I have had my vehicle preliminarily accepted in a classification to be known as "240Z Classic". As this is a Marque based event it would be good to get a few other street racers with Zeds in there as well, any takers? I have not registered yet but will be doing so and it would be good to have some Zed company! Slip the organiser an email, he seems prepared to accept a few pre '79 Jappers in amongst the Euros. $150 per entry.
