Dec 01 Great article about Michael Carions 1967.5 Datsun 311 Roadster. Nice clean car.

Feb 02 , Z8 A great article about Mike Gruners 1972 Datsun 240z. Not very stock though. Out went the L24 and went a Gm zz4 crate motor. 485hp and 450 foot pounds of torque. backed by a BW world class 5spd. Same issue - wrap up of the 2001 SCCA national runoffs. Great little picture of Jeff Winter and his Datsun 510 that won the G production national title. Who says 510's are to old to win? There also is a Goodyear ad that has all the winners from the national who won on Goodyears tyre. Very cool!!!
