We entered in the Ultimate Track Car Challenge this year (held at VIR) and even tho we were outclassed, running against Vipers, Porsches and other big motor cars, we placed very, very well. Watch us fight it out with a 700hp Ford GT, not the street legal version.

The overheating issue was solved and by the last session, Big J had tuned the VQ to where I was topping 5th and holding 6th down the back straight. We were pushing the edge of 160mph. With better aero we should see 165+ later this year.

Here we are tearing up the UTCC! Enjoy and please post some comments on youtube. Maybe Nissan Motorsports is watching :)

Thanks for checking out the article in Nissan Sport Magazine!

Updated the bumper and added a splitter for downforce and less drag at Road ATL. Picked up about 15mph on the top end.

We added a gutted maxima intake and OBX headers and went back to the dyno today. The results are impressive. While peak only changed by 5hp, we picked up 30hp on the top. In a race car, thats massive. Anyone who races and doesnt gut the plenum is missing out. Considering we have only wiseco pistons, NWP spacers, and revup cams, the rest of the motor is essentially stock. Suffice to say I am happy with the results. Many thanks Aaron, UpRev and Z1.

Next event is next weekend at Barber Motorsports Park.

Shake down run in the Z1 parking lot after the tune. Dave, we could use some Nissan Sport decals if you have any.

Joe- I only have some small Nissan Sport window stickers available. PM me your address if you want any. Also, what happened with the NASA nationals? I checked the results, but didn't find you in the PTB results.

With the costs of going back to Utah and the car not dialed in we decided to wait until NASA comes back to Mid Ohio in 2011. Our chances would be better. We are working on getting the roll centers in check (esp in the rear), trying to find /fab larger sways for better roll resistance and creating anti-lift spacers for the LCAs.

PM sent - thx David
