Good show fellas. Love to hear how the datsuns are going in different events.
Dman is that tan coupe running the CA16 now?
The tan coupe is running the same old A15 that it has had for a while. It is not intended to replace this engine with anything other than another A series.
The other 1200 coupe in the workshop undergoing slow but steady construction, on the other hand, is another matter. It is this other car that I refer to as 'the secret weapon' I am not at liberty to discuss any of it's mechanical specs, other than to say that it is a further development of the current car. I do not expect to see this one running this year.
Jeff, it was good to meet up again & to meet Dog160. Having fellow Datsun club members at an event just makes the whole day go better.
As for your times, now that the engine runs right, I'm sure that just a little juggling with tyre pressures, & a bit of practice with the extra power, & you will be right on the pace.
As for the Boss, yes, he is even older than me, but don't tell the timekeeper, all he sees are the lightning reactions of a 20 year old.
The only hicups of the day were when a driver suffered a heart attack while chatting to others at the top of the hill. He was only a few feet away from a fully equiped Paramedic Ambulance & received immediate treatment. This was early in the morning, & right at the end of the day, one driver had an 'off' causing damage to two wheels & some suspension parts. This thing was a Kawasaki-Triple powered roller skate. He had been racing it for thirty years I believe. It'll fix OK.
