November 22, 1970 Fuji Speedway 200
B110 Brilliant Debut! All Japan Fuji stock car 200 mile race 全日本富士ストックカー２００マイル Trans-Nics
Although sales of the 2nd generation Sunny (B110) started in January of 1970, the racing debut was in the 1970.11.23 Fuji Speedway 200 miles race. "TS" class race is the 1300cc class.
It didn't seem much of a threat to the Mazda Capella rotaries and the mighty Toyota KE Corollas, but when preliminary round ends, a drastic reversal of fortune was hinted at. Suzuki Makoto marked the time of 1:42:28 and took pole position. The crowd at large still expected the factory Toyotas would have the advantage, as they had dominated the Sunny B10s (Datsun 1000s).
On race day, in the first corner is was Corollas, 1 2 and 3. However, on the last corner, the Sunny slipped in and it was all over. Victory for Sunny!

Cherry X Debuts (E10 FWD series) 富士マスターズ２５０キロレース
For some reason the Cherry X A12 engine was tuned to a higher level than in the Sunny 1200. Rather than the Weber carbs in the engine, Lucas fuel injection (from the Skyline GTR PGC10) was fitted. This was reported to delivered more torque than the carbureted engine.

Minor Touring (MT) champion race at Fuji International Speedway
The field was 80% Sunny! The days of Sunny vs. Corolla are gone, now it's Sunny vs. Sunny. The qualifying race was held in the rain, where the FWD Cherry once again showed its strength.
The Sunny grille mask debuted here
Unexpectedly, race day had fair weather. The Cherry and Akiyama's Sunny sprint off at the signal. By turn one there was a bunch-up of Sunny's, including Tomei and Mecca cars.
