Mad Greek Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Old Datsun nut from the USA, Spokane, WA. I have owned a '67 2000 roadster for over 25 years, but have recently gotten into Z's the last 8 years or so. I own 2) '74 260's. One is a resto-rod project, the other is an endurance race car. I started an amateur race team "Mad Greek Racing," and I am in the middle of my 5th season racing the endurance car, and that consumes most of my spare time In the course of racing, I have broken, bent, or destroyed pretty much every piece on one of these cars. I have learned a fair amount about making a reasonable amount of power from these engines on a very modest budget. I look forward to chatting with you folks.

CBR Jeff Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Welcome Andy I'm looking forward to seeing some more pics of your cars. Spokane is in a nice part of the world and not far from one of my favourite play grounds, Silver Star mountain. Jeff Mad Greek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Greek Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 This is a video my son made of our racing exploits. It is a fun watch (I think) gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 What a great intro Andy. That video your son put together gives us a great insite into your many years of Datsun passion, and your love for the sport. I loved it. I think you and I would be great mates at a race meeting. Nice work cheers Gordo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Greek Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thanks for making me feel so welcome, Gordo! I am sure you and I could be mates if we lived a few thousand miles closer! I would love to visit your country some day. You Aussies are well known as a fanatical bunch of gear-heads! (my kind of folks). I have a close friend who races white water endurance jet boats, here in the US, and in Canada. Jet boat racing is a sport you Aussies pretty much invented. Have you ever been to the States? Kind regards, Andy K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Best bit is the Datsun 2000, but, i am a bit biased! Have recently retired from 20 odd years of circuit racing and rallying, We're a pretty good bunch of blokes on here, you'll fit right in. One of our guys has been in Oregon, but now down in San Diego, catching up with Mick Spreadbury, the Scoville's, and a few other Roadster guys there. Yep, he's a racer too!
