I spent a great weekend running the driver's edge event here at the Houston MSR track. Tonnes of fun and the Datsun did great! Here's a couple of laps from the last session today.

Looks like the car handles great! Nice driving too.

It looks like the bugs are back.... Nice driving, Steve....

The car handles spectacularly well given the fact that I am running on 400 tread wear tires. I'm now in the market for a set of track rims and tires. I'll keep the current ones for daily driver use and swap them out when it's time to play.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. May I ask where do you mount your camera and what kind of camera you use to video this?

Ah, the addiction has taken hold quickly. I am beginning the motor rebuild because I blew mine at a driving event on Thursday. It never ends!

I simply zip tied my iphone to the rear view mirror. I mounted it hanging off to the driver's side and put a piece of rubber behind it. Very securely mounted and still lots of mirror left to see what's behind. I run Harry's lap timer app on the phone. It uses the phone's internal GPS, accelerometers and camera to record lap times, graph lap speeds, graph g loadings, record video and lots of other statistics. Great little app for the track.

I would recommend Toyo RA1's. They handle great and last a really long time on a light car like the Z. How long is that track? How many turns? Looks like it was a fun track.

16 turns, 2.4 miles. Very nice course for momentum cars like the Z. Thanks for the tire info. Time to go shopping!

Steve, where in Houston is the track and is it open to the public ?

It's just south of Houston on Hyw 288. It's open to the public for track day events.

The next open event that I know of is the "Red Meat and Racing fuel" evening BBQ and track time on the 24th. I would love to make it out to that one. Details on the following site...
