So I am so excitied, I have finally signed up for my first track event. I have spectated several track events, including a NASA Time Attack + HPDE and have been doing autocross for 2 years now. I will be doing the 12-Hour 17-turn Sebring course with Chin Motorsports. There is a "Open Track All Drivers" format that (according to the website) allows for up to 4 hours of track time for novices. I am not sure that I want to race my car for 4 hours, but the opportunity is there.

As far as the car, I will be driving my '95 Nissan 240sx. As the car sits now:'95 Nissan 240sx SESR20DET S13-blacktopGreddy M-Spec IntercoolerHKS Wastegate actuatorHKS SuperSequential BOVB&M Short ShifterSpec Stage 3+ ClutchZ32 Fuel FilterWalbro 255 lt/hr Fuel PumpER Spec hot-pipeMR downpipeTestpipe (God I love Florida)Koyo RadiatorFAL Dual 12" FansHelical diff from S15 SpecRTokico Illumina front strutsKYB GR-2 rear strutsUnknown springsNismo Tension Rod bushingsB&M Short ShifterSpec Stage 3+ ClutchER Radiator Cooling PanelForge coolant hosesMiata BatteryNismo Motor and Tranny MountsGreddy Boost GaugeGreddy Oil Pressure GaugeGreddy Rocker-Arm StoppersCusco Rear Sway Bar

Looking to buy:Racing seatscamlock-type 5-point harnasses

I also need to figure out some brake-cooling, probably going to go with some sort of laundry-induction. I will also do the hood-mod for better cooling. Hoping my car holds together :DFor those that have done road-courses before, is there any helpful insight that you can give me? The event is April 14th, so I have 2 months to put the car together.Edit: This car is also my daily driver

Thanks, I finally get to start putting all those parts on.I also ordered the Greddy oil-pan to prevent oil-starvation and I'm also going to try some chassis stiffening foam in the pillars and rocker panels. I will let you guys know how that stuff goes and will definately snap some pics.
