The Looong Race
James Duncan, this is the same car (in original condition) as in the "back in the day" pics in Grey Ghost's gallery: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/data/505/medium/4873CP_280Z.jpg

Stroker rod length computation - need sanity check
After posting I thought of that too. I beleive my JE's protrude at least 1mm above the deck. I assume you're using an N42, the quench side of the chamber is recessed quite a bit, there's probably a fair amount of room depending on the piston dome of yours.

Good luck Greg Ira!
I was brousing over the Runoffs qualifying/race results and found something very interesting. Their best lap times actually decend with theoretically slower classes instead of the other way around. GT3 and EP are on essentially the same skins and GT3 should have a good chunk more in HP. These aren't flukes either, the times are consistent across a 4 day period. Greg Ira, 240z, EP, 01:43.807 Donald Ahrens, 240z, EP, 01:44.589 Jeffrey Winter, 280z, GT3, 01:46.735 Tony Giordano Jr., 280z, GT2, 01:50.565 Jeff Winters recieved the "hard charger award" advancing quite a few positions. No disrespect, but 1/3rd of the field DNF'd!

Stroker rod length computation - need sanity check
Seems too simple, eh? Unless I'm missing something obvious, it looks good to me. You can also do: 73.7 / 2 = 36.85 + 142.24 = 179.09 83 / 2 = 41.5 + -179.09 = 137.59 With that said, yes, it sounds like you'll have a real screamer when it's all done!

Looking for Lexan windshield...
I'd be interested in one. Shall I contact them or should we see what kind of list we can put together first?

CP_280Z
Amazing picture, wonder what year... I've raced against this exact car a few years ago; they've set lap times I've yet to match at Blackhawk. The Duncan brothers brought it out of retirement a few years ago, it's body unmolested.

More youtube, 240's running at Road Atlanta/Roebling Road
Good vid and fabulous track, hopefully I'll have the chance to race there someday. The over-optimism of the other 240 was a bit surprising to say the least.

Feb 2004 racing article
I've found the concentration and skill required to master GPL and some other PC games far exceeds any x-box or playstation, and I have tried most out there. However, I'd have to agree on the braking aspect of it, that was the most difficult for myself as well, but the premise is the same for the most part, gradually braking later until the threshold is met. When I got my license I was far from getting owned, but am always quick to point out "it's mostly the car"

OT: My Datsun Roadster is racing at Coronado!!
Sorry if I'm a little late on this reply, but that's very cool! I've always wondered what the criteria for the Montery event is. I assume only cars with a genuine race history can participate, and any others are only allowed on a case-by-case basis, which I assume yours would fall under.
