In October I decided to set out to make the move to RWD racing instead of FWD. Partly because the Altima is too nice to kill at the track and secondly, I’d like to move to formula at some point. I purchased a BMW Z3 to start building a Road race car. This will be … Continue reading SR35 Retired from track use
At the gate This was my first time at RA. The night before I had attempted to find the gate in the dark. That didn’t go well. Today I am determined to get to the track with time to spare. When I arrived at the gate I was warmly greeted and issued my wrist band. … Continue reading Road Atlanta with the Altima “SR35”
In preparation for the upcoming NASA SE Turn 7 Gurl memorial track event at Road Atlanta I decided to get a handle on my roll. I chose the H & R springs made in Germany for the modest 1.2″ lowering. A lot of people use the Eibach’s. But, they are getting harder to find for … Continue reading Getting a handle on my roll
The Invitation to attend My excitement began as I received an email from Just Track It announcing they had room in their schedule for me at Barber Motorsports Park January 12-13. I had not run with them at all and did not know what to expect. But, Barber is the closest track to me and … Continue reading Track Day Success

I wasn’t sure where to park, how to get to the paddock, what to do … Continue reading Track Day #drivenasa

Pre-Tech: I called SpeedSouth in Pelham to see what I would have to do to get the car tech checked for HPDE1. They set me an appointment for 2:30 the same day. I … Continue reading Track Day Prep
I originally just had “The Exhaust Shop put in a Magnaflow muffler mid-ship and a custom “Y” back 4″ tips. My main goal was to rid myself of the quiet that was camouflaging the strength of the car. I was successful much to the dismay of a certain VIP who renamed SR35 the “loud headache … Continue reading Exhaust Tune SR35 version 2.5
When I first bought the car I was keenly aware that it had paint work. One of the leading indicators was the misalignment of the rear badging. If you look close enough you can see that the “Nissan” logo is about an inch off center, the “Altima” and “3.5SR” are running downhill, and the “V6” … Continue reading Wonky Badges
National Auto Sport Association Member We (SR35 and I) just joined with the intention of exploring HPDE1 at Barber coming up at the end of the month. I still have to tech the car out. Which means that an approved tech provider has to authenticate that your ride is in good enough shape to track … Continue reading DriveNASA and HPDE
