Barb and I ran a time control point for a local rally yesterday. From 0730 to 2015, it was a long, long day but very interesting.

There were only 36 cars in the run with a total of 10 Datsuns.

1x 240Z

1x Stanza

1x 180B SSS

1x 200B

1x Sunny

1x 1200 Coupe

1x 240K

1x 240K GT

2x 1600

More Datsuns represented than any other marque. A mate who usually rallies his white 260Z was assistant course marshall this year so drove his green 240Z around instead.

"Precious" stayed home, safe in her garage. My Toyota ute had to negotiate the potholes and muddy roads.

Hi Rick,

Saw on the CAMS site that there was a rally up your way, how did the datto's place?

They didn't Mike.

While the cars may or may not have been capable of placing, as I'm sure you'd know, a heck of a lot is dependant upon the drivers ability.

Any photos rick?

One of my mates is working down there atm and made it to the Rally. He's sent me a coupe of pics and vids. I'll try and get the rest off him.

Here's one of the vids, Ian Ogivie's 1200 coupe, from Townsville.

So, I take that as DNF in many cases!

Did they run a Historic Category or was it all PRC? Most of those [if not all] in the list would qualify in HRC 2.
