Any Racers recognize this 240-Z?

Yeah, that's Coop's old car. It went end-over-end 6 times at Sears Point then burned. He sold it to Mark who put it hard into the pit wall at Thunderhill when they ran an event backwards. He ended up cutting the car in half and welding on a new front. Mark sold it to Tom K who used it as a circle track/demolition derby car for 3 years. Looks a lot nicer then the last time I saw it...

Just kidding... :P

Looks like it was run at Laguna Seca. That tailpipe is designed to exit the exhaust away from where the sound measuring station is. LS has very strict sound requirements. Also Dando's is in the San Jose area, which is fairly close to LS.

I wish I could laugh but that seems to be the gist of the story behind the two Zs I bought before owning my present car. I never got the real story until the ink started drying on the title...just like a swift kick in the...!!!

I've just died laughing and hey ..... I only rolled three times - Doh!

Actually, that is Bruce Frederick's car that I used to race against. It was always nicely prepared and had no problems that I can recall. It had a chrome-molly cage if I remember right. I offered to buy it at one time but it had already been sold.
