Matco tools distributor. Avid Datsun 510 fanatic.
And I love My cats, and least iI forget my good friends Jeff ,Donna,Doug,and Diana. Without whom I would most likley be totaly crazy by now!!!!!!!!!
What car(s) do you own?
I tow with a 04 Nissan Titan,1969 Datsun PL510 (the box) Painted to look like the #68 Guest car during the 72 Trans-Am season
What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?
building and fabricating.
and racing my vinage 510
Are you going to the Trans-Am reunion at the Petersen on November 12th? Les and I, along with some others, are going and will be there in time for the "Cheating Seminar" at 2PM. Nissan is sending the 46 car and then it will go to Les' shop for tuning up and running some events next year with Morton. Let me know if you're going next Thursday.
So far, so good. Making several changes to fix problems from Fontana but, of course, no time to test. So I guess Coronado becomes the test for Willow Springs the next weekend. That is, knock on wood, if nothing goes wrong.
Jon,
I'll try to make sure to get a note out to you and Bill for our 2010 Trans Am event. Thanks for the comment on the photos - I'm loading some from the 2009 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb tonight...
Jon,
Got a comment on the BS/2.5 group site from a Mike Rogers with Rocky Mountain Vintage Racers in Colorado. They do a Trans-Am vintage event each year and sent an invite to the VRL a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like an event that might be fun. And Colorado is reasonably close. Check out the website. See you soon.
Jon,
Looking good for Auto Club Speedway this month. We currently have about 13 cars signed up and Ed is going to give us our own run group. Les and Jim are trying to contact as many others as they can so if you know some sedan guys we may not, feel free to contact them. Was sorry I didn't get the Trans-Am invite earlier, might have taken that trip. Maybe next year although the Mitty comes first. See you at Fontana.
Just got back from Phoenix. A new track (for me) and a little rain made it very interesting. Still fighting some fuel flow issues but managed to come in 2nd. Helped that Tim Brecht didn't want to try it on a semi-wet track.
I've made it to Baxters (now HSMA Portland Historics) the last 15 years either as a driver or spectator. It's always scheduled for the first weekend after July 4th which means a few family vacations have been cut short.........................Oops. (See very understanding wife)
Good seeing you at the BRE Reunion. As we discussed, we had some motor issues and went the wrong way on the jetting and had it way too rich. Just wouldn't run so I had to pull off and get far enough away that it wouldn't cause a yellow in turn 2. Obviously, we still have some work to do but I am looking forward to being more competitive next year.
Yes I will be at Cal Speedway with HSR. Not sure that I will get to run with you this time as I am a prod car and you guys have your own run group now. Guess I have to get my 510 done.

Rain, rain, and more rain here in the NW. Its a good time of year to hide in the garage and work on race cars.
