Great Shots, thanks for these Ted.
I can't help but notice in the 3rd picture, there is a '66 Impala Convertible - in the same color combo as mine.
Not sure why that is at a Datsun event, but still neat to see.
Looks like a great event and the weather looked amazing as well.

The Datsun Matsuri show was held with the Knox Mountain Hill Climb car show.
Nice variety of all types of those strange Canadian vehicles.

The Cute Kid is my 15 month old Nephew Ryder... He thought the roadster was pretty cool. Kid has excellent taste.

Nice Work Ted!

I believe there was an open car show with the hill climb event.

Registration, the meet and greet, the show, the awards presentation, THE HOSPITALITY, the weather, the fun run,,all perfectly presented, managed, and executed,,,,,WELL DONE Datsun Dave, well done. A great weekend, see you next year!!

Well, I FINALLY have gotten around to doing a summary of the event and posted it here: http://wp.me/p2etBx-rU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I've linked from the post to some additional photos which is what you all want to see anyway.

Thanks to everyone who made it out. Plans for 2013 are already in the works!
