This is one of my local tracks and I've heard of them before. They must have rented the track for a day to themselves. Cops in that area are real picky and I always see people get pulled over going or leaving that track. Dangerous stunts but they chose to run that risk. At least some of them are wearing helmets and some cars seem to have cages.

i've never seen anyone get pulled over leaving etown that doesn't deserve it. i spent a lot of years going to that track (you could find me there most wednesdays for time trials, and often on sat/sun if there was an event).

i'm surprised that etown let them do that crap. they were on the return road and pit lanes, which is going to tear up the roads (which aren't in the best condition to begin with). i would have thought they would force them to the back lot or tell them to go to NJMP.

As foolish and immature as they are being, that is some impressive driving skills. To be perfectly honest, so long as they had permission from the track I don't really see a problem with them doing what they are doing. They are only endangering themselves.

D'oh! I just realized that Toyota and Subaru just launched a 240SX\Silvia like car but Nissan does not have one. Nissan dropped the ball?

There were rumours of a Nissan compact RWD in development a while back. They still got the 370z though, not exactly in the same league as the FR-S or BRZ, but still gets the job done.

Nissan will deffinitly be playing catch up. I think they have been putting too much money into the GTR (rightfully so) to be paying much attention to the small RWD segment. Considering that there are currently only 3 cars in said segment (sold in NA that is) The up and coming GT86/BRZ/FRS, the BMW 1 series, and the Hyundai Gensis Coupe.
