conedodger Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share #577 Posted September 28, 2013 Paul says it was a parade lap/photo op at a Datsun get-together. He's 74 and details are fuzzy but he'll get back to me when he figures it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted September 28, 2013 Share #578 Posted September 28, 2013 Not technically an old racing photo, but its full of old racers... Last weekend at Road America SCCA run-offs with John Morton and the Bonk Brothers replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Beck Posted September 30, 2013 Share #581 Posted September 30, 2013 Realy Great to see the history of your Z documented so well. My first 240Z was purchased from Paul in Spokane, March 14th 1970. HLS30 01777. I've been driving 240Z's ever since - and Paul and I are still friends to this day. Mark is a fantastic Driver! {must run in the family}.FWIW,Carl B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop Posted September 30, 2013 Share #582 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) My buddy from Great Falls MT used to race against this Jaremko car around 1980. Jerry was an exceptional driver and he would show up from nowhere and beat this car in his Z but not always as it was a very close match. Jerry said that the Jaremko car was very fast and equipped with cooling fans on the rear brakes but after the stewards got wind of it, the fans went away. Folks would try just about anything to keep the Zs brakes cool. Nothing has changed in that area.I still have an old pic of this car slashing through the esses at Seattle back in the day. Fun to watch. Edited September 30, 2013 by coop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datjake Posted September 30, 2013 Share #583 Posted September 30, 2013 I would love to get my hands on a copy of any pics anyone might have of this car. It is crazy all the stories myths and legends surrounding this car. In reality the car was protested at least three times and torn down.... Each time the car was found totally legal, one mechanic who torn it down called it 'sub legal' and said there were several areas in which the car did not exploit the rules to the fullest. (I wish it really was the car that was so good and not just the fact that good drivers drove it.... I would do better I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share #584 Posted October 4, 2013 Well, let's see, the Vette is toast for the 510 in corners. Especially tight ones. The Spyder has swing arm suspension so he's just out there having fun and staying out of the way. The 914 might be tough to catch if it's a six because it will have both power and handling... Looks like a fun day for the 510! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
