2010 National Runoffs

[Bruce Palmer]

I was just looking through the EProduction entry list for this year's Runoffs. There appears to be thirty entries in that class with only three Z's and out of that whole group only two from west of Kansas. Up jumped the economy I'm guessing.....

I only spotted one roadster and one 510 in the other production classes, maybe a 510 in GTL.

Good luck everyone. That's not a very big Datsun banner........

I'm eagerly awaiting seeing Steve Epperly and Greg Ira in the same race. Greg is obviously fast, I hear Steve is really fast as well. It will be fun to see how they stack up against each other.

The 510 is just too brick shaped to compete anymore I think. A lot of the "Sentras" and other small Nissan cars out there are still using L4 engines, but I think the penalty for that boxy shape is just too high for the 510 to be in the hunt for a national championship.

I do wish you wouldn't say "stack up against each other"..... Gives me the heebygeebies...... Nyuck nyuck

Good luck Z racers. Sorry I can't be there shooting pics.....

Greg is running well. Steve didn't run the first session.

Just got off the phone with Pam. Steve's lack of times was due to the transponder not working. He got in a full session on the track though which is imperative on a new track. It's supposed to warm up into the 80s tomorrow which should allow everyone to get dialed in with less iffy conditions.

They have one session tomorrow, one on Wednesday and the race on Friday. Signing autographs and kissing babies on Thursday maybe?

The race will be shown live here.

Wow.....Two great drivers......Two great guys. Good luck to both of you! Hope you get dialed in Steve.....make it a good race!

The E Production race is Friday at 1:30 Central time. All good loyal Z owners should call in sick ......

Carry on and thanks for the link. Takes some of the sting of having to stay home and keep the home fires burning, out of it.

^ I feel your pain. New job and no vacation time kept me home as well. Lucky for me I get off on Friday at 11:30 EST.

Just got off the phone with Pam.

Hey Bruce please keep us in the loop. Sitting here waiting for results is killing me. And this week not much is going to happen.
