I have to say, for me - there is nothing cooler than a race-prepped 240Z.

Freakin' AWESOME!

I agree. The 240Z is an icon IMHO. Glad I own one!

**JeffYoung** · 11-01-2005, 05:09 PM

Nice pics. I agree about the Zs, that camber and stance looks mean. The Parrishs' 57 Z and Rick's white and blue Z are beautiful cars. David's red Z has some battle cars, but it looks mean as well. A good group those guys, all great guys.

Jeff I actually have a couple of pics of the TR8 on track I'll try to post soon. I met you over at David Spillman's trailer.

**Racerboy03** · 11-01-2005, 05:20 PM

Do you have any pics of the ITA race?

**jmark** · 11-01-2005, 05:28 PM

No sorry. I only had enough memory for 3 races. I shot pics of the Prod. race as well as Groups 4 & 7.

**JeffYoung** · 11-01-2005, 07:34 PM

Cool jmark, post away. I remember meeting you, and great work on those pics. As good as any of the professionals at the track.

**jmark** · 11-01-2005, 09:26 PM

Here you go Jeff.

**Bryan88** · 11-01-2005, 09:50 PM

Great pics man !!!!!

Thanks for posting our #57 Z car.......My Brother and I put in
a GREAT amount of work building that car .........

**JeffYoung** · 11-01-2005, 10:07 PM

[Bryan, the 57 is a sweet, sweet Z.

How did things pan out with the points? I am hoping that with Carl finishing first, my withdrawal didn't hurt you guys. I just didn't feel safe continuing without the rear view mirror on the car.

**Bryan88** · 11-01-2005, 10:30 PM

Nah.......actually our fuel filter stopped up with about two
laps to go and Carl passed us in the green mazda to take the
win.......

I should have ran and got you some zip ties or duct tape or
something.......LOL......just didn't have time because
Spillman was coming in to pit right after you.......
sorry about that man........

Rick won the ITS points title.......

No problem Bryan I was there helping David & taking pics. You & Steve's work shows in that Z. Sorry the filter clogged.

**JeffYoung** · 11-01-2005, 10:53 PM

Damn! So you guys were ahead of Carl when the filter issue cropped up? Nice run.

No worries on the zip ties/tape. That was a "test" race for me anyway. I was out there on very old tires, running very rich, just to make sure the car would run. It did.

Thanks for handling the pitstop, that was much appreciated.

See you guys next year.

Jeff

Hey bryan88 nice z, ive seen you at some of my races,ccps. i was wondering were did you purchase those diamond racing wheels as i would like to get some also, i live in Indian trail so i was wondering if at all if you purchased them locally?

**Parrish57** · 11-02-2005, 10:10 AM

Thanks for posting the GREAT pix! Carl and I had a great battle on our hands. He and I were tied for second going into the race so it was out of our hands for the championship. All Rick needed to do was finish 4th or better to tie. He won the tiebreak with Carl because he had more wins. Congratulations to Rick!

The race itself was one of the hardest drives I've ever put in. Carl and I traded the lead several times. I could get by him on the corners but he could always get me back on the straights. He did a great job of picking the traffic, too. I had to drive pretty aggressive to get by some of the cars. When Carl pitted I put in my 2 best lap times of the race (I went to mylaps.com to check it out). After my pit stop I had a comfortable lead with only 8 minutes left. The fuel filter issue was a recurring problem so I've got some work to do over the winter.

I'd like to say sorry to the white Miata, whoever you are, that I punted going into Oak Tree. I thought he saw me coming but maybe not as we ran out of room. I feel bad and that's only the second time I've ever punted someone off of the track.

Manny... I got the Circle wheels from a guy in California. I think you can get them more locally. Try Stan Lizauskas at SDJ Motorsports in Mooresville. 704-664-5435.
Also, Mike VanSteeburg at ISC is a dealer. He's out of Florida but usually comes to SEDIV races. iscracing.net

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend!

No problem Steve. Nice to see the 240Z still competitive even after 35 years! I am the guy you met at Charlotte and over at David's 240Z. Let me know if you want a CD with the high res. versions of the pics. You & Carl battled very hard but I never saw you guys hit. That's a credit to both of you. See ya soon. I'll be at the ARRC with David.

Would you mind if we posted a few of these pictures on the CCPS website?
