    Nice, so you plan on running Spec E30? I've been looking into an E30 spec car for quite awhile. Just can’t afford to do everything i want lol...plus the GF would murder me in my sleep. I've just got to find another platform for a "more fun to drive" car...and a little extra power wouldn’t hurt either. I’ve been Very into Solo I/II events for awhile due to only "privateer funding" and non-competitive platform lol, But I’ve done a few HPDE's/ Open ITA events, mostly at Roebling.

    So did you move out here recently? I work for G-force Racing Gear Here. Wish we were better geared towards actually racing and had possibilities of employee sponsorship lol ...we have 20-30 Historic and a couple (closer to) present Day racecars here in the warehouses that just collect dust....makes me sad

    They sure do, after a good spin on track lol

    Yes ...got a couple Triad Datsun 240/280's I’d give my left nut to track. But the owner decided he was going to Start Collecting for Historic race/street car Museum. We have ~60-70 cars (most are old Muscle cars) just sitting around here and more at his personal Garage, and get a few more every month. The warehouse guys are lucky enough to have the job of starting and running the cars (not driving) every week!! When the Drag cars start up the whole warehouse shakes lol. Especially the Bob Glidden Probe we have. 1400hp all aluminum 427 to open headers right next to the office entrance . It’s a shame they don’t get used for what they were originally intended, but I can see why he would keep them off track and safe for their obvious value. He does However have a 600+bhp Porsche 924s that is being built in Indiana right now that he has somewhat plans to make trackable (wont hold my breath though). He is building it as a Leman’s replica/street car/weekend toy…..I only wish I had the funding he has

    Lol, that would be a cool idea given your talent. I'll Have to ask him when he's around next. He's got some normal street cars that will blow your mind. Like a 70' 440-6pack 'Cuda 4 speed in Pink Panther color that has 321 miles on the original clock!!! even more impressive (but on a much less cool car) a 78 ( i believe) Trans-Am that was never Officially Sold and have less then 20 miles on it. Still has all the original plastic covers on the interior pieces as well as the window sticker and dealer plate

    I swear i saw that on eBay or somewhere once can't be too many like it?!

    I'm mainly interested in the 240/280's and any sportscar of that era but wouldn't mind shooting a couple muscle cars either. Just show him this one of Jay's 2002 (The site is bland with very little info)
