We took a near stock 71 Z28, added our GT suspension kit, along with some Vintage wheel works wheels and Kuhmo rubber, and made it an awesome beast!  Watch as we transform Mike's car into heck of a car.  Thanks for letting me drive it!

Nor Cal Racers Club- Thunder Hill Race Park Willows, Ca.

Picture
We spent 5 days preparing the Datsun 240Z for its return to competition after nearly 10 years.  We made it to the track, and ran 1 session before a clunky trans missed shift ended the day and hurt the motor, yes that makes 2 motors in 2 cars= bad season.  Hope 2010 is better.  Thanks Steve Silvera for your help in getting the car to the track.

Mary Pozzi giving Keith some much needed pointers around the "bull ring".  Pleasanton Good Guys showed that 2nd Gens were to be reconed with.  Mary killed the competition in first, while Keith finished 4th overall.  Not bad as over 100 cars competed that weekend.

I asked, but the "King" Steve Kinser decided it was a good idea that he drove the #11.  I guess my reputation is bigger than I thought.  In hind sight maybe i should have driven the car, better luck next year Steve.  Proof old guys kick A$$
