Well, it kind of separates the wheat from the chaff, Redline wants to see the envelope pushed in order to create a valid spectator sport here in the states. It's no different from the drift events, and guys complaining about that and track time. The last event was a packed track. But alot of it is about the aftermarket industry putting their products to the test for validation.
We will be testing cars out at Streets of Willow in the coming weeks.

Going to any standard trackdays in the near future?

Like I said, for someone like me who just wants tracktime at this point.

Redline time attack events are for the big boys. There is no reason for me to pay extra to compete in an exclusive event which my car has no chance of winning in.

Not sure when my 240 is going to be trackable, Still need to do front brakes and I have not yet decided what to do with them, 300zx ones are looking pricy, ~340 for 2 of them freshly rebuilt.

LOL, my car sat on jacks for 18 months because i didn't have the money to even put a rollcage in. It isn't just for the big boys, it's for guys with alot of passion to get out there and push it. Everything requires some kind of sacrifice. I suggest 300ZX callipers and Ford Cobra rotors for the front if you are budget minded. I run them on the track. I have a friend that did the cad drawings for the centering spacers and calliper adapter bracket. He has the mod parts available to do the swap. They are so good, that i can't see using anything else on my S14.
Your anxious for track time , nothing wrong with that. But Redline isn't a ripoff
by any means.

I am going to see what I need to do for the RX7 4 piston calipers I already have! I know I will need to make a bracket. As far as rotors go, I'm 4 lug, I am going to get wilwood 2 pc rotors, they have a 4 x114.3 hat. I just dont think its right that 15 year old calipers are goign to cost me as much as new 4 piston wilwoods, referring to 300zx ones. The rx7 calipers are smaller as well and still plenty.

I have track time, just not in the 240! It hasn't been to the track yet.
