Checking out ZCON 2026 Phoenix AZ Firebird Raceway track day HPDE

[trackratZ]

Running with ZCCA, first time on this West track, with other Z clubs and our GroupZ. Surprisingly cool summer day in Phoenix, overcast 70s, sure was a blessing! Weather was nice to my setup Carbotech XP12/10, RE71RZ, GTR fluid, no issues, temps oil, diff fine, and no fade, great modulation. The RZs took about 1/2 a lap to warm up for grip.

Good job. My GF lives in the same city where the event took place.. With a bad knee I would not enjoy the event.

Did the registration include the track fees?

I wish but nope. Registration $75 includes tshirt, goodie bag, couple raffle tickets, Texas chili. HPDE track day/drift was $250 which is reasonable nowadays for any track. Man your GF could've enjoyed the festivities and car shows, very well done by the desertzassociation and zcca.

Would have went this year, but I reverted my Performance to stock and my pickup date for 27' NISMO was mid-event.

Hello. Just looked at your red Z and was curious on the wheels you have. I can’t zoom the pic close enough to see the details but they look stock but with a contrasting color? I do not like pure black wheels on my car, (I know they are really dark charcoal) and not into going aftermarket. I did put red Z decals on the center cap but it’s not enough to make them interesting. Thanks for any info you have.

I was running the OEM 370Z Nismo V2 wheels, all rear 19x10.5" square set. They fit great without any spacers and no rubbing even with 285/30 tires, slightly lowered which gave a little more negative camber. I went with this setup so I can rotate the tires giving more life. These V2 wheels are some of the lightest, strongest forged set out there compared to other Nismo wheels and aftermarket.
