of fun over there... looking forward to getting back there soon and meet some of you guys.

[5series_4_Me]

Thanks for the photos! Did you get any of my blue miata?

I know we saw a blue miata out there with a hard top that was WHOOPING THAT ASS but it didnt look like the same shade of blue as your pics...not sure if that was you...

[MCarp22]

It was actually dark green, he was driving the wheels off that thing. I couldnt keep my eyes off it when I was working turn 7.

[MCarp22]

Ken's car is newer and has all the good stuff that mine is lacking. He usually beats me at the autocross. :)

Dang, I don't remember seeing it. What time did you show up? or better yet which cars were with you in the races?

It was actually dark green, he was driving the wheels off that thing. I couldnt keep my eyes off it when I was working turn 7.

I know, right?! O so if you were a driver you also had cone duty? Like autocross?

[MCarp22]

Dang, I don't remember seeing it. What time did you show up? or better yet which cars were with you in the races?

I showed up at about 7:30 :) I was the guy working at the grid, and running during the "blue" run group. From what I remember seeing on track with me, there were two black Z06 corvettes, both Scion Tcs, the one multi-colored SN95 mustang, the white '99ish mustang, and a couple integras.

I know, right?! O so if you were a driver you also had cone duty? Like autocross?

Folks that volunteered to work got a couple sessions of track time as payment. Paying drivers don't have to do any work.

[rhythmnsmoke]

Glad y'all had a good time, it was a lot of work keeping things running smoothly. :)


You did an excellent job though Mike. And much thanks for the volunteer spot, had a blast and can't wait for future events.

[WynnS123]

And o yea. Wynn, that was me yelling at you from the bleachers :wink: hahaha

Sorry, I couldn't tell who you were from where I was standing. I heard you yelling though :thumbup:

Got there a lil late today but had an absolute blast! Big thanks to Wynn for letting me ride along a few times. I really had a lot of fun.

Glad you came out, Dee. Next time you need to get that Miata out there!

Glad y'all had a good time, it was a lot of work keeping things running smoothly. :)

Awesome job on organizing everything, Mike. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work the event.

Hey what up man.. yeah Michael's Sti is fast and sick. I got me a white Sti my self hahaha Had to give up my 350Z... I def love the STi. Got to meet at B & C

You need to bring that STi out. What are your plans for it?

MICHAEL POOLE'S STi this car was just the fastest out there he was just killing everyone out there. Fast Sti and a Good driver.... Best time 1.11.9 and def has more to come.

I absolutely fell in love with this car over the weekend. Absolutely gorgeous. Good driver, he had great lines, and he was fast.


Wynn, I do plan to get the Miata out (even though I will be pointing everyone by) eventually. I just want a couple things fixed (ties rods, ball joints for example) before I get out there. If I had on Saturday, I wouldve snapped a couple things lol. Maybe next time I will get out there ;)

[LexusGSXR]

i wish i coulda went... i had to work ... work sucks on weekends...

[coolhandluke]

I thought the event ran very smoothly. I think the staff learned some lessons concerning the lunch First Chance Tire/ Donwrightdesigns.com purchased. (I hope all the drivers got some form of lunch).

I had a tough day with transmission issues but had a time out there in the new car. I look forward to more events with this group.

Any pictures of the white jdm front integra?

Hi everyone,
Great pictures! I was driving the silver RX-7 and was the novice classroom instructor. My dad was also driving my car in the novice group. Look forward to seeing you guys at the track in the future.

[Dalwinco]

That Rx-7 was so nice. That wa probably the car I took most pictures of.

[Brent]

I'd love to see some of them if you don't mind. All the pictures I've seen so far have been of my dad. I normally am pretty good about getting video(as it's a very good tool for me to improve) but I stayed busy all day long. Looking back on it, wish I would have.

I'm also in Clarksville btw.

Brent, good to see that you made it onto our site, loved seeing your car out on the track!

PS- I would suggest making an intro thread

You need to have the windows down so that you can hand signal to other drivers when it is safe to pass.

Let me rephrase.

What would it cost to have my car repainted at a reputable shop?

Let me rephrase.

Off the cuff guess, I'd say minimum $3K and up from there depending on what color you start with and do you want the jams/underhood to match.

Ha, that was me in the S2000 at the very beginning of your video.

The stripped Sentra is a "Lemons" car. It was bought and "modded" for $500 or less. He was fast for sure. The car is basically a stock sentra stripped down and cut oem springs.

[sweetdee]

The Lemons car owner knows that track very well though too.

I was running 1:07's and 1:08's in my RX-7.

[ImthinkingRB's]

Phew that seems uber quick. I never got a chance to see you run I was behind you and your dad a couple times though thats awesome he's out there with you.

[WynnS123]

I was running 1:07's and 1:08's in my RX-7.

What kind of timing equipment are your running? Weight and whp of your car? I was out on track a couple of times when you were out there. Not calling bs because your dad may have been driving, but those are some super quick times. To put it in perspective, Shariff's GTR was running 1:08's during the Red Line time attack along with many other high hp purpose built race cars.

[Fastech]

You are kind of comparing apples to oranges. I hesitated to post those times as I previously already said that I didn't run video this weekend. There was a guy timing me with a stop watch. However, I'll be back at Nashville March 27-28, you are more than welcome to come out and time me or, if I don't have a student for a session, ride along with me. If not, I'll def. have video for you :D

My time is really not that fast of a time. Mark Daddio ran a 0:59 something in practice and there were several guys running low 1 min times. Sharif actually ran a 1:07.5(finishing 3 of 6), I was there too. :) Not taking anything away from Sharif as he is a good driver and ran much faster than me at the event, but he didn't do that well at Nashville IMO. That being said, Sharif ran a 2:00 on the full course at VIR in October when we were there for the NASA event... which is retarded fast. Of course, Philip Gabrow ran a 1:59 to edge him out. He was running modified class at Nashville so he was limited to a mid grade tire. I also think it was his first time to drive Nashville. Brian(Fastech, the guy who posted above me) ran a 1:10 in his 350z in STOCK RWD... that's on street tires with very basic mods. I have a feeling that Brian was running faster times this past weekend than he did in July, especially with the cooler air... once again... on street tires. Brian is a much much better driver than me.

That being said, I hit the track hard this summer and put 4300 track miles(40+ events) on my car since I took a 15 month break(08-09) and ran probably 30 more track days in between redline time attack and last saturday which helped to shake the rust off as well as progress my driving significantly. I was also on hoosier slicks.

Out of curiosity, what car were you driving and what group?

[85rx-7gsl-se]

So you were the uber fast FD out there haha. good to have you back Brent.

[satalac]

The SR20DE is no joke with a couple bolt-ons. It probably weighs 2200lbs and 140whp, that's the same power to weight ratio as a supercharged miata.

[Fastech]

Brent, your speed increase between RTA and last Saturday was quite noticable! Rust suitably shaken.... I can certainly believe 1:07's! Good work.

[low0r]

Soooo Wynn, is there a super novice class I could run with so Im not holding people up? Not in it for competition or anything, just looks like a shit ton of fun.

[BURN UNIT]

After seeing this thread, I really wished that I'd registered for this event. Oh well - wouldn't have mattered anyways, because I was sick (and car was on stands), but I cannot wait for the next event... I can already feel the edginess coming back from not running in the fall.

I hope to see many of you out there in 2010.

[WynnS123]

Out of curiosity, what car were you driving and what group?

I was corner working all morning and driving after lunch. My car was the silverstone S2000 with black wheels. I ran in a bunch of different groups since I was a worker. I ran with you on 2 separate sessions. The first time your dad must have been driving because I passed you guys fairly quickly. The second time you were ahead of me and I got caught up in traffic. Once I got through I was able to slowly gain, but never passed because the session was over. Your dad may have been driving on both occasions because if you are running 1:07's I would have never seen you except when you were lapping me :lol: I also ran with you at Red Line Time Attack on Saturday. I didn't compete on Sunday though. My fastest recorded time at NSS is a 1:13.05 (all motor s2k, 198whp, ~3k lbs. with me in it, street tires - Dunlop Direzza Star Specs). What was your time at RTA?

Brent, your speed increase between RTA and last Saturday was quite noticable! Rust suitably shaken.... I can certainly believe 1:07's! Good work.

I agree. You were definitely quicker at this event than RTA.

Soooo Wynn, is there a super novice class I could run with so Im not holding people up? Not in it for competition or anything, just looks like a shit ton of fun.

These events are purely for fun and practice. Just get out to one and you'll see. There are always several novices that has never been on track before. You will learn more about car control in one day than probably your whole life in driving on the street. It's the best "mod" you can buy imo.

Wish you could have made it out, Moody. I think Autosports Events is hosting one in March. I don't know if I'll make that one unless they need corner workers because I'm running Road Atlanta with NASA on the 13th-14th that month. Want to go to RA?

I was ran a 1:13(they have me down as a 1:14 on the website I think). I had an incident at barber about a month before where I had hit the wall(in a different RX-7) and I don't think I had fully gotten my legs back underneath by then. My car with me in it weighs in at 2800lbs, roughly 300rwhp. I run TTS with NASA, so my power to weight has to be 8.7:1 I was on Z1 Starspecs as well that prob. had around 10 or so track days on them. Best street tire I've ran!

Any time man. I'm not all that fast though. Still learning a lot. I've only been tracking a car for the past 8 months.

That day at RTA my best was a 1:14 also. It was my 3rd time on the track.
2800lbs, 300whp sounds like a lot of fun! I think the Star Specs are the best bang for the buck street tire. I'd like to get a set of RE-11's but they cost too much. I don't think I'm ready to jump to r-comps just yet. I'd like to clean up my driving first. Also, everything gets really expensive with race tires since it puts so much stress on all the car's components. I plan on doing a few NASA events this year to get my feet wet, and it will be nice to watch the races. I like how NASA has their HPDE's set up between the races.

[BURN UNIT]

I am going to run Advanced.

I would love to do RA... I don't know if I can get the time to haul my car down there, run, and drive back to TN right now, though. I'm having to even budget time to even go out to the garage and start the car just to let it run, lol. I'll know more in the next month, as far as having money to haul out of state, run, etc...

nashville has been one of the safest tracks ive raced at! there is TOOOONS of run off room.
i really love nashville cause you can just push push push

i never really pushed it at barber... well i coldn't really since my road race was in the rain. but i saw that a ferarri challenge car found its way to a wall, and also a GTA car.

The Sti is mine, coil overs going on this week with a host of other mods so camber up front will be increased (stock now). I will be running the VIR GTR event with Sharif on Feb 22nd so the car is being prepped for that. Rear sways, harness, suede sparco wheel, 255 fuel pump, rear diff cover, breaded break lines with Hawk pads and splitter. That was a fun event on the 23rd, looking forward to the next!! It was nice to pass Wynn, not easy to do!!

Beat my time during RTA by 2.3sec during the Tracks Unlimited event, running a 1:18.074 (RTA time was 1:20.352).
