I know the majority of people involved in motorsports with a 240SX are usually into drifting, but I’m just curious as to what other forms of motorsports the 240SX owners are into. Doesn’t even need to involve a 240SX (if you race karts or something). Personally, I am severely torn between open-wheel and closed-wheel at the moment… each have their pros and cons. I’ve participated in a few NAVEX Rallies (TSD, navigational, watever you want to call them) but nothing on a performance level (like Tall-Pines or Targa). I think I’m pretty well rounded as far as what motorsports I’m interested in. Just post up what form of motorsport you participate in/are interested in. Cheers! ---

I expected SOLO2 to be fun. Boy was I disappointed. It only took one session for me to not even want to bother with it anymore. Only thing I’d consider doing for a while is SOLO1. Or just lapping days. I can’t commit myself to getting competitive just yet with the car. ---

Yeah I was going to do Solo 1 this season… but I ended up getting severely side-tracked. 😢 The fact that they might (dont know if they still are or not) be using Calabogie in Aug. was reason enough to do Solo1. ---

The only downside to performance rallying is that the majority of it takes out outside of Ontario, which I can’t do because of school. 😢 ---

I hate the fact that I have to drive out like a few hours just to race. I wish there were more venues closer to in/around Toronto. Would benefit the whole ‘racing’ scene a lot by keeping punks away from street racing. ---

Yeah, Cops: “TAKE IT TO THE TRACK” Us: “LOWER GAS PRICES!!” Lol, take it to the track? For what? To spend gas money and still get the same tickets I would get racing on the street IN the city? (not impromptu stuff at a light, that kills, I’m talking ORGANIZED, and REMOTE). ---

Do I have anything to fear if I have proof that the vehicle passes safety and emissions? Hell I wouldn’t mind having those two papers with me anytime I go to a track. Cops can’t do shit. ---

Cops can give you every ticket they like, but whether it stands up in court is another story. If a cop is giving you something you KNOW is bullshit, just let him… its easier to fight it in court than in person with the cop. 😉 But yeah, my new design slogan is “SLAP IN THE FACE LEGAL” … basically the car is modified with all of the laws/regulations in mind. Cops will want to hand you tickets, and you can just laugh knowing that your car was BUILT using the MTO handbook as a modification guide. 😉 ---

Exactly. I wouldn’t want to drive a car around knowing it wouldn’t pass regulations. Kinda hypocritical that I do drive like this at the moment but I try and keep a low key. ---

raced motocross for 1/2 my life… once you learn to whip a bike around proper, driving a car aint very hard. ---

i bought my s14 after selling my vw golf gti for the simple reason that its a rwd car with amazing handling, but no drifting here im building the car to do solo1 next year but mainly to make a it a power and great handling super car. motorsports wise ive raced karts for a club for 2 years now and come this spring im buying my own 2 stroke shifter kart, i dont care what anyone says but there is nothing better than the feeling of a shifter kart on the track, if you can race a kart in 1 cm rain puddles in the corners of the track drifting a car becomes way to easy :lol: ---
