Datsun Fun Run Pictures…6/9/13

On Sunday I joined a group of Datsun roadster owners for a nice morning drive up to Mt. Hamilton and down to Livermore. We had a very diverse gathering of cars with Mike’s 67.5 SPL, Ken’s KA24-powered ’69 SRL, Dave The Car Guy’s ’68 SRL, Eddie’s SR20-powered ’66 SPL, and the boosted Box Flare 510.

 

We met at the Alum Rock Road/130 junction ~8am and headed up to Mt. Hamilton. This section of road was super curvy with blind corners, endless switchbacks and the occasional cyclist. Here is a short clip from inside the 510 to give you an idea:

We reached Lick Observatory at ~9am for a break and to admire the view. Looking down at the Bay Area one can also appreciate the “Race Track” that HWY 130 provides:

The descent down 130 into the valley offers an entirely different driving and scenic experience. Long, fast sweepers with off-camber turns combined with out-of-state landscape surroundings makes us long for another visit! Here is another video from inside the 510:

GT-R Attacks Seca!

Shop friend and Nissan enthusiast Walt P is still attacking road courses in his 2012 GT-R. Walt recently completed his first race with Checkered Flag Racing Association(CFRA) at Laguna Seca running in their GT-1 class. Walt had a blast mixing it up with full-race Porsches and Corvettes,  placing 4th overall with a best lap time of 1:39.3…pretty amazing for a street-driven car with all the creature comforts 🙂
Great driving Walt! Video to come but for now enjoy these pictures from the race:
