Greeting Datsun/Nissan Fans

This is the first message of a few that will follow regarding

information on the 2004 Z convention Track day. I am sorry it will be

long.

The track day is open to ALL Datsun/Nissan cars

For those of you interested in attending the Z convention out here on

the left coast let me offer up some further enticement.

My name is Les Cannaday and I am your host on behalf of Group Z and the

convention committee we are planning an incredible day of driving and

demonstrations not to be missed if you are into racing, AutoX, or just

incredibly spirited driving I think we will have something to fill the

bill.

We have kept the price to an incredibly low $100 for the day at what is

known as the fastest road in the west. Yes we will be at that track you

all see on speedvision where they test all the cars and we have some

great guests lined up. We will have a selection of driving instructors

to teach and show you the course and maybe even have a celebrity drive

along with you. I will not go into all the details now but there will

a group for every driving level. We have been told that we can expect

possibly 3 or more different car magazines to attend this as well to

cover this and the convention.

The track day is open to ALL Datsun/Nissan cars

I want to encourage anyone with a vintage or current Datsun/Nissan race

car to please try and attend since this is also a celebration of Mr Ks

95th birthday and he is the one who got Datsun into racing outside of

Japan we are going to have some awesome race cars allowed to race to

show our appreciation and respect to the father of most of our favorite

cars. He will be at the track with us and we foresee this to be the

biggest ever all Datsun/Nissan track day ever done. We WILL be allowed

to have a real race at this event.

The date is June 17th Thurs. all day and we have room for many drivers

and I will try not to limit us until I think I have too many to make it

fun for all.

I will post more info on tech specs to follow as well as advice for

enjoying the track to its fullest.

When we invade Willow springs it will be the big track and the Streets

of Willow will have a full auto X setup by some of the best pros I know

and driving instruction that should prove to be top notch as well as a

Nismo sponsored Drifting demonstration and they are bringing over the

best guy in Japan. Seventeen other Cars and friends are coming from

Japan as well.

There will be a mandatory Drivers meeting regarding safety and

etiquette

on the morning of the event and if you do not attend you will NOT get

the track. I would also like to encourage any of you who wish to drive

to please bring helmets since that could become a problem I will have

more details in following posts on additional safety concerns

breakdown

of the groups and what we will expect from you.

Please send any request for info to me but do watch for me to add

things

on these lists and if you know someone who may wish to attend please

let them know or if they have a special car that you think should be

here. Please do not bombard Group Z or the convention website for info

on the track day. Please print this out and keep it for reference.

John Morton tells you how its done I hope you will all enjoy them
