Here is the link for the times from todays sessions at PIR. The UNItech racing team which is also running 350EVO parts is also doing very well.

You can go to Live Timing & Scoring on the site and follow the practice and race as it unfolds. Keep it up BJ!

 

The race will be featured on the Speed Channel, I don't know the hour tho.

 

They'll show Rolex race ,but I didn't find Grand-Am on tv schedule... Any ideas?

 

Great! to Zs is better then one. But where is Unitech on qualifying grid? What happened?

 

That's great, right at the top of the GSII class.

 

The UniTech car kept cutting the curbs on the infield in which we where told in the drivers meeting not to do.
The race should be interesting.

 

I'm going to the race tomorrow and I'm really excited to see the Z's in action. I've never been to a race before, so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not sure about TV times, but I think the actual GS class cup race starts @ 1pm AZ time tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it won't be televised live tho. The Rolex series race starts @ 6pm AZ time. Since we don't do daylight savings time, we're the same as PDT right now. HTH

 

Looks like it will be shown on Saturday May 10th at noon and 1pm EST on the Speed Channel. Not sure why they have two Grand AM races listed back to back in the on-line program guide.

 

Thanks for the updates, keep them coming as your "MY" best source of info.

 

I'm confused. On the Grand Am website it says that both 350s competed in both the 250 and the 200? and it shows different stats for both races. Did they run in both races this weekend? It lists them in the GT class in the big 250 and the GSII class for the 200.

 

It's on! Speed Channel, PST 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. He's in 25th right now and they're focusing way to much on the DP cars.

[Edit time, BJ's in the Z now]

 

It appears that BJ's Z ran in the GT class as well!

 

He's in 16th, just saw the backside before he got passed by a DP., looked like he didn't have the suspension or traction to make the turn as tight or, he let the DP car pass, a lot of the GTs are doing that...

WTF? Nissan Motorsports/Nismo are sponsoring the ST I class Sentra SE-R but aren't sponsoring the GS II 350Z. Anyone have the inside scoop on this?

 

Yes......the deal is that Nissan / NISMO is not sponsoring the ST1 car and from what we have heard Nissan wasnt happy with the teams press release.
We finished 4th in the Gs2 race on Saturday. We where actualy running in third when the blet flew off and lost power steering.......no power steering in the Z at Phoenix wasnt exactly easy. That happened with about an hour to go in the race.
In the Rooex race we finished 6th in the GT class and 13th overall........not bad for a Grand Am Cup car.
The team did a awsome job this weekend as we where faced with many hurddles.
Hats of to the entire Schuitemaker Motorsports team......
BMP is 1 1/2 away.

 

Nice job BJ! The car ran very well in the GT class. It seems to be gaining speed. What happened to the other Z?

 

In the Rolex race they just started the race and pulled in after a couple of laps. We used it as another "test" session and had lots of fun doing it.
In the Grand Am cup race...................just watch the race on Speed Channel next weekend......I will gladly give you my side of the story if you want but I am just going to let you guys make your own call.......and lets just say Stu Hayner apparently thinks this is the Trans Am series....I will leave it at that.
On another note.....The track started off ok buyt quickly went to crap most off all the quick times for the race where set within the first ten laps or so.
Luckily the water pump on the Z is driven off of the cam chain!
This finish would have given the 350Z its first proffesional podium........but fourth it 3rd time out in GAC isnt too shabby.

 

dwnshift, congratulations on your race!!! I will probably get a chance to meet you at the Calif Speedway. Looking forward to it.
