SteveJ, I will be there with my teenage son. Not sure which Z I will be in. Probably the white 240Z.

Bump.

Greg, You bringing the white & red 240Z? I cant wait to see it run. I am planning on being there. Derek will probably be there too.

^ Sorry to hear that. Zman is a great guy to deal with.

^ Good point.

I agree. Les knows his stuff and is great to deal with. It looks right to me. What are you comparing it to?

Here is what I am using on all my dashes now. http://www.detailedimage.com/303-M2/Aerospace-Protectant-P12/32-oz-S2/

Sold. Thanks Nate.

Very nice!

I ended up with 3 extra in white still in packaging if anyone is interested.....$1 per plus whatever shipping cost. They were stuck on a shelf and forgotten.

Classic Datsun Motorsports is the way to go.

Car looks very good. We painted my son's 280Z 611 as well. It was the cars original color. <img src="http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/data/500/DSC_5704.JPG" />

I bought the team set. Pretty cool. http://www.bre2.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=brekyosho1.43modelteamset&Category_Code=models_sub_diecast

Very cool. Congrats! I highly recommend VIR. I know they have a well attended HSR event.

Kyosho is making the BRE 240Z in 1/43 scale as well. http://neohobby.shop-pro.jp/?pid=14755302 http://neohobby.shop-pro.jp/?pid=14755295

Thanks guys. I know my ignition switch is getting harder to get the key turn/operate. That may be the issue. FWIW I went to check the old Z cars batteries due to my 2 year factory battery failing on my 350Z. Cause: low on water. My mechanic said they are low maintence not no maintenance batteries. . My two classic Z batteries were just fine on water. All three cars are on a battery tender.

Car started and ran fine today. Battery shows full charge on the battery tender....weird.

Where can I buy a new positive battery cable for my '78 280Z? Went to start it yesterday and it tried to start and then just clicked. Battery was on a battery tender and showing fully charged. There was some corrosion on the positive post so cleaned that off and tried again. Nothing. Took the 7 year old battery to Walmart. It test fine. Took the battery back and reconnected it. Car starts. Tighten it all down. Won't start. Just click and nothing. My father in law sees some smoke at the positive cable end. Jiggles the wiring and it starts without even tightening the cable down. What should we do? We were thinking replace the positive lead. I looked at MSA and they sell some for other year Z cars but not a 77-78 280Z. What now????

Greg it was easy for the guys in the back to start on rains as they had no chance otherwise. You drove great to get back to 9th place after switching over. You & Jesse were the class of the field even in the rain. See ya at the Prod Fest.

Speed Cast TV will have the races archived soon with incar footage and replays. I think the E Prod race is out on Oct. 18.

Bump for those who may have missed this.

That was wild. Once again tire choice decided the race. Greg ran well after swapping to rains. Weather was great until the E Prod race....Greg did set fastest lap.

Look for the race around 5:30 EST Sunday at the link above.

Go here to watch the races Live! Coverage is really good. Its free. http://speedcasttv.com/scca/ Greg's race E Prod. is the last race on Sunday.
