Default Congrats to the Performance 350Z 3rd place!

The 350Z from Performance (Jeff's) had a pole and finished 3rd in the GA Cup race at Mt. Tremblant! Congrats Stu & Mike! BJ's Z had some problems but still got 7th in class. Next is VIR.

Yeah, great job!!! Another 350Z podium and only a matter of time before they get their breakthrough victory (as soon as they let me drive the car!).

Raceboy,
Make sure you watch the SPEED coverage of the Runoffs T2 race in Nov. TC Kline drove the wheels off his 350Z and took 3rd against the Boxsters, Camaros, Firebirds and one S2000. The car was awesome under braking. He actually may get second as the winning Firebird is under protest.
I am hoping BJ or Jeff's Z's get that first win at VIR. I'll be there to see it.

I heard that he had non-stock springs. You can change the shocks but not the springs I think.

The protest was disallowed. TC stays in third.

Anybody who stops by the Unitech/Performance Nissan trailer and says they are a my350Z.com member will recieve a free 6:30 DVD of the car racing at Fontana. We produced this video as a promotional tool and it is pretty cool.

Great, I can't wait to get it. I'll be there too. I can't wait to see what lap times are with these Zs. I was there 2 weekends ago for the full course. I ran 2:26s, my instructor ran 2:14.

I am thinking that we should be running in the 2:06-2:07 range once we get going. It should be an interesting battle in GS2 next week. Traffic is going to be a PIA there.
We will also be running the Schumacher Porsche GT3 RS in the Rolex GT race on Sunday.

Yeah it bent up the rear quarter panel and knocked the toe on the right rear.
We were still able to pull away from the leaders at the end. We ran consistantly in the 48's and 49's until i felt something in the rear.
On the last lap the right rear axle snapped.............made the last lap about 20 mph all away around loosing two postions and falling back to 7th.
