It is sad news. I attended 2003 Shasta with my 610 Datsun. 2004 Shasta was going to be my B210 appearance, but I was not able to finish my engine work and I missed it. 2005 is when my B210 got stolen by the city and all that nightmare made of Shasta 05 not an option for me.
For this year Shasta I had to be in Washington DC on that week. I was preparing my 610 for next Shasta, new paint job ( original colour) coil over suspension, sway bars, 5 speed and dual DCOE's.........man! I hope something is done. I heard stories by a friend that attended this year that the Roadster crowd seems to be a little snoby. The meet was held once with all Datsuns included, but seems the Roadster crowd got annoyed by the great number of 510 Datsuns ( the most common one here in the US).
The Roadster crowd does not want to participate in an all Datsun meet, if that is the case....shame on them....how ludicrous it would be if true.....a Datsun discriminationg against other Datsuns......at least I know is not Datsun vrs Datsun...but stupid owners . I hope I am wrong.
Shasta is an ideal place for the meet. Nice and scenery. Away from big city life. I was told the managers at Shasta the complex also want to raise the rent. I wonder, in summer, no snow, what could beat a weekend of Datsun enthusiasts?? Many of these people will be around for sky season, and, above it all, revenue for the place. Other than that, close the place and let the spiders enjoy it.
And if you think about it, all that is used is a parking lot that is nothing close to top of the line pavement. The facility, for what I remember, was used only for opening and closing ceremonies. I entered that place only for the final ceremony. The complex is not used at full capacity, not evern at 30%.

I will have to find another show to go this next year. Hopefully not.

it is a massive effort. Dennis and Peggy both looked in good shape the last time I saw them in February. Maybe something has changed. Maybe they are getting tired of Datsuns.. I don't understand how this is possible!!

All the same, a lot of effort goes into organising Shasta (or any large event), and it's all done for love, I'm sure they never made a great deal of money from it.

This is disturbing news indeed.

I'll find out the truth and let us all know.

there you go.
I thought i sensed a disturbance in the force.
That's too bad.

I was at both the shasta and the canby meet this year. I did hear about the thunder hill meet they might/might not put on, I hate the heat.

The all datsun meet at Shasta was put on by a different group of people, on a different date, and at a different location than the roadster get together.

The event that you see pictures of on this site are from the deal at the ski lodge. the roadster crowd meets in a park in Mt. Shasta City.

Because of this, the roadster guys may (or may not) do their thing this year, while the club who puts on the all datsun meet has moved the event to Thunderhill racetrack. I have been there before for a trackday and it is really hot.

Although it is about 400 miles north of shasta, the Canby show will still happen this summer!

You guys should come up for it (even you mat).

I know, It just seems weird that one would keep going and one would stop. I heard the rates to rent the lodge went up.... Do the roadster guys have more money?

amigo, the roadster one is a completely different show on a different date

dude a roadster guy said they will still be holding there's. I don't know what is going on.... Anyone else hear this?

THERE WILL BE NO SHASTA '07

and possibly no more shastas at all, unless the hale's can find a different location

there is some talk of a thunderhill track day weekend in july, but that'll mean about 85% less attendance

haha ange
