I rode past an autocross put on by the Datsun (2,3,5)10 local group a
couple years ago and it was very sad.  A few older guys racing around
the cones and a couple people watching.  That wasn't the sad part - they
gave me a copy of the club newsletter which was a 4-6 page rant about
the newsletter writer having to do everything including writing and
publishing, putting on all events, etc. and nobody helping out.  He was
obviously burned out and I don't think anyone cared.

A few ads for totally tricked out Datsuns, I mean EVERYTHING you could
do to it, and a price of $3k or 'best offer' all runners not trailer
queens.  I have seen fewer old Datsuns than Panteras on the street and
they used to be swarms of them!
