Mont Tremblabt
I wan thank everyone for there support and Tadashi and the entire TechnoSquare guys for all the help this year.
Last weekend at Mont Tremblant was a roller coaster ride.....
The 350Z really shined on the track as both of the Z's were always running up towards the front in all the sessions.
Michiel quallified the car and was running up in 6th position.
We had a great pit stop under the first full course yellow which moved us up to fourth and the guys in front hadnt pitted as of yet.
The second lap after the restart I was brutally punted by a Porsche entering turn one at 110.
I barley missed the pit exit wall with no tires in fortn of it....but ended up in the gravel trap and we lost two laps.....this took us out on contention for the win pretty much....
The alignment got a little wacked out of shape but we went back out and got one of our laps back and moved up in to a solid 5th. I was able to turn some of the fastest times of the day and after a later caution period pulled away from the leaders hopeing to get another yellow and maybe my lap back.
We lost the left rear axle on the 2nd to last lap about 10 yards formt the start finish and had to do the last lap on one axle....
The 50 second lead I had on 6 th and 7th dwindled fast and had to settle for 7th.
The Unitech team did a nice job and I am sure one of us is bound to win one of the last two reamining races.
This whole year we have been proving the speed of the Z but luck has not been on our side.
I want to thant Injen technologies and Techno Square for their support this year......
We wont give up.

BJ,
The luck is going to turn around. Hopefully at VIR. The cars are definitely getting faster. I am looking forward to meeting both 350Z teams. Check your PM. I believe this race will be shown on SPEED Saturday the 27th.
