ZONC Members:
This is your chance to drive your car in a spirited fashion in a controlled, safe, environment. Join me, NorCal UFO, ZoNC members, and other Datsun/Nissan enthusiasts at the 9th NorCal UFO autox of the year at Marina airport Sunday, August 1.
For full event details including a map, just click below: ZoNC Members Autox

I will be running in group 2 since I’m in the “OSP” class, then working group four. It would be best to simply plan on meeting up in the morning either in San Jose or at Marina Airport itself. There is a mandatory driver’s meeting at approximately 8:30, and the first car goes out at about 9am. I suggest showing up at 7:30am for registration and to walk the course. The cost is $35/driver or $60/couple, and you must bring your driver’s license. Minors with a permit may drive with parental consent. If you show up to drive you MUST work for a session as well! All the scheduling is handled at the registration desk upon your arrival.
We’ll likely drive another ZoNC event later in the year as well, so stay tuned!
Hope to Z ya out there!

Road & Track magazine will feature a track test of the BRE 240z and BRE 370z tribute cars in their upcoming September issue. A video preview of the action is below and it is thrilling to watch! The BRE 240z replica belongs to Datsun fanatic Ron Carter and he deserves a big pat on the back for keeping Datsun racing alive.
We look forward to the magazine article. It’s a great day for Datsuns 🙂
ZCarGarage is performing their first Stillen Supercharger installation for the 370Z. You might recognize this sharp Z from its great power gains with the Stillen exhaust system and Berk high-flow catalytic converters. It also received several suspension and cosmetic upgrades since last year.
Here are a few pics of the supercharger kit, note how the dual throttle-bodies are oriented compared to the stock location:
Keep an eye on the blog for more install updates and you can count on some dyno action too as this boosted 370 makes some serious power!
Ron Carter is no stranger to Datsuns. He owns a 1967.5 2000 Roadster, a BRE 240z tribute car, and is currently restoring a 510 B Sedan. We have bumped into him at various car shows and racing events and besides being a Datsun fan he’s just plain down to earth. Ron has been actively racing his ‘67.5 roadster with various vintage racing groups. You can follow the action on his blog filled with videos and full race reports. Check it out!
