Z Owners of Northern California(ZONC) will be hosting a Datsun/Nissan car corral at the Historic races August 13-15 at Laguna Seca. This is a very special event with several Datsuns competing and the legendary John Morton will be driving the BRE 510! The last time Morton drove 'Seca in this car was back in 2001 where he impressed crowds by winning a car-to-car battle with an Alfa. If you missed Morton pilot the famous Corkscrew back then here is your second chance!
Don't miss this event and bring your Datsun/Nissan to the corral to show some support!
Car Corral passes are included with admission through ZONC, ticket purchasing info is here:

The roadster showing was a bit on the lacking side. I didn't see a single one.

On the other hand I did see some pretty cool Zs and a 510 or two.

Here are a few shots from Saturday.














It was a low pic day. I wish I had been up at the corkscrew to see the 2.5L Challenge race. Oh well, next year.

A few things to report on:
-Lots of 510s in the challenge race. The BRE 510 (#46) driven by Morton didn't do that well at all. Talking to Les we heard it was actually down ~20hp then it should have been. Mark's 510(dyno'd at 185rwhp at ZCarGarage last week) put up a great fight with the Alfas and BMWs. The 2002 won though
-Ron Carter is my hero
-John Morton also drove a scarab and had a terrible crash in Turn 2 that sent him to the hospital, though he made it through relatively unharmed. Full story here:

Thanks for the pics Will, and the added detail Alvin!

Another reason the 2002s took off is that they were running grooved Hoosier R6s, and had the internals of a M3 engine in at least one of them (What I heard from someone at least. I saw the R6s on the cars however.) The rest of the field were running Hoosier Street TDs, a big difference.
