Dai's Driving Academy June 20 (Saturday), 2009 - 9AM to 4PM - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

From Hiro Inada...

Hello,　

Thank you for participating in May 3rd Dai's Driving Academy. We were happy to hear positive comments from many participants. And now, we would like to make this event happen more often, hopefully on monthly basis at the same location, El Toro. Though City of Irvine is quite risk conscious, El Toro has a big advantage of its space, as long as we can use same area as in the past event.

Next one we arranged is June 20(SAT), and we are going to add intermediate courses for both drift and grip, shorter and easier than advanced ones, particularly with many turns for grip.

Also we are working to improve several points; food service, tire service, and also planning to invite more JDM gear vendors. Keep you updated when our conclusion comes up on these issues.

Lastly, we would like to ask $80 for entry fee for either drift or grip driving, but we'll include limited version of JDM OPTION T-shirt, which we parepare exclusively for this event, only for early registration by end May.

Please take a look of attached files, and send us back your registration form by e-mail or by fax by end of May.

Thank you again and hope to see you on June 20.

Regards,

Hiro Inada

Course is pretty rough on tires. I'd bring an extra set just in case.

NEED MORE GRIP DRIVERS!

Barely any were out there. I got so many runs my oil started overheating! Also instruction is provided which will help tremendously, whatever you skill level is!

94cc0rd · 05-22-2009, 08:54 PM

turns101 · 05-28-2009, 02:21 PM

If they have the big course and you have power I got 3-4 runs out of my tires on there. 3rd gear manji and upshift to 4th gear or 4th gear initiation and maybe down to 3rd for the manji..
Its a fun place..
