you wont have problem with tech. it's a private event and inspection is not going to be super strict as long as it's the car is mechanically sound and there are no issues with safety. Grillo is in charge of tech at the event. if he turns you away, you have my permission to kick him in the nutz and take his car.

fyi, you should let the car sit for two days after a new windshield is installed to let the sealant dry completely before driving it. and they also have to order a special weather strip on the top which could take a day. so plan in ahead if you're going to have it done. then can come out to where your car is at and do it. it takes about an hour but you might have to be there to sign paper when it's done.

honestly, it's going to be hard to find a co-driver for trackday. it's not the same as autox, it's hard on equipment and chance of damaging a car is much higher. a mistake at 140mph could do a lot of damage, not just running over some cones. i personally wouldn't trust anyone with my car unless i've ridden with them at least two separate events and know that they don't drive past their limits. now if i had a beater, you can do what ever you want with it.

Tech could possibly overlook this if Mr. Jackson was made available.

43* and mostly Sunny for Sunday with a chance of hardparking at 90%. Today, tomorrow and Friday all at about 60*.

I heard there is a stanced 240sx that is going to dominate the hardparking event.
