Who is the idiot in the EVO? Is he intentionally brake checking?

Think that was Marty Grand. Anyway, that's why they call it 'amateur' racing. I do not see any brake-checking or blocking. Just someone that is in way over their head. Obviously not a COM licensed driver!

sno - Welcome! Follow-up with Bruce on the mentor program. Keep the car simple and safe. If you'd drive it cross-country and back without expecting to stop and make any repairs, then it is likely ready for a track day. M2005 helmet or better. Cotton, long sleeve shirt, pants, socks. Closed-toe shoes/sneakers (no 'open-toe' shoes/sandals, etc). Couple days of hydration (plenty of water), two good nights of sleep, and brush your teeth twice that morning, as you'll be smiling all day (and for the next week!).

Any qualms about the car about an event? Call Les at Apex Automotive Engineering (508) 229-0090 and arrange a pre-track day health inspection on the car. Les is a COM instructor and ASE certified master mechanic. He knows track cars and our rules. I've seen plenty of Nissans and such on his scales & setup rig. He's also responded on this thread....

In addition to the support you get from Bruce and the Mentor Program, feel free to drop me an email.

Best,

Will Martins

Awesome, I have been in contact with bruce,

he sent me an email with a few getting started articles.

now I do have a helmet but I am having trouble identifying if it qualifies.

it is an hjc cs-10 dot approved [re-branded as circus], but after I stripped through the helmet I did not see any snell certification number which was odd. I bought it in 2005, and used it when my father and I shared a Yamaha seca 600.

Some internet commerce sites say it is, some don't mention it, I am assuming it is not a qualified helmet.

Looks like this, but all black

DOT is not good enough. Needs Snell. Check DriverSupply.com (run by our president) among others.

DWW Motorsports' Nissans don't suck:

Also wonderful racecraft by Brian forcing the evo to make a mistake.

Very cool, collective and patient.
Also some very close racing. Excellent.

That LRP race is the one where Payson broke his neck jumping his Miata over that Elise coming onto No Name. Brian and Marty were neck and neck fighting for the SCCA T2 championship that year. I think Marty ended up winning it during the last race of the season. Brian campaigned a DWW 370Z in World Challenge competition last season.
