69FJWagon Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 the 710 is running a 2.4? . I imagine the 710 has a LZ24 ,,,,, or a bored 2.4 L-series .......... ... . it kept driving by me off in the distance ........ I never got a good look at it..... .. :hmm: That 710 is Troys old car it is a L20b with 50mm webers, very fast car in the right hands Troy qualified top 5 in the big bore class (yes big bore... corvettes,mustangs and such) last year at Infineon before he sold it... I found that car on Craigslist a few years back and told Troy about it and he bought it and brought it back to it former racing glory with some very cool suspension updates ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Wow! Thanks for posting all this stuff up. It's making me really homesick though. I love Laguna. I some of the best days of my life down there. It looks like it was a really nice day too. For many years the IMSA races were in April and usually everything is green and the wild flowers are blooming. Was this A SCCA event? Quote Link to comment

troyt Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Wow, you really got your fill of Datsuns, didn't ya? And great links to the YouTubes and pro pics. Sorry we didn't get to spend time talking, but it looks like we were both a bit busy, eh? The Wagon had a good wknd, finished 7th overall in the Small-Bore Final race Sunday. The 510s out front sure were fast, maybe next year... Ermish was down in the 1:42s, I got down in the 1:48s. During Saturday's Qualifying race I got punted in T2 by a Porsche 356 Super 90, he ran out of talent and real estate about the same time during an over ambitious inside pass attempt. We both continued and had a beer over it afterwards ;-) 20+ Datsuns converged for this event, the most I've ever seen. It wasn't even planned, several different clubs were in attendance and just happened to bring all their D-cars. Quote Link to comment
