[280ZED]

Does anybody know of information to races that the 240Z was in or any links because I talked to a guy who said that he placed 2nd to Bob Sharp in 1972. He was from Quebec and only raced zeds's for a while and also raced mini cooper s's. Does anybody know who he is because I didn't get his name.

For a good example of just how much Datsuns dominated the racing scene in the 70's, just look at the 72 ARRC race at Road Atlanta.
