This weekend I made my maiden visit to Portland Int'l Raceway for the 2014 HMSA Portland Historics, with Datsun being the featured marque. Over two dozen Datsun 240Zs, 510s, Roadsters, 710s, and even a GTR Skyline showed up to support the first ever major U.S. Historic event spotlighting the venerable Japanese manufacturer. Mr. John Morton of BRE fame was the event Grand … [Read more...] about PORTLAND HISTORICS 2014

I know they go by a new name now, but they are still the Historics to me. I spent Thursday pit-crewing for my friend Phil Mendelovitz who was racing his IMSA GTU Nissan 240SX, wow, what a car! This was the Leitzinger multi-Championship car from the early 90's. Also spent some time cruising the pits enjoying all the sites. … [Read more...] about 2013 MONTEREY HISTORICS
