It is simply amazing how little these Japanese sports cars are! -

26th-Z and Hector Cademartori yucking it up and signing posters. I also had the chance to meet and talk with Hal Crocker. Bought a painting from Steve Petrosky to add to the archives. -
Tell that character in the Datsun jacket to get a haircut! -
First Silvia I have ever seen. I walked up to the guy and told him and he said; "well, at least you know what it is!" Very nice unrestored example and it lives in Florida! -
This was the second one I have ever seen and not in as good of shape as the golden one Mike posted in this gallery which was the first one I have ever seen. Two in one weekend! Overdose! I was told that there are only three in the country, however I think Les Cannaday has one - making three I now know of. -
This is the 300ZX GTS chassis 005 that won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1994. -
I'll be there in the morning, Mike. Clark Stephens is on his way now with his white and red 280Z racer. I think Beck said he was going. I'll be around promoting the Florida Z Association. See you!

Here are a few more of my shots. Rob from the Suncoast Z Car Club took a slew of pictures and is putting a Cd together. A 280Z historic racer from the Central Florida club took a first in class. A lot of guys came out from the local Gainesville club and a couple of guys made the long treck up from the South Florida club and the Spacecoast club. Fastest time of the day was 50.19

Well, we had a good time! I just did something I have never done before. I rented a track, made up the registration, advertised, and with the help of my Florida Z Association friends, put on an autocross. We had 34 cars, no one got hurt, everyone had a blast, and aside from getting rained out in the afternoon and the whole thing turning to chaos at the end, things went pretty well. It hasn't rained in over two months - just my luck! The Florida Z Association is a group of guys from various clubs around Florida and we have organized to hold statewide Z events in the name of the Florida Special Olympics charity. We put on Z-Fest which will be in the fall this year. The driver training course in Gainesville is turning out to be a real nice track for us. This was our second event there. The track is a grouping of lanes and curves, circles and straights that can be configured into a nice half-mile road course and we ran cars for timed runs in two groups with a rolling start for a single lap timed run. I think group A got ten runs in and group B was in the middle of their eigth or nineth run when the clouds let loose. The 350Z Club of Tampa showed up in force as well as an equally large crowd of Z31s and Z32s, but it was the good old 240Z that took fastest time of the day! We hope to do this again soon.
