Default Boston Area Performance Day?

I have posted this in a couple different 350z forums. We are starting to get some interest, and have a day set aside! JULY 21st, its a Saturday so hopefully most of you can make it! it will be worht a little drive.



Here it is:

I work for this company called In Control Advanced Driver Training. What we normally do is teach deffensive driving and emergency tactics. However, just recently we did a performance day with a Farrari club, and had a blast doing it. They brought some sweet cars and learned how to drive their cars to their own personal limits.

We do this at a closed Naval Air Base in South Weymouth, MA about 30 min from Boston. And we go through some skills then set up a big "autocross" style course.

There would be plenty of Instructors available, and all of our instructors are licensed racecar drivers as well as amazing teachers. So, I thought it would be great to get fellow Z drivers and othe Nissan lovers together, and make a day out of it.

SO, what i am trying to get is an understanding of the amount of interest there might be from this site. So feel free to ask any questions, and let me know what you think.

The cool thing is this day can be basically form fitted to what we would like to do.

Thanks!

There will be a cost, but that is dtill TBD. The cost would be just to cover rent for the area (minimal) and to pay the instructors, which we will also try to keep to a minimal.


Sorry about the tires though, those will have to be on you.

Cost: The cost is $175
BB Racing has decided to sponser the day so by going to www.bbracingusa.com you can find a coupon code to use when registering. Doing so will save $50 making the cost only $125.
