The Track Guys hosted a 2 day event at Sebring International Raceway in Florida. It was definately worth the trip. In the Beginner and Novice groups you got to drive with an instructor as well as classes. I would say if you are new to the sport I would definitely take advantage of them.

The 240sx has some pretty basic mods. It's an SR20(S14), FMIC, full exhaust, Injectors, MAF, ECU,, as well with suspension mods BC Racing coilovers, Poly Suspension bushings, upgraded tires (245/40/18's Sumotos), R32 GTR Brakes.

For the most part all I can say is WOW, I was surprised how well these cars handled. The grip (esp around turn 17) was tremendous. The car is extremely predicatable, it let me know if it was going to understeer or oversteer, which it didn't really do either. I was able to keep up with a lot of cars with DOT tires, large racing spoiler, front spliter, cages and all, and the little 240sx was able to keep up.

Though in the straights I got roasted. Though the car is in need of a bit of a tune up, so I was probably missing quite a few horses. (No time for a real tune up at the time). Though ultimately in the end, it probably going to need a Jeremy Clarkson (POWER!!!!)

Also had cooling issues. After a few laps it would start to run a bit hot. It has a Mitsumoto 2 row alluminum radiator, but I guess that wasn't enough. I will have to do some ducting on it and maybe even a water sprayer over the intercooler/radiator.

I also got a little bit of brake fade, I'm hoping this can be corrected with upgraded pads and crossdrilled rotors.
