For all of you that werent able to go to the races. You guys missed out on a
once in a life time event. Morton started the race towards the back in a 34
car field. He was able to battle his way to the front But on his way he
incountered some big cars that were holding him up. mainly Vic Edelbrock in
the Smokey Unick 7/8 scale Camaro. John and Vic were fighting lap after lap.
John would almost get by him then Vic would dive down and cut John off. Down
the front straight John would pull next to Vic and give him the finger
showing Vic that he is number one! Ya right! It finaly ended when Morton
from what I heard spun Vic and the Camaro out in to turn 1 I think. At this
point the BRE 510 as slightly wounded. The left front strut was bent. And a
little body damage. He finaly ended up in about 13th ro 15 spot. First in
class. With Horsts old Alfa close in tow, but never really in the position
to challenge him. The word was out that they ha! d a hot motor in the
Alfa. Along the lines with the fuel cell problem back in 1972 at Laguna
Seca. All in all the two Datsun BRE cars had a great showing for Nissan and
all the Datsun 510 fans who showed up.
Too bad the car is now going back to Nissan headquarters and will be
probably put back to sleep for another 30 years. Call Nissan headquarters
and tell them what you think of that. Yes this cars is
priceless but it should be out in the public eyes more and let out to
stretch its legs on special occasions to run and run hard as it did this
weekend!!
Phil
