Hi,

Just got back from driving the 370Z from Phoenix to Houston in the "Follow the Z Rally."

Attached is a reenactment with the 370Z's of another historic journey from nearly 40 years prior. In October of 1969, Datsun brought a pair of pre-production 240Z cars into the Phoenix area for testing. Their trip is immortalized in a photograph taken near Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, in front of the old Phoenix Greyhound Park. The picture shows the two Z test cars, with an early 510 chase vehicle, and Datsun personnel consulting a map during their trip through the Valley. Well, here we are, almost 40 years later, on the same exact corner, with three modern versions: Two 370Z's and a new 2009 Maxima.

Enjoy !

Left to right the drivers of the 370Z's are Marty Huynh, Gregg Rogers, and Greg Childs.

Cool!

That's amazing. I've driven past that spot literally thousands of times and didn't know its historical significance to Z'dom.

That doen't look like the same corner.

I guess after 40 years things change.

Way Cool!
