So I only live 5 min from Lowes Motorspeedway.. So, I plan on participating in the HPDE there at Hyperfest on Sept 7&8th.

Anybody else going? &nbsp;I think it'd be great to see a bunch of's 240's out there. &nbsp;especially since they are also holding a Drifting Contest. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Also.. do you have to be a NASA member to do the 2 day HPDE?

Oops - posted the NASA schedule of events elsewhere but forgot about here. &nbsp;Sorry Chimpie. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>

I won't be at Hype-R-fest II, but I have heard a bit about it. &nbsp;IIRC, the HPDE is $300 and the "hyper-drives" are $20/session (first come first served) + gate admission. &nbsp;If you just want a taste, the drives will do - but being w/ the same instructor, etc. (as in the HPDE) will do a lot more for helping you start to learn about tracking the car. &nbsp;And yes, you have to be a member to do the full HPDE (but what's another $30?).

There is also a VIR-north weekend coming up 10/12/13/02. &nbsp;I should be there. &nbsp;I'm deciding whether to go to Negril or VIR? &nbsp;I need a vactation and can go in Oct or wait until next summer, but track time at VIR is hard to come by. &nbsp;Ugh.

Cool.. &nbsp;Thanks Mark. &nbsp;

Go to Jamaica! &nbsp;It may be hard to get track time at VIR, but when you need a vacation, you NEED a vacation. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I wish more 240 people where gonna be there.. &nbsp;I ahve yet to meet a single person from the boards.

I am going to be there at VIR. &nbsp;If I have to sell a kidney to do it....so be it....but I will be there. &nbsp;It sounds like a true riot. &nbsp;

PS this counts as my only X-mas present so it better be worth it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[planb]

I should be at hyperfest II....

[DrDubbleB]

Unfortunately I'm going to be too busy around that time to make it. &nbsp;I'd love to go if possible, so if I can free up some time, I'll be there.

[sykikchimp]

Just registered for the HPDE.. I am now an official NASA member. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I am SO excited. &nbsp;DAMNIT.. &nbsp;I need BRAKE PADS!

ugg..

Plan B - are you in NC?

[planb]

Raleigh, NC

[jdkruger4]

wohooo! Raleigh, NC! I go to NCSU and I ahve seen several seemingly wellmodified 240sx on campus this week. Well as far as i could see from across the street. I did see one that has Tein coilovers of some sort, some kind of 16" wheels, and an N1 Dual exhaust. Thats all i could tell from the outside htough... oh and it looked like it had a short shifter.

If there were a few more of us in NC i would say we should have a meet. But 3 ppl hardly warrants a meet.

I have meet with planb here in raleigh to ride in his car and apparently there is someone in raleigh here that has an SR with a ton of boltons and a PP head. He says its crazy fast. And the local performance shop: PM Racing did 5 other SR swaps this last month, plus one into a Nissan pickup... lol... go figure.
My friend is getting ready to have the Bluebird SR put in his 92 Stanza. The car will be a complete 4 door sleeper.. cant wait to ride in it when its done.
