I don't think there was a single 280ZX in the whole group...or early 300ZX?

I'm the purple monster at 2.10. Didn't make it for the second lap.

It was fun though, We broke down together, waited out 1 lap, getting a few 1 finger peace signs from passers by in red 64's, then hopped back in and finished the last lap. George had 2 throttle settings, idle and wide open It was fun following him, got a few raised eyebrows from the local police and I got 5 extra horsepower just from the extra fuel coming out his exhaust!. George's wife commented we were the 2 happiest drivers pulling into the park, because we weren't 100% sure we were going to finish.

Awesome video and it must have been great driving with everyone.
Question, at :43, there is a silver Roadster with a front spoiler. Does anyone know what it is and where I can get one!? I love the look.

Personally I like the last car. I think the driver of that one is the best looking guys in the bunch. It also looks like the spoiler Dad got from CDM a few years ago

The spoiler from DatsunParts doesn't go full width from the pictures on his site. I like the wider one better.

Didn't notice that, it does look a bit narrower than it should.
Brilliant, take one of the only Datsuns with 4 wheel drums and 3 passengers and put that last in line, after a fast lap, down a 1 mile hill into a sharp S with a bunch of people standing in the street
Next year, we run with scissors!!

Mark says in his most manly voice...
Too bad no one got video of Mark yelling "DRUM BRAKES!" a few years ago and having all of the roadsters ahead of him parting like the red sea...
