Thumbs up GA Cup at the Glen this weekend!

Good luck to all the 350Z's this weekend at the Glen! Follow the Z's at www.grand-am.com. 350Evo and Performance should both be running two cars apiece!

Good luck, BJ!

Did you see the SRF entry list for the June Sprints? 74 cars are entered there - and lots of familiar names from our past. Those were some great Runoffs.

Maybe Unitech will give an old guy a chance and I'll see you at Mid-Ohio. Not holding breath...

Yeah I love the sprints.......I remember 125+ spec racers fields up there.
Looks like the next national will be at Road America in July. Then Grattan and Mid Ohio to finish it off. Well see if that works or not.

BJ, the entry list indicates you all are going to be running a 2nd car... are you running the new car or the old car?

David Murray who won in the Porsche said the 350Z had more power than his car but his car was better in braking and handling.

David is full of baloney on that one..........
Stu and were pretty much buymp drafting up the the hill and he ran us both down...the Porsche has 2 things going for it....
straight line speed
and braking.
It was one of the most fun races I have ever been in.
I washed up high after the bustop and Murry was able tog et a run past me going into the boot......two turns later the full course yellow came out and thats were the race ended.
The race will be on next Sunday at 2 PM on SPeedChannel.
The Schuitemaker team had some great pitstops and some real great calls for pitting.
Its amazing what you can do when your finally going on all 6 cylinders!
MUrry also kinda pushed his way past Stu and I believe they dodnt have a very friendly relationship anyway.

Congrats BJ. Looks like you finished second even with the front bashed in. New car must be pretty good. I wondered if Stu got some help when he spun while leading. With 20 minutes to go Z's were in positions 1, 2 & 5. Should get alot of good Z coverage! A win is very close now......
