I've done a bit of autocrossing with my 200, but thats been my only motorsport experience. I absolutely love it though.

Today i woke up early and drove out to Summit Point to watch my neighbor particpate in a trackday with the Mercedes Benz Club of America. I was only expecting to sit in on the drivers meeting, and then do some hard core spectating.

Fortunately my neighbor introduced me to a friend who offered me a ride in his car, running in the advanced group.

We ran on the main course. the car i rode in was a 91 integra Gsr. He had blown the B17 the week before and had installed a B16A2 that was completely stock. We we're running with some high horsepower cars including a C5, M3, a few 944 turbos, and my neighbor's 190E. The 'teg really held its own. After about 4 laps we got passed on the front straight by the vette, the M3, and a 944 turbo S, but man did that car stick in the turns.

I'll blame it on the 6 hours of sleep ive gotten over the last 4 nights, or not eating breakfast, but when i got out of the car afterwards i felt like i was floating. :)

I am now saving every penny to participate in the driving school with my lil 93hp monster. I'll also be scouring this forum for as much info as possible to help improve the learning curve for when i get on the track w/ an instructor.

Cant wait! :biggthump

Following my neighbor.

If you're at summit point this summer and you see a really slow white 200sx. Thats me. I'll be the one waving you by. :)

Are you going to be there for Hyper-Fest? You really should make it out again. There will at least be a half dozen sentras there.

I actually wont be able to make it this year. Gonna be out of town that weekend.

I'm looking to attend a driving school in the near future, but i cant seem to find any info at the summit point homepage. its not properly loading for me for some reason.

Try there first, and there are tons of other groups that run all the time like CarGuys, Chin,or an owners club. Also you might find www.trackschedule.com to be of some help

I just did an R32 volkswagen event there this past weekend. Plenty of ways to get track time.

On the right track (short straights, many corners) you'll be surprised and so will others at how well your GA will hold it's own. I love taking my NX1600 out to the track! But long straights will be disappointing, so choose your track carefully!

I'm looking forward to it. Just got a fantastic new suspension setup that i'm itching to thrash.

Change of plans! I'm going to make it to hyperfest afterall. I'm signed up for the "hyper drive", and awfully stoked.

Lookin forward to meeting some forum members there. If you're goin out, let me know.

:)

man those 190s rock. haha the ga is fun to drive, just on the straights you'l be grinning your teeth going MORE POWER!!!! as others zoom by you hahaha but its fun!

:) i'm also a 190 fan.

He's been trying to work out some brake issues before his next race. On the 2nd or 3rd lap he was right in front of us at the end of the front straight. He started braking into turn 1 and a huge cloud of white smoke erupted from the back tires. It spun him around till he was facing us still going about 50mph. I dont know how he kept it on the track, but man that was scary to watch. By the afternoon he had all the bugs worked out and was lapping faster than ever.

I love the GA. Takes every ounce of power its got just to accelerate with traffic, but the gas mileage is fantastic.
