After a long hiatus we were able to bring out our Super Modified Class 350z.  As our most popular competion vehicle, the 350z did not dissappoint.  Running strong after the motor was rebuilt, Mike Cronin Jr. was able to crush his previous best time by two full seconds resulting in a 1st place finish in the Super Modified Class.
