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 🙂

Everyone had a great time at the drags with several Z/G cars participating.
Chuck G.’s 3.8L Twin Turbo Z33 ran an 11.75 !!!
                                

Stay tuned for a full event report and don’t miss the next event!

Just another example of how love and Z’s go hand in hand.
This pretty 240z belongs to a customer and recently had a photoshoot together with his girlfriend.
To her surprise at the end of the session he proposed!
                      

Congratulations Michelle and Christian!

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.

Thought you’d like to know of this.
Thanks again

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!

Here are the overall results from this month’s event:
