It is hard to describe how beautiful this engine bay was. -

Oh my! A couple of gold medallion candidates! -
Lets see what we have in the S30 wing. -

One grouping on the main floor. Taken from the mezzanine above. -
The main floor inside the mall. The 350Zs were in their own wing as were the S30s. -
Various stuff...post cards, patches, stickers, cards and tickets from the week -
The 1933 Datsun fire truck belongs to ZCCA Historian, Dan Banks. It was on eBay twice before Dan bought it last winter. It IS a museum piece and it is being very well cared for. It has many AACA awards. -
The car on the left is an original '70 with higher milage. It had stock tires. The yellow one has been very well restored to a very high standard - stock '70. Then Ed's first-in-class, then one of three gold medallions. Ed was in good company all day! -
Way to go, Ed! -
Gold medallion -
Original July 1970 with 23,000 miles. Belongs to a college junior given to him from his grandfather when he passed away. First in class stock 240. I judged it and photo-documented it. The battery has been replaced, the tires have been replaced, and it has a "Midas" replacement muffler system. Otherwise, it is a time piece showing only the wear typical of that mileage. That's an extremely valuable car, in my opinion. Absolute true survivor. -
That's Mr. K signing the dash. -
Mr. K went to work for Nissan in 1935, two years after this truck was made. That's the owner of the truck and the guy who started the first Datsun dealership in America behind the truck. -
THis won an award. I forget which. Way nice car. -
Thanks for the ride in the race car, John! -

Hell Yes I'll take a ride in the club race car! I hear that there is going to be a drawing for rides with Steve Millen for all the people signed up for the track tour. The camera is all tuned up and ready to go! Mid 60's at night and mid '80s during the day, Vicky. Sound frisky to you? I'm a little concerned. I think I'm going to have to wear clothes! Better warn the others... Five guys from Florida that I know of now. I'll have a full report in about a week.

I bought a 1959 Triumph TR3 when I was sixteen. It didn't have any brakes and I paid $50 for it. Sold it for $50 with working brakes about six months later and bought a 1965 VW bug which I had until my senior year in high school. My parents never knew about the Triumph. My mother wouldn't allow me to have a sports car. "No kid of mine is going to wrap himself around a tree in a sports car" was my mother's favorite line. By the time I was eighteen, I had an MG midget which I took to SCCA driver's school.

Zach, I am unclear if your car is an American import or not, but if it is HLS30, the original engine number is stamped on the VIN plate mounted to the right-hand shock tower in the engine bay. Directly adjacent to the VIN plate, a flat spot on the top of the engine block has the engine number stamped into it. Give a look and report back.

Victor, From everything I understand about customer service these days, its; "if you have a complaint, please step aside as there are five people behind you willing to pay $50 more than you". You have been to MSA, I'm sure. I have a sneaking suspicion that MSA hired blondes to kind of spruce up the place and answer phones. You probably got put on hold while they were cleaning the white-out off their screens from the previous order. Sorry to hear about your difficulties but what the hell were you doing on hold for twenty minutes? Your fault, dude. Clearly, your fault. If you ever do get back to MSA, be sure to tell those blondes to enjoy the ride.
