knox mountain hill climb (56k, don't bother)

Well yesterday i decided to head down to the knox mountain hill climb.. just a small fairly local racing event with a couple big name sponsors..

anyway, the objective is.. well get to the top of the hill the fastest... there's about 4 or 5 different classes of cars that all take 4 runs up the hill... there's some pretty impressive cars that come out. there's also a show section where there were some pretty nice cars.

alright we'll start off with one of the mini indi cars.. engine out of a vw bug, turbocharged... boosting AT IDLE oh yeah

in the background there was an evo 8, but my camera ran out of memory :(

aaaand that's about it.. i got a couple of launch vids, but nothing worthy of taking time to find a host site. it rained pretty hard once or twice, but overall it was a sweet day.. and only one rollover!

NICE...that race ready 240Z at the end is sweet...

yah that 240Z does look freakin sweet ...

yea i like that 240z but too bad they didnt have any 300s

is that?? it is!! 86 zx!!! nice!! turbo!! nice!! lol

that sure looks like a 300zx to me..

...... im sure its a 300.. where are bucket headlights?.. that back quarter window and taillights should give it away as well... unless i've gone crazy..?

bucket headlights?

ahh well... itd either be a 300 or 280.. and all the 280's have distinct bucket shaped headlights... well thats what i call em anyway. =P
