They were indeed having clutch problems, had to keep starting the car by cranking it in gear until it rolled into life. Still my favorite car of the whole event!

You are correct! Very excellent drivers in the family of Dennis Motorsports, but the car itself didn't have terribly good tires and they were looking for a good time as opposed to fast times for the weekend!

You already know the answer to that question, you're just looking to fight. I don't know the man personally, so I cannot tell you myself that he's some sort of amazing driver. However, based on what some others are saying about him here and on other sites, it sounds like he frequents the track and is actually a pretty…

Not being an average American driver does not mean he has to be a professional race car driver. Not being an average American driver means he wasn't tailgating the car in front of him for no good reason, swerving around violently until accidentally breaking the rear end loose, locking up the brakes out of panic and…

You're entitled to your opinion. I'll be sure to be more outwardly hateful toward all of the "safe and law-abiding" drivers I see out on the road every day, driving with their favorite combination of aggression and ineptitude. I find the average American driver to be exponentially more dangerous than this man.

I agree, and I like to point out again that the guy is likely in more confident control of his vehicle than anybody else that drove past the news reporter. People getting up-in-arms about the 240SX driver are either hypocrites, or the sort of people that always reminded the teacher to hand out the homework.

The ironic thing is that the 240SX driver was likely in more confident control of his vehicle than anybody else that drove past that news reporter.

Soon!

Sadly that information is long-gone. It was ten years ago and he wasn't looking to sell, so I didn't think to hold onto any contact info.

Sadly his contact info is long gone, that photo and story is from 2004 or 2005. He wasn't looking to sell the car then, that's all I know.

Sadly, he wasn't selling. Similar situation I mentioned above, "going to fix it up someday."

Some guy in NJ, honestly I can't even remember the town! It's crazy when I realize that these pictures and story are from ten years ago.

The 360 or the Superbird? Either way, I don't have a good answer!

I wish I could have! This was back in 2004 or 2005, we were actually down there to rescue another one of his cars. A Subaru 360 with only the 16.4 Delivery Miles on the clock. One of the many 360s that remained unsold in the US market, and one of the few that didn't end up scrapped or turned into one of one of Malcolm…

You're correct in that regard! I actually meant to add that I'd consider my above idea a "best-case scenario" for the third car's whereabouts.

It will be interesting to see when / if the third one will surface. Unlikely considering the car's significance and rarity, but perhaps it's similar to the last Superbird I saw in person; in a barn somewhere underneath a pile of boxes and household junk, an owner with no idea of what he has, still "planning to fix it…

I absolutely agree with you, but I would also suggest the higher number of European Rally / F1 drivers has to do with those two motorsports being far more popular across the pond than they are here in the USA. As a lifelong Stage Rally fan, I wish that were not the case.

No you wouldn't.

I enjoy the passive-aggressive response under an article about passive-aggressive behavior!

Considering how highly sought-after these original split-window Type 2s are now, it's amazing to remember that at one point they were considered nothing but a workhorse to use and throw away. I'm sure there's at least a few people who've been around long enough to be kicking themselves for scrapping their Bus or…
