Is it just me or is the 240Z in ITS just pure heaven? Frig. Wish we had a supply of rust free stuff up here.
Dunno 'bout that, Andy. Old cars can be a *bit* of a challenge. Sometimes while I'm thrashing on my car between sessions I watch the Miata guys hanging out in lawn chairs under their canopies with envy.
I think they're a lot more fun to drive than a Miata, but than I've only driven a Miata a couple of times. OTOH, those Miatas turn and brake better. I was pretty amazed how much deeper I could go before I hit the binders.
As for the rust-free deal, I don't think there is such a thing. The car I'm racing now came out of Phoenix and it had a little bit.
If I were building a new car now, and had a bigger budget, I'd be seriously thinking about a 280. Anybody got Joe Harlin's phone number?

Yes, I live about half an hour from Moroso. Homestead, Sebring and Daytona are all within a couple hours drive. I've never road raced a car, but road raced motorcycles for a few seasons in the early 90s. I've been crewing some for a friend at SCCA events here in FL to learn the ropes, see how things work. I built instead of buy, I know bad decision, but for me it's as much about the car as it is about racing. It's almost ready and schools will be coming up here soon with any luck.
Apparently we aren't far apart. We have a shop in Riviera Beach, and like you hope to be doing the schools soon. We ran the PDX at Moroso in the fall, and will be running any PDX's we have in Fla region this year (I heard it may be June or July), and either my brother or I (whoever draws the short straw) will do the double school next year at Roebling. My uncle has a warehouse full of old z parts so if you need anything just give us a shout. Are you going out to the track for the event this weekend?
