Call Mike Daddario at Infineon. He can be reached at 707.484.3473 and will take care of you.

Discounted tickets are not available at the gate but you can purchase regular priced tickets and still gain access to the Turn Z corral.

[Alvin]

Tickets will be waiting at will call, just bring copy of receipt to be safe.. You can buy at door but a little more expensive, and can not get the lap ticket for the track.

What a beautiful day to be at the track!
Big thanks to ZONC and MotoringJStyle for putting on a great "Turn Z" event
Big thanks to Dan and Hannah Philbin for an absolutely killer parking corral for the Datsuns

We left ZCarGarage with 8 cars, when we arrived at will call several roadsters also showed up and we made our way to Turn 7"

our 67.5 SPL

David Premo's 67.5 SRL

Dandridge's '68 SPL

And Eric's '69 SPL

The 4 of us were actually escorted to turnZ by an Infineon ring taxi, felt like we were in a pageant
We were treated to paved parking lot, with a superb view of the track.

I counted 40+ cars towards the end of the day, great turnout!
Eddie Wu also showed up with his '66 SPL/SR20:

And of course Dan Philbin's pretty 67.5 SRL:

There were 2 red roadsters, sorry I didn't get your names:



There were a few 510s and a bunch of 240z cars, including my friend Lou's RHD 240z with new custom offset Panasports and 255 tires!


We walked through the paddock to see all of the machines, and caught a few races with John Morton behind the wheel of scarab and Sunbeam Tiger

We left early and missed the parade lap so please tell me how it went!

Holy crap that was fun. 3 or 4 parade laps at the end was the icing on the cake.

I want to second Alvin's thanks to ZONC and to David Swig of Motoring J Style. I also want to thank Alvin for his help in spreading the word.

Thanks to everyone who came out. It was a great first annual event. I heard there were 50 cars at the peak.

The track is really excited about this new addition to the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival and is looking forward to making next year bigger and better. With more advanced notice and support next years event should be amazing.

The parade laps were great and there was a very strong Datsun showing.

Awesome time out at the racetrack with such a beautiful Northern California day! The cars in the paddock were amazing vehicles!

Looking forward to this in 2011.

Did anyone catch who won prizes? The way Eddie kept having to wipe people's drool off his car I figured he got something.

I got there a bit late as I was down in Marina racing the Alfa with the NorCal UFO guys (trying to defend my last years season championship) The sun wasn't co-operating like it could have had I been there 4 hours earlier. Sorry about the underexposed shots. I haven't had a chance to go back and fix them.























This set was shot from the passenger seat of Dandridge's roadster. We did 4 parade laps that offered some rare photo opps. For the most part they were pretty good considering I was seatbelted in and turning around while shooting.








For next year lets make this bigger and better.

Great addition of more pics!!
Thanks, looks like a really great event.

[Alvin]

great parade lap shots!
look forward to next years in event and I agree more advance notice/word of mouth will definitely increase participation

Any chance of having a 2.5 challenge race or something where VARA/Historic Datsuns can race?
