Project240z 10 Years Later
Relive the unfortunate autocross run of the classic 240z at Gateway Motorsports Park ten years ago. The blog post unfolds the dramatic event.
Ten years ago today, the 240z took its first, and last, autocross run at Gateway Motorsports Park, in Illinois.
The poor car didn’t even get to finish it’s first run, blowing a hole in the block before making it across the finish line.
Lesson learned from the day: Don’t get anxious and compete in a car before it is complete. I hadn’t tuned the car properly, and likely ran it to lean (also didn’t record any of the data, yet again, too anxious).
