The cars on either side had just split apart, and the silver 944 shot through. The location is right at the entrance to Turn 10B. I should add that they all made it through cleanly. Yea, incredible Pass!! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58657-2018-grassroots-motorsports-mitty/?&page=7#findComment-548469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent the weekend at the Mitty. Great weather, Great cars, just an overall great time. I too was hoping to see the #3 car (Blue BRE 240Z). I was looking. Last saw this car at Elkhart Lake (Road America) about 10 years ago at the Brian Redman Vintage weekend. Was a beauty then (and FAST) hope it still is. I believe it was owned by Gerry Mason at that time. If anyone has information about that car it would be nice to know.

It always looked like you were going to end up in the gravel. I agree, you were catching the 17 car every lap. I think with time you could have run him down. Seems like Sam built a nice car. Charles Hi Charles, Thanks a lot. That's one of the keys to a fast lap there, and a good passing zone. See you next time.

May 18, 20186 yr comment_549468 Andy Doll and I are members of ZROC. Central Ohio. Andy built a beautiful car over the past two years. Tough to end up in the tires when they worked all day Thursday to get it running with clutch issues. Mine #50 is an ITS car. Very stock. We are refining it? John Morton came by to sign Andy's door.?

I got plenty of photos of the two of you on the track. I felt bad for Andy when I saw the right side had been severely pancaked. I'll eventually get links up to the photos.

May 18, 20186 yr comment_549481 Thanks, like to have photos. PS I’m the guy who traveled from The Republic of Korea in 1970 to watch the “RRofChampions. Saw John Morton and BRE win in that beautiful 240Z. Came home in May 1971, ordered our Z, it has 87,000 miles. And, in 2018 got to race against John at Road Atlanta in my other 240Z. ? What a great weekend. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58657-2018-grassroots-motorsports-mitty/?&page=7#findComment-549481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
