1/43 240Z BRE Model

Won this replica 1/43 BRE 240Z by Delprado on Ebay. Model is well done and comes with neat illustrated book on the BRE 240Z. Only problem is it is in Japanese. My son checked their website out and it says they are out of business. Might become rare.

Local Performance/safety Driving school

Has anybody ever heard of a performance or safety driving school that's given locally in their area? I mean like for the ordinary driver, not somebody that wants to race, like the Bondurant school). Who would be doing that kind of stuff, Insurance companies? I think I once saw a TV commercial for an insurance company showing a teen driver/student doing somethingh like that. I think it would be a good thing for everybody to go to, especially when you move to an area with difference weather (like a Floridian moving to Ohio or Maine), or just to give yourself a refresher for your reflexes, physically & mentally. thx.

Has anyone seen this bit of information at Classic Datsun Motorsports? Apparently they did a replica restoration so they could put it in the museum. Check out the whole story: http://www.classicdatsun.com/zz/TheBondurant240Z.htm Kudos to the boys at Classic Datsun!! Nice job. (I do realize it was completed in 1999. I just found it on their web site...

Datsun 280Z wins Group 5 at Maine Forest Rally

Rally Fans, I just got back from the Maine Forest Rally (Aug 29-30). I posted some pictures in the empty 5005 event folder. Greg Healy of Saugerties, NY and Co-Driver John McLeod of Quincy, MA won Group 5 on the debut rally of their 1987 280Z. They outlasted the other group 5 entry for the win. The car is described as mostly stock except for reinforcments and safety gear. The car was so recently prepared that it ran in primer paint. Also new to the series is the recently finished 1970 Datsun 510 of Dan Cooke / Bill Rhodes. The 510 is running an L20B at 2340cc with 44mm Mikunis.

Indy 500 Not Won By Danica Patrick! 1 2 3 4 8

1) Danica Patrick, star driver (and apparently the only driver) in the Danica Racing League, did not win today's Danica 500. Hence, Danica's face will not be on the Borg Danica Warner trophy, much to the chagrin of the broadcasting crew at ABC Danica Sports. However, Danica's face will continue to be on the front Danica page of every Danica sports section in the United States of Danica for the next 83 years. I forget who won the race, but it was some guy who's name wasn't Danica Patrick. The crowd was shocked to find that such a person had shown up. 2) Frenchman Sebastian Bourdais drove brilliantly, advancing from 15th to 5th and positioning himself for a top finish. He w…

Looking for Weber parts

I've gained a lot of valuable info on tuning my Webers from this site, now I need parts! Before I go out and spend a bunch of money on new jets (which I'm not opposed to doing) I was wondering if any of the ex-Weber gurus out there have any jets/chokes/etc sitting around collecting dust. I'd be willing to take them off of your hands for a fair price. Thanks! Just trying to keep up with that tholt29 fella! Heheh. -Rick http://www.io.com/~rickm/fp280z http://www.io.com/~rickm/fp280z/new
