p.s. Hopefully my hero John Morton will be my instructor at least for one lap!

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 be 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 on 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. below are some links to the track that you will enjoy especially the one where John Morton tells you how its done I hope you will all enjoy them

Thank you
Les Cannaday

sweet!! I guess it's time to start a caravan thread for this since it lands on a weekday!!

Pending my PTO approval, I'm looking at driving down on Wednesday after work and coming back saturday night or sunday morning (Father's Day).
Most likely, I'll be game for this track event & Car show event on Saturday!!
