Rhapakatui Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Well I'm here. Where are you guys? Hopefully either en route or already here too. Otherwise, you're missing out. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Was a fun event. Definitely need to bring my 1200 next year. Will be posting some pics, probably tomorrow. I'm completely worn out right now... 2 Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Was a fun event. Definitely need to bring my 1200 next year. Will be posting some pics, probably tomorrow. I'm completely worn out right now... I don't know about bringing a Datsun, but I'd like to try to make this next year. I haven't been to Texas in quite a while, and that's a good reason to make the trip. Quote Link to comment
540SX Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Fun event. Met all the Ratsun guys for the first time. Ive been reading here for awhile but no posts. John thanks for the history on my (your old) car. I promise it will be cleaned up next year and licensed so I can drive it down. Brad Quote Link to comment

I wish I would've got to talk to you more. Maybe the next event. Keep an eye out in the events section to see when that might be. You know you won a plaque right? Second place 510. For those of you not there... there were two. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Really wish I'd brought my car. Saturday looked like a lot of fun... 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 The show on Sunday is a lot of fun, but Saturday is awesome for everyone. Maybe next year I'll go to the track day, but the hill country cruise is as much as the goon can handle. This year's course was 220 miles of beautiful roads. Lots of swift dips and turns to test the cars out in. The track looked amazing too. I got very few pics, but I'll stick up a few. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Some crappy cell phone pics I snapped along the way. Friday night: Apparently Ratsun had a section of a VIP table, but I didn't spot it and sat in the back corner. It worked out, I made some new friends at the random table we picked. Didn't expect to see a Cedric in the parking lot. Datsunfreak got some much better shots of it on Sunday. Saturday: Signing up Lining up. I tried to take some pics while driving, but the Goon is a two handed and two footed operation. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sunday: The Datsun line up. Starting to clear out during the awards ceremony. The only picture I took of an individual Datsun at the show. Sorry I'm not much of a photographer. I think I documented the comings and goings of Lonestar and his car better than the event itself. I had fun though. I'll look up some of the better photography from the event and bring them back here. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Some links to picture threads from around the Forum Universe. https://www.flickr.com/photos/emr_cars/sets/72157652983386210 http://www.texasnissans.com/tx/forums/showthread.php?t=19430 http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2595362/Nismo-Fiesta-2015-pictures.html There are some good facebook ones too, but I'm not having much luck posting those. I really suck at Facebook. Tons more pics to come I'm sure.. I know datsunfreak has a camera full. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I liked your pics then i refreshed the page and they all turned into dead links. ?? And now 15 minutes later they turned back ,,,,,,,,,, WTF Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It was fun. My 210 took second place in the Datsun other, losing out to the Nissan Cedric. :poke: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Cedric was pretty cool, but I think your car is in better shape. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Thanks John. I don't mind that I lost, the Cedric was an awesome car. My point is, it took 1st in the 'Datsun' other. Yes, I got to point that out. forever and always. :D 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I thought about suggesting that it get judged with the "Nissan other" category, but they were called Datsuns in some parts of the world. Just not in Japan from which that one recently arrived. If it makes you feel better, it was really close. For those not there, I got picked to judge the Non-Z Datsun cars. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Looks like at least 1 New Mexico car was there, that yellow Z in one if the oics looks familiar, along with the bearded dude next to it. Would love to try for this next year, just wasn't in the cards for me this year. Quote Link to comment
