    Im looking for someone to possibly view the car and tell me what I need to address.
    Does anyone provide this service here?

    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.

    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.
