bump...happening this weekend.

Bummer I missed you guys, I got into Chicago yesterday and will be here till tomarrow.

Indy Z Car Club represented well. We walked away with 7 trophies for 7 cars entered in the show portion. Also had best attendance for any traveling club. Four of the cars also run with MWSCC, so we represented MWSCC well.

IZCC Cars taking trophies:
- 240Z Hybrid with LS1 swap - modifed
- 280Z - daily driver (MWSCC)
- 280ZX stock (MWSCC)
- 280ZXT modified (MWSCC)
- 300ZXTT daily driver (MWSCC)
- 350Z stock
- 350Z Vert stock
(Classes: Daily Driver / Stock / Modifed)
Pics of these cars are below.


We had a number of cars that had to drop out of the trip at the last minute due to family reasons. If they had made it, we would have seriously cleaned house. We are waiting for final judgement on whether we won the very coveted Traveling Trophy! All the initial numbers point to Yes, so stay tuned.

We got to run touring laps on the South Track at the Autobahn. Weather was pretty good, warm and humid, with rain happening during the last 5 minutes of the show on Saturday.

Kudos to Windy City Z and ChicagoZ for putting on a great show.

If we did win the Traveling Trophy, look for this event to move back to Indy for 2009!

orange

Your car lookin good as ever. Congrats on the Hoosier sweep.

You sell any lowered seat mount brackets at the show?

Nice representing I like the 350Z convertible. Is it dark blue or black? It almost looks blue but it could just be the lighting. Either way it looks great

It's a dark blue, and absolutely gorgeous!!

But I'd grab the Brickyard 350Z in a heart beat

Dan, you like the looks of the orange 1st gen; you should hear the motor when he crancks it up.

Go go "Members Only", scroll down about 12 posts to "Car Fund for Webby" and then look for Post #198.

It's pretty awesome what he did with that motor.

The Blue 350Z Vert replaces their older LeMans Sunset 350Z Vert that was totaled in Brown County last year when they were run off Hwy 135 by an ambulance that came around a blind turn in their lane. They rolled the vert and came away with some bad injuries but alive. Great couple that does not drive like fiends. Lots of witnesses where there for that one.

The 2003 Brickyard 350Z was purchased the day before the show in Chicago. Rare color. Not a speck of dust anywhere on the car, as if it was driven off the showrrom floor in 2003. They also have a 93 300ZX Vert that was sitting back in Indy with brake issues. Talk about an impulse buy! Something SMS would understand.

The Orange 240Z with the LS1 swap and 6-speed manual would be a good one to run the Diablo against...once he stops breaking u-joints.

Doug on here was supposed to be there with hs Red 300ZXTT, but had to back out at the last minute to be a responsible dad. He'd have walked away with a trophy if he had made it.

I didn't sell any lowered seat brackets, but it was definitely discussed.
