If you are a fan of vintage racing come out to Laguna Seca August 18-21 for the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Once again ZONC is hosting a VIP Car Corral for your Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti. To park in the corral you MUST purchase the corral tickets by JULY 10! That is this Sunday folks! It is only $10, allows you to park with other Datsun owners, and it’s literally footsteps away from the track and venue, unlike general parking. See you there!

Comments Off on Annual Z Show In Brisbane…7/9/11
This year’s Concours was just as incredible as last with an even larger showing of Japanese cars. Thanks to David Swig there was an 11-car lineup in the Japanese Car Exhibit. The display included an R34 Skyline GT-R, Datsun 510, Datsun 610, three Datsun 240z cars, Datsun roadster, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Celica, Toyota Corona, and a Honda S600 roadster!
The weather was perfect for walking on that famous Stanford lawn with cars from different eras and marques everywhere. The highlight of the Japanese Car Exhibit for me had to be the Datsun 610, Toyota Corona and the Honda S600. I have not seen a clean 610 in person and this one looked just right lowered over Watanabe wheels and running a front spolier. We wonder what it had under the hood. I really liked the pillar-less door/window and the rear tail lights:
David Swig showed his 26k original mile Toyota Corona Coupe. This car was a totally un-molested gem with plenty of character. From the hidden fuel filler to the pillar-less windows and detailed hubcaps it was treat to see:
The Honda S600 roadster sported a dual chain-drive system unlike the later S800 with its live axle. The high-revving motor has a near 10,ooorpm redline, in 1965! The owner said driving it was exhilarating to drive since the powerband starts where most car redline 🙂

This morning we drove to Infineon Raceway to participate in the “TurnZ” event hosted by ZONC. Weather was stormy but we made it up to the event five Z cars strong. Only a handful of Datsuns/Nissans were parked at Turn Z and we were informed that other marques were also parking with us since their spots were too muddy. Rain in June…in the Bay Area…no comment 🙂
It was a great meeting Alex, owner of this ’68 2000 Datsun Roadster:
