The order is as follows;

On Friday I entered my car in the "Knapp Vinyards" sporting roadster run. We drove approx 120 miles thru the finger lake wine region and ended up at the Knapp vinyard for lunch . Afternoon was more driving , with 2 laps around the old ( 1948-1952) Grand Prix street course.

Saturday moring at Watkins Glen state park for the all Datsun show and shine. It was overcast since it had poured overninght but no rain.

Saturday afternoon at the track for a car show and 2 parade laps around the current Watkins Glen track .

Saturday night at Hazlet Vinyard for the annual show & shine awards and raffel.

All in we had about 25 roadsters for the weekend

Enjoy

My favorite is this shot, just a little bit of flash, at twilight, tops down.

Tells me all about summer, when the days are long and the weather is warm.

Nice !!

...and most of 'em '69's. Must've been a good year for roadsters on the East Coast.

Nice pics.

The second-best favorite for me is this one.

Wow. The smile, the tops down, the shaky shot all tell me these folks are having FUN.

Nice pics.
3 less years of rusting vs a 66. Wait a few years, all of them will be 70's.

My Wife Linda took the shakey shot of Joe and Sue. It's one of my favorites too. We were probably doing 35-40 MPH on a rough dirt road, I'm amazes it's as clear as it is.
