Hope everyone had a great July 4! It is great to see Datsun owners taking their cars out to shows and driving events. It is even better when you can be part of getting these cars back on the road so they can be driven 🙂 ZCarGarage restored this pretty 240z several years ago and the owner was kind enough to send this update. Congrats Andru!
Hello Rob,
This is Andru Peters from Lake City, MN (formerly of San Jose) whose 240Z
you restored back in 2003. I entered into a car show over the holidays and
took 2nd place in the class I entered in. Have attached a photo, trophy and
yours truly.
Dual at DeAnza annual autox
The 43rd annual Dual at DeAnza autox was held May 16th, 2010, at DeAnza college in Cupertino, CA. The Smitty Racing / Z Car Garage 350Z took 1st in the OSP class out of 13 cars, and 16th overall out of 242 cars. The 2003 Nissan 350Z was driven by Scott Smith. Complete results are posted here: Duel at DeAnza May16 Results 2010
NorCal UFO autox
Scott drove the Z to 1st in the OSP class and 4th overall out of 156 cars at the Northern California United 510 Owners Club (www.norcalufo.org) autocross held at The Marina Airfield on June 27th, 2010. Scott leads the OSP class for the year, and is currently in 3rd in PAX out of all the cars that routinely show up for the NorCal UFO autox series.
More and more Zs and Gs are showing up! Most recently, Tiffini Clark, the ZONC President, autox’d at this month’s event for her first time with Scott providing instruction. Tiffini piloted her 2006 350Z and dropped over 16s from her first run to her fourth and final run – way to go Tiffini!
The next NorCal UFO event at The Marina Airfield will be held on August 1st, 2010. We are trying to organize this event to include any ZoNC member that is interested in driving. Those interested can meet at Z Car Garage between 6:20 and 6:30 for a 6:30am departure, or meet us at The Marina Airfield by 8am. Entry details are here: NorCal UFO AutoX Event9 August 1
