If the SCCA would drop the extra 140 lbs. it might be right there. Realize it is running a restrictor as well. Rob thinks it needs to have the weight dropped or the restrictor reduced. Don't forget Liam's Nismo 350Z won the DC Pro Solo! I know he plans to run his Nismo at the finals as well.

By the way, I got the latest magazine David. Thanks for using my pics! I have not decided yet if I will be able to go to the Runoffs. I hope too.

Mark- to my knowledge, nobody is scheduled to race the BRE 370Z at this point. It still belongs to NNA and hasn't been readied. As for Brian Kleeman, I heard about his shunt at the Glen and he's entered his older Z33 chassis (with an HR?) at the Runoffs. His car builder has several salvage 350Z chassis to pick from, so there's not too much interest in starting with a Z34 yet.

As I've said all along, the comp board won't be making any last minute concessions to the 350Z in T3. They'll make the Z a mid-pack runner for 2010 and my guess is they'll take out 50# for 2011 and see where the car is.

Glad you liked the coverage in issue #15. Hope to see you at the Runoffs.

^ Well it is doubtful if Bill S. or Rob will even go to the Runoffs if they have no real chance to win. The car is forced to weigh 140lbs. more than the T2 car with less tire & engine restrictors. Crazy.
