Mark,

I was there in my copper 78 too, I did not know you were there. It was my first track event and I learned a ton. My instructor was Tom Barnett in the maroon 280Z. He took me for a ride, very fast. Says he runs at 2 boost settings 350hp or 450hp. He ran this weekend with a tranny that had no 5th, he still rocked. I never realized how different it was between track and autocross driving.

BTW the white Z was a very fast V-8 car.

And the blue 280Z with ACCENTZ tags is a prior Gold Medallion winner.

Fred, I came by a couple of times but never saw you. I do have some decent photos of your 280Z as well. I'll add them tomorrow.

Thanks for posting these great shots Mark. That's some of the best action photography I've ever seen! Beautiful cars!

Too Cool!

I love seeing pictures of the car on the track, I was working hard!

Please PM me with how to get copies!

Fred
