Calling all Zs ready for the Track…. 3/12/10

Filed under: Events

This blog entry comes from Bill N.  Z33 Driver…Enjoy

I am registered for Hooked On Driving’s Friday 3/12 track day at Thunderhill Raceway Park and would love to have other Datsuns and Nissans there. Been wanting to give it a try? Then sign up! Not quite ready to do a track day? Come on up and check it out! Visitors are always welcome. If you come, please find my car in the paddock and say hello.

Thunderhill is a blast to drive and is also one of the safer tracks around, with lots of wide open spaces if you happen to exit the asphalt (which rarely happens with HOD’s excellent coaches on board).

Below is a photo from my last Thunderhill event back in September. The 1972 240Z next to my Z33 was used to help develop the ZCG 240Z brake upgrade. David Ray, Hooked on Driving founder and former 240Z and 350Z racer, helped with the testing. Click here for the article. ZCG and the owner did an awesome restoration job. This car is gorgeous.

Here is a video clip from the event. At the time, the car was still on stock brakes and street tires. Lots of tire noise and early braking!
