When was that list updated? I know that there are supposedly more than 63 entries in the Rolex 24. Maybe they havn't listed all of them or something. I'll be going this year and rest assured I'll be takin tons of pics. I've been going to the 24 since I was 5 years old I love this race!

Unfortunetly this is true.
Nothing got approved for the 350Z this year in GS and with the additons to the BMW M3, the new 997, and the new Mustang form the factory........it will be tough.
The new mustangs built by Multimatic and Ford motorsports will be tough.
Performance Nissan cars are for sale and we are scheduled to run 4 races so far.
Need a little support in the funding department and some other "help" would be great.

Hey BJ why don't you sell a 1/2"X 2" Sticker to go onto the car for $100 bucks. I would by one to help support the cuase..
I also think Nissan should support our racers, they sponsor an off road truck and sentra. Why not the Z?

Maybe we could all donate some support via my350z.com. I guess every little bit would help.

If anyone knows of a sponsor we can hunt down and has some good leads....I am sure there will be compensation.

A MY350Z.com sponsorship would be cool...then we could possibly offer discounts to the forums members.

If anyone has any ideas I am all ears.
I would love nothing more than to bring home the manufactures Champ to Nissan and the 350Z commmunity.
any thoughts or ideas....

Sad to hear we won't see the Z's showcased in all the races this year.

I'd love to buy more products to help you guys out, but I have to address other priorities...

That really sucks ! The Zs did real well last season. Nissan defiantly needs to step up and support the Z teams. Hell Infiniti is backing up racers in the DP class why not GS.

Thanks for all the support and emails from everyone. We are looking all over the place to try and secure more funding for the 350Z program.
Wright Tuning howeve.... is keeping busy this coming 24 hour weekend.
We are running a Doran powered DP with the Labonte brothers, Jan Magnussen and Brian Herta.
And we have also just signed a deal to run a brand new Ford Racing Grand Am Cup Mustang sponsored by the Champion Ford and the Champion Dealer Group and it will be throttled by Brad Lehman and your's truly.
We'll see how it goes........if anyone comes down stop on by and say hello.
Cheers
BJ@350EVO.com
