And now you see the problem involved in overcoming just the FIRST question on the list.

Trust me, we've had a long time to discuss this. It evolved into the realiZation that the quickest and cheapest method of having a Club race car would be to buy an existing one ~ competitive or not ~ which already had all the safety features on it (fuel cell, plexi, approved roll cage, fire system, electrical cut off, tow points, safety bars and straps, etc) and just race it as-is.

Even that would cost a bundle, and then there's the trailer, the spare rubber, the parts, the fuel, the full race Battle Rattle, the entry fees, and onward from there.

you are a big helper. in 6 months i have already discovered that. Frank isn't this a good start?

how about just a Bob Sharp inspired autocross Z? no huge cost there being as to do autocross all you need is a registered vehicle and a helmet. and you can share a helmet. so if we took Airjockie's Z repainted in a CTZCC/Bob Sharp theme. the rest of that car is all set for autocross. we can modify more if we want to. Autocross events cost no more than 25 bucks a person.

If you're good enough,you can make a small fortune racing--you just have to start w/ a big one...

Boy, Zman. Fix a few things on your car and you get all sorts of fired up.


Wish I had that feeling right now. Maybe I will when my car is running again...

It sat safely, rusting away on my driveway for the last year... not being used because it needs a tune....I'm still waiting for Vinny to come work his magic on it. If it ran, then I would let the club decide what it looked like, and I would drive it to work if it was set up to do so... and plaster it with club info so that if another person saw it, and they have a Z, he/she would look up the websites name that was at least as big as the door...and join. Daily advertisement.... free


I've already told the wife that if I had a crash in the subaru and died, CTZCC gets my Z, and Hondaswap.com gets my CRX.... and all associated parts to each club and website....since she wont use them anyways.....and I can't use them if I'm not around.....

AJ, I undrstd Vinny was (is) planning to visit you soon. He has another obligation near you and was trying to arrange to kill two birds with the same wrench, to save him another trip from New Milford.

That 260 would make a nifty race project, but considering all the work you put into it, it seems a shame to tear it all apart to lighten it.

Is that the same one you drifted?

single layer carbon hood, fiberglass hatch with lexan windows all around, seam weld the chassis and toss in some extra bracing through the floors....We are so on the same page

Yeah Chris I am really fired up now! And the idea just popped in my head. We all have talent and creativity why not put it all together and build something we could all be proud of. I like Claytons idea of free advertisement. People will see this car and will instantly know that this is the club to be a part of. So let's start this project! I hope I can fire you guys up too!!!
