mrbigtanker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I said it before, I'll say it again. If you had a show that holds 300 cars, and 600 people wanted their cars in it, would you keep out the nice cars so some rougher cars could come in? Or would you pick the best cars for the show? According to these guys pick the shit cars first, that will draw them in. 1 Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Datsuns are meant to be driven for those old enough to remember the adds they said Datsun WE ARE DRIVEN not trailered :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: We are DRIVEN.....ON A TRAILER :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: 3 Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Who cares.. bring your car(in ANY state) up for Canby and we'll welcome you with open arms. Hell, we'll even let you stay a few days, just cuz we appreciate the distance you've traveled. I'm so down for Canby, BUT, I don't know if my car will be ready by then, and it'd be $500 for gas alone with my gas guzzling Mikuni goodness. I'd have to slap on a stock downdraft for the way up. I know, excuses excuses. I don't think I'd be able to drive at all with those. Quote Link to comment
rharm78 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 So if a truck were to have 1 different colored body panel(front fender), but a lot of dents would it have a chance of getting in? I'd like to take my daily driver 78 620, because for now that's the only Datsun I have. And I live close enough, and I know it could make it there in one piece :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 So if a truck were to have 1 different colored body panel(front fender), but a lot of dents would it have a chance of getting in? Probably not. But there's always tons of cool stuff in the parking lot, so I'd say bring it anyway. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 And you have enough time to paint the fender, so... :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 We are DRIVEN.....ON A TRAILER :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: "Datsun, buy it for the long run!" so I did! Bought my 1967 RL411 on 19 March 1968 and am still driving it. It helps that the glove box manual contains wiring diagram schematics and alignment proceedures for the Hitachi SU carbs and the Tech data on the dimensions and fluids etc.! Don't get anywhere close to the amount of really useful info in what passes for the Owner Info pulp in today's glove boxes! 1 Quote Link to comment
rharm78 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 datsunfreak, That is true buts originally paint in pretty good shape since it was protected by primer for nearly 20 years, so I don't know if I could bring myself to it yet. Although I did find a color that was pretty close. I used the color for a inner tailgate panel from a 79 kc, except its on my 78 regular cab. Its a nice addition for loading/unloading Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah, but I just went to their site and it says they are going to be more strict about what cars are allowed in, it reads that there will be no more mismatched body panels, primered cars, or cars with body damage/rust. I guess I better get one of my Dattos cleaned up and painted. My truck may be a little bit of a challenge. :crying: My ol' reliable "Project parts Resurrection" car may be my best bet, as I have already done most of the body repairs and just need to clean up some welded panels and ding/dent repairs, then paint it. :frantics: If the whole unpainted...primed/dented cars aren't getting in.......that would mean most of this Northern Cali crew/Datslocos crew would not make it in...... I would hate to drive all the way down to get rejected becuz some upety fuck likes shiny things........ Need more details before signing up..... I know, excuses excuses. .......you said it. 1 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Antony your car would get in just fine along with Mike and Bababooey.. There were not as strict as it all played out and every one thought last year..as long as your car is not smashed your good. 1 Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Someone said there is cool stuff in parking lot , that's BS. last year a tram would give rides from a parking lot somewhere else (I did not attend ) , I prefer to have an ice chest in my car for some beverages and food where I can walk to my car and eat , so I am out again this year too much ! we need a bigger event location !

Mattndew76 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 If my Car isn't done by Canby time. It should be done by the time JCCS rolls around. Im down for a trip in the 1200 if you cali nuts want to team up. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's a really great show and well worth it. Just the entry bag is a real cool gift.. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Whats the debt line for entry? Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think 8.00 to get in. To enter your car it's 45.00 unless they raise prices. But again the bag they give you is really cool. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Whats the debt line for entry? Assuming you mean deadline, there isn't a firm one. Registration opens on 7/1/15 and then it closes when it sells out, which has happened fairly quickly in the last two years. There are a limited number of spaces sold. 2 Quote Link to comment

Burabuda Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 another reason no piecers allowed also, the issue that pops up every year the "unfair" awards/trophies... guys try not to get uptight over the results since the show is for strictly for fun--aka not a high stakes, "real" competition car show (if you didn't already know) 1 Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 So what your saying is we don't need to pull off all our wheels, And put mirrors under it. Oh and put dead dummies in our cars. Like at Nissan Jam..... 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 July 1 is when registration opens. Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 If there is limited space for cars and spectators have to pay then the organizers have a responsibility to be selective and put on the best show they can for the spectators and sponsors. This ain't Candy 2 Quote Link to comment
