So you want to race your Z? Here's a compilation of a lot of IMSA action during the 1980s, some involving Z cars. I saw some familiar numbers flying past amid the debris. See how many cars are familiar to you.

(PS ~ it's amaZing to me that those high-winged oval track SPRINT racers don't decapitate more people than they do :shock:)

(Turn the stupid music off and you'll enjoy this clip more).

I'm tellin' ya, people just don't "git it."

Time and time again, out on the highways, I see people testing out my
theorem to see if it works. Now I see they also test it on the racetrack.
They test it at all different speeds, and at all kinds of entry angles........

TWO CARS CANNOT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE AT THE SAME TIME!

FWIW,...............~Rick~
BTW I did spot a nice yellow 240 diving into a big puddle. I also saw an
imposter, a red #33 car; "it sure didn't look like no Bob Sharp Z to me!"

Did you notice how many of the cars losing traction and going off course or crashing were GM products? Hmmm...
If you don't know it , I'm not at all happy about Government Motors and the lies they are spreading about paying our hard earned tax dollars back.

And here's a pair of GT/S NISSANs getting together at more than 140mph at The Glen:

Steve Millen and Johnny O'Connell take a chunk out of their team's cashbox by swapping parts btwn the two lead NISSAN cars.

Testament to well welded roll cages!

Surprised the driver of the #1 car let it roll back into traffic.

Thanks for sharing Frank!
