KELMO Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 For those of us that are mathematically challenged, that means 7 to tie and 8 FTW (ya, I had to have my wife figure that out but she's smarter than me....even did it while makin me a sammich :D ) So if you're sittin on the fence, get off yer butt and do eet.

fairlady66 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Two weeks until registeration is closed! 37 Datsuns registered so far and no Trucks yet.... Come on, lets hit the 50 mark! Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 No Trucks still.... if the 4-speed Roadsters and some of the 510s and "Others" are making the drive, its hard to take "I only have a 4-speed" as an excuse.... :unsure: Big difference. I'll let you drive my NL320... Hearing a 50-year old unrestored engine spinning 5000rpm's at 60 mph is nerve-wracking. :) Like Ryan said, 5.56 rear gears in the old trucks. Roadsters and Dimes didn't have that issue. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Chris, sent you a PM...gotta send another with email add :D Bob, I took a road trip to Grants NM today (87 miles 1 way) took me about 1hr 45 mins. I can run about 60-65 mph and the car sounds and feels comfortable. So I don't know if that would slow your group down or not :huh: Guess I should have done that before I opened my mouth :lol: Anyway, Alb. to Williams is right around 370mi. At my(snails) pace thats about 8 hours. Just throwin all that out there, we'll see how things go. Quote Link to comment
zachdog Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'll be driving from ABQ on Friday with my red 69 2000 roadster. I'll try and join up with the CO crowd at Sadies between 12 and 1. If anyone has car trouble near ABQ, I have lifts and tools. sfdaugherty01@msn.com Shannon Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 So excited for this - CAN'T WAIT!!! Chris, you should be expecting a registration from Ron (in Williams) for a 64 wagon and a Roadster or two... We should be over 40 Datsuns now. :) Quote Link to comment

Chris, you should be expecting a registration from Ron (in Williams) for a 64 wagon and a Roadster or two... We should be over 40 Datsuns now. :) I already counted Ron in from the begining with at least 1 car. Just talked with him yesterday in fact. Haven't had any register in several days, but as of this morning we are at 42! Do I hear 45!!!!? :D T-Shirt Order placed! Just had another Truck register. This one is from Gilbert :) Quote Link to comment
fairlady66 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ok! We are now at 45!!! There is no reason we can't pull at least 5 more in to Williams for the day. We are already doubling the towns population for that day so let go for it. Local media will be around as well, lets give them 50 Datsuns to look at. T-Shirt order placed, for those registering between now and the close of registertion there will be a limited suply of shirts on sale at the event, but I can't promise their size will be avaliable - it is first come on these shrts. Willams, HERE WE COME! Quote Link to comment
fairlady66 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It's count down time. 7 days left to register - we have 47 Datsuns registered for an outstanding time in Williams Arizona. Working on a few final details. The raffles being put together as are goodie bags. Local media is all over this. They are running a story next week in local paper. I will post the link once the story is out. Donations are still being accepted. Register at www.socalroc.net Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Where are you staying? Chris, I checked and I'm at the Motel 6 West. I'll be pulling in sometime Friday afternoon. I'm planning on leaving O.C. early, around 6:00-6:30am or so. Quote Link to comment
