Datsun Meet NY May 19th

[Stickerman]

This is from th Datsun Roadster forum. I will be driving up from Baltimore. Sounds like a good time:

The 1st NY, NJ, CT Datsun Roadster Meet will be held Saturday May 19 , from 12 noon to 6 pm. The event will be held at the Captain Lawrence Brewing Company , Pleasantville , New York 10570. Link to the brewery website and directions below.

The event is open to all Datsun Roadsters, including 510s and Z cars and is not limited to Datsuns from the Tri State area. There is an open invitation all DRONE and MADROC members, in addition to anyone who would like to make the drive and attend. For those who do not have a running Roadster please consider attending, this will be a great opportunity to get good mechanical advice and meet your fellow Datsun owners.

As this is the first year of this event , and we are not sure of how many cars will attend, there will be not be any judging, competition or entry fee. We will have windshield placard's for all cars to list their particulars.

The Captain Lawrence Brewery is owned by my son and may 19 will be the 2nd anniversary of the Brewery opening. There will be beer , a barbeque and live music through out the day. ( there maybe/will be an small charge for the barbeque, he's not sure yet ).

A note to those considering attending and to those who have projects they are working on. I attended the 2005 Solvang show and the 2006 Mitty at Road Atlanta For me, by attending Solvang, and seeing some of the most beautifully restored Roadsters , it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish the restoration of my 69-2000 ( still not complete , but its been on the road for 2 years now ). I also met some great people in Solvang and made quite a few new friends. The Mitty was also a great time , I got to see more great Roadsters, 510s , Z cars , two Silvas and a vintage race with two Roadsters. Again, I met some great people and made more new Roadster friends.

So, lets start something new on the East coast, please consider attending.

Just to make sure, are all Z's allowed. I live only an hour away and would love to go.

All Datsun/Nissans are encouraged to come by. It would be really nice to meet a bunch of Nissan/Datsun people and hopefully make it a yearly event.

I will see that this is added to the Z Car Club of New England's (www.zccne.org) website events list.

Sad to say many of us are already commited to driving down to the Tail of the Dragon weekend event and will miss meeting up with you this year.

Good luck.

Also be sure to put the event in our calendar. You'll get a lot of exposure here.

Sounds great! I live in NYC and would love to bring my '70 240Z down from Bethel, CT.

Also - Can anyone recommend someone in Southwestern CT who can do electrical work on my Z? I have wiring gremlins I'd like to have worked on before the driving season...which I don't have the aptitude for (=

Please send a PM with any recommendations.

Thanks so much and look forward to the 19th,

Colin
