Highlights of the Touring 2 SCCA National at Lime Rock - August 1, 2009. The Mitsubishi EVO starts on the pole with Brian Kleeman in the 350Z (camera car) on the outside. David Brand in a Supercharged Lotus Elise chases from behind.

Notice the motor in the 350Z starts dying by Lap 3.

The race is stopped and ends under a red-flag when Ken Payson's Spec Miata hits the spun-out Lotus head on. David Brand was treated and released that same day; as of Monday, Ken remains in the hospital. A full recovery is expected, but thoughts and prayers nonetheless.

@ArthursWRX8U Exhaust is a single straight pipe - no muffler, cats removed. It was LOUD.

Amazing skill showed by the z driver with his drafting. Ego driver was great also.

I love how people think that AWD cars are so much faster than everyone else in the corners.

I would love to know the mod list for this 350z, it doesn't sound boosted but it pulls hard I plan on getting 1 this spring and I would love to keep it all motor if it pulls like this the suspension seemed perfect and great driving from Brian very well done

I'm also wondering about your build. Particularly suspension setup and tire choice. Thanks.

Don't play follow the leader thru the corner..take your own line also ... he was braking very early.....also turn the wheel and hold it don't be sawing on it... also be either on or off the gas not on off on off thru the corners Good job tho
