Newbie needing direction

[dangerami]

Hello All,
I have purchased a SCCA IT S class 1971 240z which was last raced and inspected in 1991.
Im looking for someone to possibly view the car and tell me what I need to address.
Does anyone provide this service here?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Where's here? John Williams would be the guy if you are in the Atlanta area. He races a 240Z in ITS, maintains other racers 240Z's, builds, repairs, etc.

You've definitely come to the right forum, now you need to tell us where you/the car are located so we can help you out..

I am new to this forum.
Hello All....
I am looking for assistance in inspecting my 1970 240Z for the ITS class.

My car is located in Windsor, CT and I would appreciate if someone could come view my car to assist me in understanding what needs to be done.
The last time this car was raced and inspected was in 1991 per the log book.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

From another thread. Dean, I suggest you get hold of Greg Amy or Dick Patullo per your earlier post that Greg responded to.

Greg Amy said
I live in Middletown and Dick Patullo lives in Springfield, so you're about halfway between us. What is your timeframe for getting this car back on the track? I won't be able to help you for at least a couple weeks...

What class did it run in '91? If it has a current SCCA logbook then some things you'll want to ensure is that it meets Appendix I rollcage requirements (e.g., door bars and main roll cage hoop supports), steering lock, towing eyes, racing seats/seatback support, belts, SFI window net (drop DOWN, not UP), kill switch, fuel test port, things like that.

Send an email to grega at pobox dot com and we'll can see what we can do for you.

Greg

There are two other drivers school in the Northeast Division - Summit Point on 23-24 March and NJMP on 6-7 April - which are a little farther but much sooner. If your car is ready, you may want to consider one or both of them to get a jump on the season.

Take it from my own experience, if you wait until June for the Lime Rock school, you'll have a really hard time getting that second school in. I did an alternative school at Watkins Glen in July. Otherwise, I would have needed to wait until October. (From some discussions we've had in the Glen region, that may not be an option this year.) If you can, hit up one of the other schools earlier in the year and get racing!

I think Pittsburgh will have an April School. Heed the advice about getting your schools early !

I sent Dean a list of all the safety rules changes since 1991...we'll help him get through it.

Dean, if you need guidance/help/suggestions do send me a note. Be glad to help any way I can.
