Default 2006 Solo Nationals

So who all is attending this year?

I'll be there, not sure if anyone else will be driving my car this year or not. I've got a few offers out there, seeing who bites. Hoping to get a nice hotshoe in there to show BS what the 350Z can really do.

I'm assuming Carter and Jim will be there.

What other 350Zs are planning on coming to Topeka to play?

Although a bunch of Montrealers are making the long haul down, I'd like to try and fly down and hook up with another Zed instead - especially since my BSP mods are not SCCA BSP legal.

I'm waiting for after the Aug long weekend (Cdn Nationals) to add to my resume before actively looking... ;-)

I had tentative plans for a BS codrive with Glenn aka PDX_Racer. Guess I should contact him to see what's up!

25th-30th place.. here I come!

I'm coming, still don't know if I'll bring the Z or co-drive my buddies STI in AS. Right now the STI is looking more probable.

We only have a one car trailer and I don't really feel like driving my car the 1200 miles with a trailer on the back when I could just co-drive. He is going to be competitive and it'll be my first time to a National. I wasn't even thinking about driving to begin with but he offered to let me be his tire warmer so I jumped at the chance.

Not a 350z, but I'll be there in the 4-Door G trying to surprise some of the Mustangs and Camaros in ESP. This will be my first year to go so I’m looking forward to meeting some of you guys out there. I don’t expect to be at the top, but I think the experience will be great.

I'm kind of in the air right now about Nationals. Due to work/$$$/vacation I am most likely not going to be at Nationals this year. Getting married in December and I really should put the $1k-1.5k I'll spend that week towards a honeymoon!

Also considering parting ways with the 03 in hopes to drive my efforts to complete the 73, but not quite sure yet if that'll happen before or after the end of September.

Not giving up -- just putting it on the shelf for a while, as I can't afford to bring it to Nationals this year.

But Chris, note that I'm still coming to Nationals. Learn from my example.

I'm going. Everyone says that "you have to experience it". Besides the parties are supposed to be pretty good.

I'm still in the air.

Andy is already driving something else at Nationals. He'll be in a BSP STI. He lined that up prior to me considering not going.

I'm not sure going is even an option right now, I've gotta see what I can swing for work, and still have vacation time for our wedding/honeymoon in December.

If I can find a way to get effective (legal) camber up front, I'll be heading down to compete in BSP.

It looks like the A-arms I got from 350evo for mine are no longer being sold (not sure why) but Performance Nissan has a few options from Cusco and Stillen. Cusco's option is about half the price of what I paid for the 350evo arms.
