To all you fans out there with Datsun or Nissan Race cars or just fans of
racing in general I am very proud to be able to tell everyone finally about
the Legends of Datsun/Nissan racing event hosted by the Riverside
International Automotive Museum and put on with help of the Vintage Sedan
Racers Group(VSRG) and honoring John Morton for his incredible racing career.
We have 2 nights at The Riverside museum on June 21-22 to spend the evening
with a wide variety of people that raced, built or sold racing parts from the
60s through the early 2000s and the guest list includes famous teams and
independent racers from all areas and all types of road racing. I cannot
possibly list all the people but you can count on there being many of the BRE
team and a bunch of the guys from Electramotive,and NPTI as well as many of
the privateers. We will have some panel discussions as well as some videos and
a catered dinner on friday evening with a bar. Adam Carolla will
be there with a few of his historic Datsun Race cars. If this part of the
event was not enough we also have 3 days of vintage racing tied in at the
local California Speedway with the big summer event with HSR West racing and
we will have a large B-sedan/Trans-Am race as well as an all Datsun race for
the rest of the cars. We don't have all the details on the track event entry
costs for spectators yet but we are trying to work out a way to lower the cost
at the track.
We will have limited seats for this event. We will be encouraging participants
to bring items for the charity auction and hopefully something so we can
create a permanent display of the rich history of Nissan at Riverside Raceway
we will have a bunch of Datsun Race cars to enjoy and a very enjoyable weekend
of events. John Morton will be driving a 510 at the track event on Sat and
Sunday. Please go to www.LegendsofRiverside.com/Tribute to purchase tickets
and follow the list of invitees as we post them. By the way the charities we
are helping are the Boys Republic which is Chad McQueens efforts to help at
risk youth and the Paralyzed Veterans of America San Diego chapter which has a
motorsports program that one of our B-sedan racers Duane Norman is the head of
their efforts. Thank you all and look forward to seeing many of you at the
events.Les Cannaday
