Is this a spectator event? Any 240Z's running in ITS?

Usually the main gate by the gift shop is open. Any one wishing to watch can sit in the grandstand without going through registration that way. I'll be running my 240z in the carolina cup race at Lowe's.

i'm planning to run the at least the saturday event... which ever one that is. has anyone seen a schedule for this event? if so, could you post it?

why does it take CCR so long to post schedules and sups? also, why do they not post entry fees on the sups? i thought the GCR stated that a sanctioned event had to post entry fees?

just curious.

Schedule is up!

http://www.ccrsolo2.org/forms/jj05/jj05_sched.pdf

Which races will you be running in Rick, David or Mike? Doesn't mention if it is a spectator event. If you guys have room on your guest passes let me know. My son is 12 so I think he maybe free with a signed waiver. Thanks!

i just registered for both the CCPS and ECR events. i like how they have a package deal for the sarrc+ecr, or ccps but not for the ccps+ecr events. i guess i shouldn't complain. at least i was able to register b4 race week.

Jmark, no Skull 260z at Charlotte. We are putting the car away for the year after CMP. Rear end and clutch are shot after the wreck at Roebling -- the diff is only driving the right side rear wheel. Made for an interesting day at Kershaw -- I probably should have parked the car.

I got this from Martin Bartlett:

Check out the club web-site, ccrscca.com for the registration page for June Jam.
It does not cost anything to get in.
Thanks.

Martin,

I am interested in checking out the IT races at Charlotte June 18th & 19th. I was wondering if there is a schedule posted somewhere and how much it cost to get in.

Thanks,

Hey gang. Sorry I've been in Michigan teaching roundy round racing school. Ron, shoot me that e-mail again. I think my box dumps every five days, and I've been gone six. jmark, I'm running the saturday carolina cup race. I'm #72 white with carolina blue stripe, my teammate has a lime green 2nd gen rx-7 (booooo!). You can't miss us. Stop by if you make it.

Thanks David. I may do that. Not sure what good it will do me because I'll probably have to hang out with my son (12 years old) and I am not sure what access he is allowed. He has a knee injury he got in a basketball tourney last weekend so we probably won't be doing as much walking as we would normally. I def. want to meet you guys. I tried Mike's email and it keeps getting returned.

I took my son to watch the Carolina Cup IT race at Charlotte yesterday. Met David aka dspillrat who was crewing for the #23 260Z car of Mike Mackaman. David's Z isn't quite ready yet. Mike's car ran well. Also met the #72 car 240Z driver Rick aka Rick_htm and Steve the driver of the #57 240Z. There were a total of 4 Z cars running. I believe Mike & Steve finished in the top 5 of the ITS class. Had a great time and looking forward to seeing David's Z out there soon. All the Z guys helped each other out and were alot of fun to be around. It's pretty cool to see 30 + year old car running competitively with 5-10 year old cars. David & Rick great to finally meet you. Stay in touch. Looking forward to Road Atlanta in Nov.

what a blast. ran the ccps class on lowes and it was just such a fun race. i really do like that track. too bad they only run one race there.met some of the other drivers and really liked the whole event!

we ran the CCPS race on Saturday and the ECR (in the rain) on Sunday, with the CRX. we both had a lot of fun... liked the track a lot, even though we don't have a horsepower car. during the CC event, Matt in the 13 Honda, Jim in the MR2 and I were drafting for several laps, and actually running 3 wide through Nascar 3 and 4!

the rain was interesting, my codriver had us well into 1st in class with the toyo full treads. we wound up 2nd after it dried up some.

what a blast! glad to get to see some of you guys and meet some i didn't know. and thanks again to Kent and Ralph for loaning me the video tape friday!

That was a blast! I had a good run in the CCPS race, although I got my first ever penalty in SCCA racing. I finished 3rd in ITS but was penalized 1 finishing position for a short pit stop. I was short by .14 seconds!? I suppose the rules are the rules. Anyway, I drove all of the practice qual and race on Saturday and Bryan came out to run the ECR on Sunday. He started the car in the rain and I took over after the track dried out. Thanks to the 86 crew for the tire change.
It was great to meet some of the people from this board, although I didn't really have that much time to sit and talk. Keeping a 35 year old car down in the 1:26.7 lap times takes a lot of work!

Silver ZSteve, It was nice to meet you too. Stopped by to look over the car but you were busy. Your Z is very nice and quick too. I was the dark haired guy with the 12 year old son hanging out at Mike's car. How did you finish in the ECR? I didn't realize you are from Rock Hill, SC. We live in Greer SC.
