Someday, this will be a vintage car... I liked the throwback paint scheme so I thought I would include it here...

I am not sure how old this shot is... But it encompasses all three of my favorites. The Z, the 914, and the 911.

This is pretty cool... Lots of Datsuns and even a 914 or two. Anyone recognize the track or care to venture a guess as to the race?

Look again. It's the esses at Road Atlanta, the Runoffs around 1977. But yes, definitely a classic.

My guess is Sharp and Fitzgerald on the front row, the yellow z, third row, is Logan Blackburn - there's been some discussion this is the blue BRE Z which the Mason's now own. The Silver/red #17 Z driver has a last name of Carpenter IIRC, he's been in some Blackhawk Farms pictures which I posted towards the beginning of this thread.

And agreed Larry, definitely Road Atlanta, runoffs.

Hi Phil, your assumption is not quite correct. The Blue and white car in front of Logan is Dan Parkinson's 280Z #5 which is not a BRE car. The Logan blackburn car shown might be the BRE 3 car, but I am not sure. Dan had the #46 car but wrecked it prior to this photo, this shows Dan's later car that he built out of the salvagable pieces of the 46 car.
