Everything has been finalized, however I am sure more things will be added as we move forward.

Pulling ALL Datsuns 1983 and older together for a great time, Raffles, Awards, T-Shirts and Dash Plaques, all taking place in beautifil Williams, AZ the Gateway to the Grand Canyon.

Williams is located to attrack Datsuns from six states, the distance from Los Angeles, CA to Williams, AZ is less then two round trips to Solvang. October is the beginning of the cooling down period for Williams, many businesses start to shut down for the winter toward the end of October, and the temperature is expected to be nice and comfortable the first part of the month. Making it a really nice drive on the Historic Route 66.

This meet will start at 10:00am at the Dairy Queen located at the West end of town at 603 W Route 66, Williams, AZ 86046 - at 3:00pm we travel to the East end of town to Pete’s Route 66 Gas Station Museum, at 101 East Route 66, Williams, AZ 86046.

Williams is known as the gateway to the Grand Canyon, great place for a vacation, the widest part of the Grand Canyon is up the highway from where we will be. Not to mention all the Datsuns that will be around...

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this event. This will be the first event my roadster will see since being parked in 1979. Ane I've never been to the grand canyon, so it should be great all the way around.

Who else is driving from the socal area?

Looking forward to a long drive with the family. Two roadsters fits a family of four perfectly.

Number 34 just registered! I would love to see this hit 50 before the registration deadline Sept 29! Come on, you now you want to sign up, stop thinking about it and register, this is the very first Datsun Classic Arizona has had. Lets make it a good size one. Be one of the ones next year that can say "I have been to everyone of these".

So not only register, but you could fly in, enjoy the tour, and drive this baby home! (I am really tempted, Briscoooooo!)
You'd be in the company of some of the best Datsun mechanics in the area, just have to get unusual tools thru airport check-in. (No officer, that isn't an electrode shock device, that is a timing light)

Try getting on a plane with 2 distributors and 45 sets of spark plug wires in your luggage!
