Thanks Jay, looking forward to next year! 

*double post 

Hey put in those orders to klassic fab now! He will be setting up a booth at the show! 

I've placed an ad for the show on portland craigslist, would be helpful for southern oregon, n. Washington folks to do the same. Looking forward to this year, I heard klassic fab was setting up a booth! Get the word out! 

I dig the Marb sticker, Marlboro always had the best race car livery.

Park is 5 bucks, show is 15.  This year we are going to do peoples choice for top 4 categories, and then we will do a legacy award. This or next year will most likely be the last as the Park and insurance is costing us a boat load, and we have honestly been doing it for 40 years now! We have loved putting on the show, but its just that time sadly :(.  So we are going to go until we are out of money!

Again.... Would be easy to just find a different venue and still call it blue lake show. 

Would be easy to just find a different venue and still call it blue lake show. this place sounds like nothing but problems for you. 

I'll be there, the venue is such a great change from Canby, you sir have established your own unique show. The july weather was such a treat. Huge turnout this year.
hope they did really good this year as far as admissions, this place is a treasure. 

I will say, best time i've had at a Datsun show, swap meet selection was huge, fantastic car turnout and the people are always a pleasure.

Friday afternoon heading south through Portland, stay on I-5 or use 405?

Always a better bet to take 205 south.

Most certainly! they will help you get sorted and settled when you arrive if Im not there yet. Im not sure when exactly well be getting there Friday as WagonJon and I are coming from northern Idaho this year.

I-84 to portland and then south or is there another route you're taking? give me a heads up when your close. friday, not sure when ill be leaving vancouver, I drove to salem yesterday on 205, to grab a trailer and it was stop and go traffic at 12pm all the way down to where it meets back up with i-5. need to time it right. 

I've posted the flyer on Portland Craigslist, advertising the show, under the auto parts category, perhaps people could post the same in eugene, medford, seattle, excremento.

Very cool, bring it to powerland this summer, a trailer if you have to 👌

Wait so shirts and flyers wont drive the cost up more ? Does that all cost money or do you have a hook up on free shit. Someone has to pay for it.. Volunteers is the only thing you said that's free, except there time. 

Show wont survive without promotion, the pics are fun to look at on the internet but the feeling at the time, I was there, was that it was on its last legs. I'll pay the 15 dollars for flyers, shirts or whatever will be paid for by abundance of admission due to promoting, More cars means more revenue for the park. 

You need regional volunteers from n. Washington, vancouver, Portland area, Eugene, southern or. And nor cal.  Tell them they get a free t shirt at the show by locally promoting and bringing their squads.

Street team also distributes printed flyers to local auto parts stores and car meets. Scaled down flyer to 1/4 sheet of paper for economical distribution.

Would adding $5 to the gate cover the additional costs? No one would mind paying a bit more to support the community.....can't even get a gallon of gas for that these days.

 I mind, thats lib thinking, the real answer is getting more cars in the gate at the same price.  Promotion, change of date and again promotion. 

Perfect Bang bus for the next powerland show, lot lizzards are crawling all over that truck stop outside the gates.

DATSUNParts sells a master cylinder from Japan for the original 310 roadster that has a caution note.  It will not fit 1500 cc Roadsters because the outlet is on the wrong side.  It's on the wrong side for JDM roadsters but fits export roadsters and RL411s perfectly.  The part sold is a genuine Nissan part but not listed in USA data books.  It installed perfectly in my RL411.  The only difference is that the fluid receptacle is smaller that factory RL411s.  It is adequate for all except heavy race applications.  If you need authentic factory look, just swap the receptacle from your old unit if you still have it.  One screw clamp and the swap is made.

 

This reply is for the RL411 front disc brakes.

 

If you have front drum brakes the best conversion would be to find the front cross member and front brake assembly from a scrapped RL411.

 

I have a complete 411 SSS front assembly over here, disc brakes, etc. klamath falls, oregon. needs gone through but complete, obo. 

You can find master cylinder rebuild kits on ebay,  also the SSS model came with front disc, maybe you can find a set of those. they are rare but parts hunting is half of the fun.

Sorry guys. See you all next year! stay safe stay healthy stay true to yourselves and your principles.

 
Looking forward to next year buddy, thanks for the effort.

This Bull Shit doesn't stop us, been running as always getting shit handled. Time to take events to the backyards of Datsun folks. 

 

"Fuck the police" oh, wait, the government.

And have been told, while a quick run to Medford Oregon,  the police are going to back up our rights and not arrest people for being out and actually living life.

Yes... backyards. 🏁
