May 2, 200717 yr Author comment_208112 Yea it was an RX7. Greg was there and the RX7 tries to block. Greg even backed off and the RX7 spins.

May 4, 200717 yr comment_208380 Interesting to contrast this to John Wilkins in his C Production 240Z. He is so fast that the VSCCA put him in with the Big Bore cars. This was filmed at Laguna Seca and unfortunately John lost his transmission in rather spectacular fashion. 4th and 5th engaged simultaniously. 5th gear exited the back of his transmission....http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-636869748688606405You will see Aanand his his Z behind John. It is interesting to see the differences in driving style. The Mustang John is trying to catch is anything but a true vintage car.It would be interesting to see east vs west Datsun racing....

May 5, 200717 yr comment_208520 It's a vintage legal 2.4 bored 40 over with Mikuni's, and it is FAST.John is no slouch behind the wheel either, turning some fast times in that little 240Z of his.
