The Resource For All Things Datsun Roadster S211/SPL212/310/311 Datsun Sports Roadster 1959-April 1970 circa 40,000 produced https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/
It's been awhile since I've posted here. I usually put updates on Facebook but I know some here don't do the FB thing. I built a new engine for the 1967 2000 race car this fall and took it to the Glen on September 5-8 and VIR last weekend to race with SVRA. It is hard to believe but it's been almost 5 years since I raced the roadster. We made the Group 3 podium both days at both events so the old roadster is still hanging in there. I was the only roadster racing at the Glen but we had 3 Datsun 2000s racing at VIR last weekend which was pretty cool. Tom Phelan, Charles Kates, Jr. and myself were all racing in Group 3. Thanks to Ellen for helping with so much as always and to Ron Freudenheim for photos at the Glen. I will try to post some photos and a link to some in car video from the Sunday race at VIR:

Great video. VIR is home track for me. Started going there when the Oak tree was a sapling. Now it is gone.
Hope to see you guys this summer sometime if it all comes back.
). Sunny side up!
