This might sound silly but ... can I borrow someone's rear S14 anti-roll bar for the November 2-3 weekend? I've signed up for the car control (drift) run group at the upcoming SpeedTrialUSA event and not having a rear sway bar for it kinda bites. (Base model S14 has a front sway bar but no rear one, which means heavy understeer. I'll need to oversteer.) If someone in the Bay Area can lend me one (stock or aftermarket, doesn't matter), I'd really appreciate it.

Edit: Nevermind. =) Found one. Thanks Bob.

If I remember when I was last at Thunderhill, I was one of the only guys to 'rent' a helmet when I was there. (Came in handy that day too... heh)

Anyway, I think the cost was like $20 and they wanted a deposit (license/keys/credit card), but I know for sure it was $20. After that, I bought my helmet cuz I know it'll be worth it and good for another 7 yrs.

As for the course, it is a real racetrack... I think it was in one of the Cadilla comercials... dunno which car was featured... maybe the CTS? Anyway, that's the course. But its easy to use Yahoo/Google and put in a search for "Thunderhill Raceway", right?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sarcasm:'>

If you're in Sacramento, you're close to it. I'm not sure if I'm going to go... but like everyone says, X-mas means buying gifts and I still want new rims/tires before I subject my car to the track. Please keep us updated!!

Agent_s13, are you interested in the Track day on Dec 28th?

ANyways, the Track day will be at Infineon raceway (Sears Point) http://www.infineonraceway.com/

Let me know if you wanna go so i can add you to the list

came in handy, indeed.  i remember that day hehe.

yeah my friend who was with me rented a helmet too, 20 bucks, so thats not too bad.

Infineon (Sears Point) is a REAL course by all means.  it is one of two road courses used by the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, and it is a big time sort of place, hence the $170 price tag which is a bit above average for most track days.  should be worth it though.

esper · 10-25-2002, 03:45 PM

so let me get this straight, we are going to sears point/infineon raceway on the 28th??  What time? and it is $170 + either helmet rental ($20) or ($? purchase price if someone could tell me please what kinds to get and from where)  That would be great!!

by the way, i am a new member from bay area cali 510  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> and would just like to say wassap!! and if there are some crews who would be down to kick it lemme know ! 240 or not!!

p.s.  I was wondering, anyone from around Union City/hayward/fremont who goes driving on the downhill mountain passes around here like me??    <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'>  
MuHahAHaHA  Also i would love reccomondations of good mechanics, body shops, etc.  thanks and much LOVE to everyone on this board PEACE

Hey Dennis. Welcome to the board. How old are you? Just wondering cuz you sound young. :P I'm from 510 also so maybe we'll meet up sometime. I'm thinking of having a very small 240SX meet next month where we actually go for a drive (approx 30 miles). Kind of an unofficial meet. Anyway I'll post more about that later.

Well, we will need to have our cars tech inspected before the track day, I will get some details on this in a few days. And as far as "who will race who" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'> Thats not really how open track days work at SpeedTrial events. go here for info http://www.speedtrialusa.com/ CHeck out the "About Us" section. It give you a good idea of what they are all about. Also check the safety section for good info on the flags and such. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Mike is setting up a mini-meet at buy helmets and other stuff at a race shop around Nov 15th or so. He will keep us posted.

nissan240boy · 10-26-2002, 01:55 AM

hey guys i am still not sure when i will know about the track day... i can try but its up to my dumb parents they are obsessed with the whole insurance not covering track thing... dumb... well i need to know how soon you need the for sure notice... by the way my name is michael... and what happens if its a rainout... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/alien.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':alien:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/baaa.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':baaa:'>

I also just looked on the speed trials websute and it said that the 28th and 29th were mandatory not just one day but two day event... co we have the huk up or what...???... also is this just a 240 thing or anyone who shows up can play

BadMoJo · 10-26-2002, 02:29 AM

Its supposed to be a 2 day deal, but i managed to get 1 day for us, so it would be cheaper.

I want our group to contain as many 240's as possible but if you have some friends that want to come they are welcome as well.

lVll2. S14 · 10-26-2002, 02:44 AM

hey everyone. damn i havent posted in a while. anyway i might or might not be able to go the track meet on the 28th. im probably going to be recieving my sr front clip between the beginning and the middle of december. so im not sure if its going to be ready in time. hehe maybe it would get done faster if we had some zilvia sr xperts come and help me out =). hell dan could take a zillion pics step by step on the installation...lol   so i guess put me down for now...ill let you know if i cant makeit in like 2 weeks. -alan (the asian guy in the orange shirt at the cuesta park meet)

nissan240boy · 10-26-2002, 02:46 AM

alright... i just need to know what happens if it gets rained out... money back or reschedule...??? well thats about the only thing keeping me from deciding... i also checked the page and since nobody lives within 20 miles of any of those shops are we all gonna tech at sears point???.

also we will be able to rent helmets correct

Ok I just got official word for those who were wondering.

We will race rain or shine!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

But if the rain gets out of control the raceway will shut the event down and we will get our money back, so in short... Nothing to worry about.

***Also, The latest I can have confirmation about who is goiung is the end of Nov.  So we have some time.

gabossie · 10-27-2002, 10:59 AM

Hey, my real name is Greg, I met some people at the meet, but I got there late. I would like to meet up with some guys to make sure I will pass tech too, since I will have to tech at the track because I'm in Socal for school. Sometime in December would be nice since I won't be coming up there for break until Dec. 5th or 6th. By the way, how many people going to this are newbies to track events and how old are most of us? I think it would just be good to know what experience levels we are dealing with. I am 19 and am definatly a newb to the track. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/alien.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':alien:'>

Wow, no offence esper, but I expected you to be younger. You get so excited about stuff, and that's cool, I just thought you were younger, sorry. If you want a nice drive in the Bay area, then you can always take hw 9 or Skyline Blvd. I used to drive those a lot since I am from the Santa Cruz area, I also used to drive into Bonny Doon a lot, if you know where that is. Just be careful, during the day and into the evening, there are often biciclists and it's hard to see them around blind turns. All of those are great drives though, Skyline is a bit longer than the others. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/alien.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':alien:'>

SR20Fastback · 10-27-2002, 01:30 PM

So we do have to get inspected the day before the actuall event, which would be the 27th? What can I start fixing or checking myself to make sure I pass? Aside getting lap belts <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

(Came in handy that day too... heh) Anyway, I think the cost was like $20 and they wanted a deposit (license/keys/credit card), but I know for sure it was $20. After that, I bought my helmet cuz I know it'll be worth it and good for another 7 yrs. As for the course, it is a real racetrack... I think it was in one of the Cadilla comercials... dunno which car was featured... maybe the CTS? Anyway, that's the course. But its easy to use Yahoo/Google and put in a search for "Thunderhill Raceway", right?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sarcasm:'> If you're in Sacramento, you're close to it. I'm not sure if I'm going to go... but like everyone says, X-mas means buying gifts and I still want new rims/tires before I subject my car to the track.

Just wondering cuz you sound young. :P I'm from 510 also so maybe we'll meet up sometime. I'm thinking of having a very small 240SX meet next month where we actually go for a drive (approx 30 miles). Kind of an unofficial meet. Anyway I'll post more about that later.

I want our group to contain as many 240's as possible but if you have some friends that want to come they are welcome as well. __________________ ----Gone----

We will race rain or shine!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> But if the rain gets out of control the raceway will shut the event down and we will get our money back, so in short... Nothing to worry about. ***Also, The latest I can have confirmation about who is goiung is the end of Nov.  So we have some time. __________________ ----Gone----
