So far, me and one other 300zx. going to confirm on Tuesday.

Silverstone are running their own open track days and have 2 planned on the International Circuit. (which is the old Southern circuit with newly built/refurbished pit & paddock areas. Supposed to be pretty nice. ) Saturday June 18th Friday July 15th £299 per car & Driver. £60 for an additional Driver. price includes Breakfast/Lunch and around 7 hours of open track in an open pit lane format. There will be up to 40 cars there on the day. 20 minutes of Driver training goes for £20. *I see it's a heck of a lot more expensive than the £139.00 for Cadwell Park.. but it's Silverstone and Cadwell is way too far away for me. I'm going to get on other Z-forums and see if we can get more cars from clubs out there on the day. If I get enough, we might get some sort of discount. Regardless I'm planning for the 18th. let me know if there is any interest here. **I've got a surpluss of track day Vid Camera's + mounts that I'll have there on the day... so could make for some good footage ......

probably shouldn't mention CCME to anyone.. it will trade & may swing well.. but, a lot of people have lost a lot of money on this so far Good enough reason to stay the heck away. anyway, here's an article that tells the story. http://www.thestreet.com/story/11126917 ... -bear.html

*also.. I have a pretty interesting 'economy outlook' report from a decent UK Economist. ( i get them every 6 months, He's commissioned to do them for a group of MD's, and they are a good enough read ). Ping me a PM, with a private email address, if you want to see the one that came out a couple weeks back. I'll email it over as I don't think I can attach a .pdf to a forum.

Interesting to find a thread like this on a car forum. I do a bit of extending Scalping on highly volatile stocks that I find that trade primarily on news/emotions. Call it DayTrading. it's not my day job, just gets in the way of it, let's say. Got totaly screwed on a Chinese RTO that I had an excellent month run with. Took a big position on the Friday a.m. Japanese Tsunami dip and didn't take my profits fast enough. IT got HALTED at about 10:30 a.m. that morning. Anyway... could be one to watch in the future. I re-opened on the Grey Sheets yesterday at $3.50 ( the halt was at $11.86 ). I sold at $3.85 and doubled-up in the low $2's. There were around 11,000,000 confirmed short positions (including Puts) on a 7,000,000 Float... and most recon that only about 5,000,000 covered yesterday. Most All the panic selling of Retail LONGS took place yesterday.. or at least should have. The wild card are the Institutional holdings and when they decide to dump. But.. should be around 6M Shares that need to be bought to cover those short positions. even at $2.16.. when that starts to happen could make for a $1.50 artificial jump. It's a totally crap, could be a total scam, Chinese company. so beware. and Stop losses are essential ( can't get halted twice... can it! ) iHub is a decent forum for up to the minute DD.. and in many cases FUD. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/bo ... d_id=16418 I've got quite a bit of money to make back and this damn stock, Hopefully all the pain is in the past.... and my double-up (WITH A STOP LOSS set!) proves to be a good move. *NOPE> STOP Loss initiated. Will look at this again in the future when Company actually does something to defend it's stock pRICE!

Lol.. yep, I was a bit in a state when I arrived at 10:30 a.m.. I had missed the briefing and I honestly thought the session.. but they gave me a cursory nod as the guy knew me from previous outtings. I Didn’t have time to drop off that stuff off at a friends stand etc… so yeah, I’m sure it was funny to watch. I was bummed I didn’t have a chance to set up my hero cams and racelogic GPS.. and tbh left a £k's worth of camera kit+racelogic under a towel (outside) next to that door you saw me shuttling to! Scary last second stuff. Look guys, I didn’t come here to dish out abuse.. only to defend myself a bit and introduce to other track enthusiasts. Cpt., I did let people by and you can see it in the Vid. I tried to let the Red300 through on the first straight as he was being hyper aggressive from the very start... but he slowed. He tried to undertake 2 of us at once on about the 3rd corner and the I let him through before the 4th. As far as the 3 times You say I held you up... I honestly didn’t notice it on the day or I would have gladly waved you by. And I can’t really see it in the Video. I can maybe see once... but there are 4 of us in a pretty tight line there.. and these were very short straights on that part of the track . I was looking to pass as well, and on the next straight, they let me through and I was long gone from there. Unless you were looking to undertake on a turn... (as in at minute 8:00! -I know a guy who’s pretty upset about that move)... sorry, but the thought of letting someone through on the inside of a turn never crossed my mind. I take your point about waiting 10 sec’s though.. in retrospect, I should have. Hey, I came on here and said “look, I apologise if I caused any griefâ€. That’s about all I can say. I’d hoped that we could share a common interest and possibly 'the track' as a group again one day. (i'll put my slicks on and keep it straight & arrow!) I’ll leave that up to you guys.

re: Not everybody knew how to drive evidently. Mr White ZX was a complete kn*b. Did you shoot the video, Mr. Captain? If so, I can imagine it would have been worrying to be behind me. I did try to create some distance between me and others before I really pushed the envelope; and I think the wide-angle lense gives a warped perception on distances. But. if I upset you, or ruined your experience at all. I apologise. It was my first outting in this particular car and I was playing around quite a bit. So yes, a bit spirited when taking into consideration your pride and joys were out there, sure. Saying that, I felt my corners&passes were tame compared to a couple others out there! but knowing how to drive??... I knew exactly what I was up to and have logged a good 60 hours on tracks. Yes, I go for it & with 450 bhp @ the wheels I let the boost kick it out a bit on almost every turn I felt safe to do it on... it took a few laps to figure out how to bring it back with less of a jerk. and tbh, will take another session to refine that little trick. Anyway... **Many thanks for the vid.. It's narrowed down a possible O2 sensor, or Injector Issue I have on my left bank. ***No thanks for the name calling.
