I'm looking to get into road racing with my 240 anyone in the NJ area or familiar with clubs to join for track discounts? and how is the 240 on the track?

 

there arnt many tracks that you can just go and race on, try autocross or just street race.

 

street racing is illegal!

 

yea, and your point issssss.........

 

I'm not street racing a car that i dumped so much money into, to risk it being impounded and risk my licence. plus how do you road race on a street. against who.

 

you can go to Raceway park in Englishtown, Shri. Just make sure you know whats going on, cus i went last sat. (4 free ) and they didnt let anyone but VW & Audi owners race. It was Waterfest.

 

(it was a joke )

 

attending autocross events ( other then drifting events) will be my thing for sure once my car gets better footwork. I was into grip driving befor drifting and practice daily on diff streets while driving. All autoX does is make u one hell of a driver on the streets. Many of the skills u pick up in-between the cones may save u and ur car from some tough situations that normal motorist could not avoid ( Intersection crashes) www.Scca.com to find out the latest AutoX events near you.

 

Its been a few years since I've done it. But I used to go to Pocono Raceway, Watkins Glens, and Summit Point to lap on the track.
Carguys.com has weekend deals. 2 days on track with instructor in your car.
Plus you can join Porsche Club of America or the Miata or S2000 clubs and they have organized lapping days also.
Its an absolute blast. Pocono is the fastest track with the least amount of curves. (You use the north and inner track) I was able to sustain 145 in my RX-7 on the straigtaway and 155 (the fuel cutoff on a 94 Supra TT.
Watkins Glen was fun because of the elevation changes and curves.
Good luck.
I'll be picking up a newer sports car this fall to start that again.
I wouldn't try it in my 240 though. Just don't trust a 15 year old car and top speed.

 

i think all of us in nj and the surrounding areas so setup someplace to do some roadracing...legally.. cuz i wanna see what my car can do

 

yeh, have like our own Nissan day at Englishtown Raceway Park

 

I like that idea , I'm sure if we could get a decent amount of Nissans we could try using it for discounts and maybe able to become a nissan club. I'm sure if there were 20 members to show for a track day they'ed work something with us.

 

Lucky for me I live 20 mins from VIR .( www.virclub.com ) You should look into joining your local SCCA as they'll have plenty of info on events for your region .
