In case some of you guys care, HKS is confirming that they will have their 180SX drag car (with RB26DETT engine) on display.  This is confirmed, pending any conflicts with major drag races in SoCal (which I don't see in the scheduling of LACR and Pomona).

So far, we have the following sponsors:

Nissan North America
JWT
AEM
HKS
5Zigen
Stillen
MossyNissan
Project D Auto Imaging (Minnesota)
JSpec.com
MotoRex/CWest
JIC
Freshalloy.com
and about 10 others pending.

It'll be a great event, that's for sure.

Sounds like a whole bunch of fun.... I'll check my schedule, I'll probably be able to go... assuming I get my car in a week or 2 and I finish all the suspension mods by then (which i should).

I'll be driving down there from the SF Bay Area and I don't have a second set of wheels/tires for the track. I was just thinking I'm gonna have to drive the car back up to the bay area, and I might not want to do that with worn out tires. Would you recommend that I, and others in the same situation, don't run my car on the track?

There's no need to run another set of track wheels/tires if you aren't going to go all-out on the track.  Whatever you have on your car now would be more than enough for your track runs.

bc240sx · 05-01-2002, 12:06 PM

This is willl be an awesome event, which i really wanna to go.. but all my friends either drive Honda or Bimmer. i really don't have frds that like 240 as much as i do .. n i really wanna get to know more ppl that are from LA and gonna go to the event so maybe we can all meet up  and cruise down there together.. Msg me back if u guys wanna met up , or it will be dope if we can have another 240sx meeting like couple week before the  event in LA>. cause i miss the Shine street meeting last time ...  thx alot...

SQ-XcON S13 · 05-01-2002, 06:09 PM

bc240sx, where are you from?  My brother has a bimmer and i feel you, there arent a lot of us around.

mav1178 · 05-01-2002, 08:59 PM

There is a good possibility that I might be able to get Mr. Shinjiro Yukawa to be at the event.

In case you don't know who he is, he is the Chief Product Specialist for Nissan, on the Silvia chassis. He is basically considered the modern father of the Silvia (and 180SX, to a certain extent).

We're also working on getting the president of Nissan Motorsports International (Nismo) to show up...

The 2002 GT-R owner's meet will be at this event, so expect no less than 10-12 GT-R's.

That's a hefty list of sponsors! Good stuff. It looks to be official now though; I won't be able to make it! I'm going to be in Shanghai... but my 240 and I will be at the meet in SPIRIT!!
Does that qualify me for the raffle draws?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  

I'm really disappointed I can't make it... I s'ppose I'll have to wait 'til next year, or whenever we eventually have something like this again in LA! Pity. It's useless that I'll make seven-stock; I can't even make a 240 meet! *sigh* I envy all who will be there!

mav1178 · 05-08-2002, 02:59 AM

One note about convention:

If you are planning on participating in the track event, but are unsure of your current plans (whether it be funds, or scheduling, or both, or other reasons), I still high recommend you register for convention ASAP regardless of whether or not you can afford the track event portion.

I say this because the space for the track event is very limited, and once May 31st passes SpeedTrial will open the remaining spaces to everyone to register. I can "hold" the space for you if you register, but you are only confirmed for the spot when you pay your track fee in full.

So far, the breakdown of the run groups is as followed:

Advanced - 2
Intermediate A - 8
Intermediate B - 7
Beginner - 15

There will be a max of 25 per run group, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

If you have any Q's about the event, don't hesitate to ask!

mav1178 · 05-10-2002, 10:57 PM

I have finally been able to secure the rates for the track event hotel.

Track event hotel:
Park Plaza Lancaster-Palmdale (formerly Essex House)
44916 North 10th Street West
Lancaster, California 93534
Call Toll Free For Reservations
(800) 670-7275
E-mail: [email protected]
(661) 948-0961
FAX (661) 945-3821

$60/night for a single adult per room
$70/night for two adults per room
$90/night for 4 adults per room

http://www.bigpages.com/essexhouse/home.asp

There is no deadline to reserve rooms, but space is available on a first
come, first serve basis.  This hotel is about 10 miles from the track (as
opposed to 110+ miles from the hotel in La Mirada), and will be the location
for the tech inspections for the night prior to the track event.

mav1178 · 05-15-2002, 02:21 AM

There are 15 more days until the early registration deadline!

So far, we have over 60 people registered for the convention, guaranteeing
this to be one of the largest 240SX events, ever.

A new list of sponsors (and donated items) can be found here:
http://www.socal240sx.org/convention/sponsors.html

Updates:

- We are still working on getting Mr. Yukawa and some Nismo staff from Japan
to come out.

- A special raffle prize will be announced later, involving a NASPORT GT3
race car!

- The track event is filling up fast.  So far we have:
.Advanced - 3
.Intermediate A - 10
.Intermediate B - 10
.Beginner - 27

Tommy @ Speedtrial has given me until the end of the month to preregister
any one for the track event.  After May 31st, the remaining spaces will be
open to other groups on his priority waiting list (starting with SoCal DSM
Club/Road Race Engineering).

I am still looking for people to be leads of various caravans from different
parts of the country.  So far Doug Schmidt has agreed to set up a last-leg
caravan from Las Vegas on down.

Register before the deadline or else the price will go up!  Don't miss out!

No caravans from Torrance will be organized because it is just too damn close to the event in terms of distance...  Plus, I'm certainly not going to organize any caravans b/c of the bad experiences (read: MANY OF THEM) I've had with people screwing around in caravans.

In case you don't know who he is, he is the Chief Product Specialist for Nissan, on the Silvia chassis. He is basically considered the modern father of the Silvia (and 180SX, to a certain extent). We're also working on getting the president of Nissan Motorsports International (Nismo) to show up... The 2002 GT-R owner's meet will be at this event, so expect no less than 10-12 GT-R's. -alex __________________ Distributor for Nismo, ORC, and discontinued genuine Nissan parts.

It looks to be official now though; I won't be able to make it! I'm going to be in Shanghai... but my 240 and I will be at the meet in SPIRIT!! Does that qualify me for the raffle draws?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>   I'm really disappointed I can't make it... I s'ppose I'll have to wait 'til next year, or whenever we eventually have something like this again in LA! Pity. It's useless that I'll make seven-stock; I can't even make a 240 meet! sigh I envy all who will be there!

mav1178 Zilvia.net Advertiser Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Hacienda Heights, CA 91745 Posts: 1,254 Trader Rating: (16) Feedback Score: 16 reviews	One note about convention: If you are planning on participating in the track event, but are unsure of your current plans (whether it be funds, or scheduling, or both, or other reasons), I still high recommend you register for convention ASAP regardless of whether or not you can afford the track event portion. I say this because the space for the track event is very limited, and once May 31st passes SpeedTrial will open the remaining spaces to everyone to register. I can "hold" the space for you if you register, but you are only confirmed for the spot when you pay your track fee in full. So far, the breakdown of the run groups is as followed: Advanced - 2 Intermediate A - 8 Intermediate B - 7 Beginner - 15 There will be a max of 25 per run group, NO EXCEPTIONS!!! If you have any Q's about the event, don't hesitate to ask! -alex __________________ Distributor for Nismo, ORC, and discontinued genuine Nissan parts.

So far, we have over 60 people registered for the convention, guaranteeing this to be one of the largest 240SX events, ever. A new list of sponsors (and donated items) can be found here: http://www.socal240sx.org/convention/sponsors.html Updates: - We are still working on getting Mr. Yukawa and some Nismo staff from Japan to come out. - A special raffle prize will be announced later, involving a NASPORT GT3 race car! - The track event is filling up fast.  So far we have: .Advanced - 3 .Intermediate A - 10 .Intermediate B - 10 .Beginner - 27 Tommy @ Speedtrial has given me until the end of the month to preregister any one for the track event.  After May 31st, the remaining spaces will be open to other groups on his priority waiting list (starting with SoCal DSM Club/Road Race Engineering). I am still looking for people to be leads of various caravans from different parts of the country.  So far Doug Schmidt has agreed to set up a last-leg caravan from Las Vegas on down. Register before the deadline or else the price will go up!  Don't miss out! -alex __________________ Distributor for Nismo, ORC, and discontinued genuine Nissan parts.
