How many people are on here form Alabama and where are you located?

I'm in Phenix City/Columbus, GA

Bryants95240sx · 04-09-2007, 09:58 PM

Jefferson county here.

bamaboy · 04-13-2007, 10:41 PM

man there really isn't many Alabamians here

bamaboy · 04-19-2007, 08:10 PM

I know we aren't the only 2 swinging dicks from Ala-fuckin-bama on this bitch.

cgtdream · 04-28-2007, 07:12 AM

Yo whats up all, im from around b-ham..i dont live there, but its nice to visit....btw, i was there just recently, and i kept seeing this one 240 parked outside of a gas station off an exit near tuscaloosa for 2 weeks straight..could never find out who it was...is it anyone here who knows who the fudge im talkin about?

koukimonster139 · 04-28-2007, 08:23 AM

St. clair county. FTL

orange13donkey · 04-28-2007, 11:42 AM

I'll be moving to Mobile Alabama at the beginning of June!!!!

raen419 · 04-29-2007, 11:40 PM

Tuscaloosa AL for 3 more months, then back to Trussville....thank God.
Don't own a 240sx anymore, luckily. Rockin' a Miata for my new toy.

Spenser, C, and a few others are registered on here...as well a Hussey, I think. Spens and Hussey are in Pelham/Alabaster area.
C is in Gadsden...and I think thats it as far as Zilvia.net members.
Andy might be on here, he's in Auburn (not far from you).
I'm not active on here much, if at all. Spend most of my time on RoadsterDrift, 240sxforums (where I mod), ALDrift (which was setup by Spens and Brandon...another B'ham guy who needs to get to work on that 510!!!), and a few other car/Miata forums.

Of the 240sx owners/former owners I know (keep in mind most of us met through 240sx's and have moved onto other cars over the years) only a select few spend time on here.
Todd, C, Mario, Brandon, Bryant, Andy, Spens, Keith (my roommate, owner of a S14 Silvia that is pristine and for sale), Hussey, Brent (who's dropped off the face of the Earth), and Boyd are all within an hour of B'ham. Then there's the AlDrift.org guys whom I know few of (b/c I live in T-Town....fuck I hate this place).
Btw, I probably left a few names off that list considering the amount of 240sx owners/enthusiasts I've met over the last 6-7-9 years.....fuck I've been around for too long...lol

bamaboy · 05-09-2007, 06:07 PM

i just moved back to AL from Milwaukee and I was wondering if there are any track days anywhere in the state that any of you guys know of, Let me know if there is anything you can come up with

raen419 · 05-17-2007, 09:04 PM

Well, honestly its kinda stale here sometimes, but not too often.
Check www.alscca.org
I haven't looked in a while, but there's almost always something going on at least 2 weekends out of the month between TVR, the Bham SCCA stuff (autoX), and then the track days at Barbers.

With all the stuff going on this time of year I kinda wish I was more track oriented than I used to be....but college comes first.

24Zero · 06-01-2007, 10:20 AM

I am from Gadsden, which is just north of Bham

bamaboy · 06-01-2007, 10:27 PM

whats up 24zero...... any track events near you?

24Zero · 06-02-2007, 06:54 AM

There is an event coming up at Barber Motorsports Park in Sept or October. I don't have the dates handy. I will get them and post them, however. You just missed a good trip to the Dragon for Zdayz though.

bamaboy · 06-03-2007, 02:07 AM

yeah I was trying to get in touch with some folks about that but they left me hangin

raen419 · 06-03-2007, 11:54 PM

There's always Miatas at the Gap in the last weekend of July...hahaha
You'd be kinda out of place but have some fun nonetheless. I'm going to try and go back this year...but it all depends on work.

The1 · 06-04-2007, 04:43 AM

*walks in*
From Birmingham...but I live in Montgomery now

Man that sucks. You could have road up with us. We had 9 Z's, My 240 and an Evo in the caravan. FYI this months AutoX at Birmingham Race Coarse is 6/24 if you are interested.

bamaboy · 06-04-2007, 09:57 PM

get me the details on it. I may have a couple more zs from the area that will come.

24Zero · 06-05-2007, 05:53 AM

NP
Birmingham Race Course is located off I459 @ the Derby PKY exit.
Registration begins at 8:00 and closes at 9:30.
There are usually 80-100 cars @ the event.
Here is the link to ALSCCA

raen419 · 06-08-2007, 10:20 AM

80-100? Lee, I've only seen 80 (at most) during the Speedsouth Shootout.
More like 40-50 cars. But that depends on weather. Although more people need to come.
The Talladega Grand Prix is this weekend for the TVR (Tenn. Valley) SCCA division. The B'ham guys are hosting it, but I'm pretty sure anyone can run. They need workers bad. I'm hoping to be there Sunday, but it all depends on the car and work.

The SCCA is racing at Barbers the first weekend in July. I should be working it, work permitting. And the Porsche 250 is July 20-22. Its always fun, and there are usually plenty of cars to drool over.

bamaboy · 06-08-2007, 12:28 PM

wow....the entry fees are high as camel cock. I guess I need to get used to that. I haven't been through any annual tech so I guess I'll be missing this one. I would love to come up and meet some people and see whats going on though. Maybe later this year I'll make it up there. I'm having some issues with my car now anyway. Have a good time. Post some pics!!!!

raen419 · 06-08-2007, 08:52 PM

Car issues eh? Join the club.
My motor has been apart waiting on a new head for 2 months...and now that I have it, I'm having to wait paycheck to paycheck for the timing belt kit, valve cover gasket, and well....every other gasket. SUCKS.

BUT, its cheaper than Nissan's stuff for the KA or SR.

orange13donkey · 06-10-2007, 10:55 PM

I am finally here in Mobile. If there is anyone in the area, shoot me a PM. I would like to see some other 240's around here.

Downtown Mobile tonight...

GSX Running · 06-17-2007, 12:40 AM

I'm from Tupelo MS, we have alot of events at Memphis Motor Sport Parks. Theres one on the 8th

I'm not Lee. I'm Jamie. We have been have had as many as 130 drivers at some of the events this year a BRC. I should know as I am the Guy that has them sign the waiver or takes their cash, geeeez.

The next event is 7/29 BamaBoy if you are interested in attending.

The PDX event is 9/29 at Barber Motorsports park which should be an awesome driving experience.

There is also somewhat of an event during the Porsche 250 at Barber the 19-20. If you purchase your tickets online and use SCCA or ALSCCA as the promo code you will get a paddock pass and special parking in a "show" type area.

24Zero · 08-07-2007, 12:19 PM

PDX has been rescheduled. It will be December 1st at Barber insted of 9/29. The September date conflicted with with the Crow Mountain hill climb.

FYI Z-Con is Oct 1-5 in Daytona. There is a group of us going from here if anyone is interested in going down.

SW20Racer · 10-08-2007, 01:14 AM
