kQUOTE=nzeder;39788]The Datsun is not a Pre 65 with the B110 coming about in 1970 - even the first sunny the B10 was 1966-69. Now a bluebird 410/411 would be Pre65 as these models were 1963-67. I believe the 410/411 was the first Nissan/Datsun to be assembled here in NZ

Love watching the youtube in car from the Rush IMP aka 77.[/QUOTE]

Good racing this weekend at Ruapuna, good fields and good fun with the south and north boys mixing. Great to catch up with you Grant, bet the right foot is itching now after watching the boys at play.

and a BIG field of pre-65 cars, as in all class's.

Like wise Roddy, the best news was knowing yr back to the old Rod , yes naturally one feels these things when we go to a race meeting , my friend you meet[ Kevin Ban] was one of my main men , I had gone down to do a deal on my old car ............... but we were just to far apart so were the lap times going back over 13 yrs ago so there would have been a lot to do which I was prepared to do ........not to mention a few other things. Hey Brett did very well F5000 but hard to knock off Steve considering the age & weight he drives pretty damn good ........ I caught up with some good people even invited onto Bone,s truck stand great view fantastic Timaru boys loved it ............. will look out for you at manfield [on tv] lol got to knock down some trees for firewood it never stops ......

Here's a shot from the March '06 Taupo race meeting. I think it was the first big meeting on the new circuit.
They were running a bit behind time and the Pre-65's had a taste of night racing.
