Didn't think my thread would create that much drama?!

I'm all for it, though I guess my initial post may have been a little cloudy to some. All that matters is that I drive out there, have a good time, and drive back with a smile on my face

I could really care less WHO hosted/sponsored the event. As long as it happens, I'll be there. It takes a lot of heart to put a convention together. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

I don't really see this thread as drama thus far. It's all in good convo for the most part. Just some needed questions that are/were going to be asked eventually. My wow comment was for the name change of the event. I wish it could be the SR20 convention, but it not, it's all good

. Now show me to the track! Long live the SR20 anyway. SE-R for life.

Yeah, that's why I included the link, because it just caught me by surprise that it was pretty much the current accepted direction by everyone who's organizing something. Oh well, I'll accept it, it just takes time.

Sooooo....if its a national Nissan Infiniti Convention, who's going to contact HQ and get some SERIOUS sponsorship?!?!

I'm all new to the convention stuff but I do it for the friends that I have made through this forum and the old one. I could care less how its done its just a good time and I'm sure it will change a little now but the sr20 guys will stick together.

Road America is 4 miles long with 13 turns. That's a lot of corners to work. Rent won't be cheap. I don't think there would be enough SR20 guys to make the track day affordable.

I saw the original Can-Am cars run close to 200 mph on the straight before braking for a 90 degree left hand turn (#5). Rent the movie "Winning" starring Paul Newman for some good RA (fake) action. That is where he picked up his interest in racing.

If you want to know the maximum speed your car can go, this is the place.

WIR is still there and the fox valley sports car club still holds a couple auto-x's there every year.

We're going to do some sight seeing on the way there, and on the way back.

Old people, and parents needing a vacation from kids

I saw Alex's thread, you guys got the motor in last night! Good stuff!

Did he check the tension of the tranny like I told him?
