Tom Kotzian was just hanging around at the PCA AX yesterday....
a waste of perfectly good talent, I figured. That damn 240Z showed up to give us'n a thrashing, so WTF...."Hay Tom, wanna drive the shitbox?" Whall sure, says he. He got to the Z car by .3... hee,hee. Brit, Chuck & I (in that order) were all back bout a second & a half. The good news is the shitbox has it's handle back. Fun to drive again.
Unfortunately Tom had the most fun but it was worth hearing the the Z car's driver (a hell of a nice guy that wouldn't say shit if he had a mouthfull) "Ya son of a.....biscut" laugh.gif

Smart JP.
Glad to hear your back into racing!
Hey JP, since you built the shitbox, you can take credit for the constructors championship can't you?
Glad to hear you guys did great. I like the multiple driver setup...keeps the tires warm....probably not so good for tire longevity though....

Tom ran the car in the first run group with no tire warmer on a cold track.
God knows what he woulda done when things warmed up.
Randle:
I was into racin' all along....the shitbox wasn't. Did some "stuff" to make it go again.
Even Brit was happy with it.....
Tom ran one pass at the Parade & looped it twice in that one run....felt kinda bad bout that. The fucker was undrivable....except slowly like I do.

The Z must be far from stock to compete with your machine.

It's a legal SCCA F Prepared car. He's got about 80 hp on me...but I "might"
be lighter
The owner has been building & driving the thing for bout 20 years and it shows.

Pretty cool.
We got a hot shot Z guy in our region who I go head to head with at each event. He has power and tire budget...I don't.

I had a little more power and tire than you and just barely beat him. He wants a 914-6 for AXing.
John MaCuskey's 240Z.
Right around 2000 lbs & 300 hp.
He tells me his engine builder says that now days he can get 350 hp outta the motor.

I can tell you from experience that 300HP helps to make up for a missed apex occassionally....

The only time he looks a bit distressed is when he's warming up the tiars (a set of yours, Bill)....unlike myself.....in constant distress.
