Saturday was the actual All Datsun/ Nissan Car Show. All of the winners were selected by the people attending the show. After the show, Glenn, Scott, Rob, Donna, and myself took part in the autocross. This was definitely a blast. The way the course was set up, it seemed like only a 510 could fit in between the cones. I was amazed that my Z was just as at home on this course as on the track. Good brakes, suspension, and driving skill are requirements. I am hoping that I will gain experience with more track and autocross events.

After the autocross, we headed into the lodge for the banquet and awards ceremony:

Best Z32: 1st place Scott Smith, 2nd place me.

Best Nissan Special interest vehicle: 1st place Datsun Patrol, 2nd place Glenn Nakata

Best 510 paint: 1st place Rob Fuller

Best 350Z: Donna Powell

Rob also won another award for his 510 which I can't remember. Scott, Donna, Glenn, and Rob also won awards during the Gymkhana and Autocross as well.
