Wylder1324 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I operate a Flying Service out of a smallish airport in Jasper Texas and we have several events each year including an airshow, fly-in, and air race in which we sometimes have some vintage autos participate. Being the Datsun/Nissan fanatic that I am I've been thinking of trying to organize a large scale event catering to us during one of our aviation related events. There are some beautiful drives in our area as well as having Lake Sam Rayburn 15 mins away I think it would make for a great place to meet. We also have agreements with local hotels etc for discounts during our events so that helps for those who want to make a weekend of it. I would like to get some feedback from some of you who might be willing to drive out for it. Quote Link to comment
KC Phirus Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 do I get to drift on the runway? Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 is there any room for a rustbucket daily beater from austin or is this going to be just show cars Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Im open to any, and everything Datsun/Nissan….all of mine are works in progress, certainly not "show cars" As far as runway drifting haha I will have to say thats a negative. Quote Link to comment
Jasper Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'd go, but Jasper is a significant drive from Cleburne. Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yeah its a bit of a drive....but I guess this venture is doomed if I cant even get the Texas crowd to drive a little ha Quote Link to comment
datsunpolisher Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Im in henderson tx but im willing to drive my 72 521 there About 1:45 hr drive but im there. Message me a date when. Quote Link to comment
Sirsedrith Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Due to the help of my fellow Datsun Brothers, I have parts shipping that should get my 521 up on its wheels. ( Long story, but eternally grateful.) Let me know when, if you dont mind a slightly rusty stock 521 (with the OEM paint at least!) Participant count :4? Sounds like enough for me!

Wylder1324 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Im shooting for a Fall date. We host a nice fly-in/camp-out event late September so I will probably shoot for that. Hopefully in the mean time we can recruit a few more people. I will get over to some of the other Datsun/Nissan sites and spread the word some (Zcar.com, 311s.org, 720world.com, RMP-O.com and HybridZ….if we could get at least 10-20 I would be happy……then again I guess I have 5 all by myself haha.

datsunfreak Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 If, by some minor miracle, my 1200 is done by then... Count me in. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
WishDRFTR Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Austin's pretty far... But if a lot of people went, I'd go. Maybe I can bring both my Datsun and my Nissan. Quote Link to comment
