Thanks for posting this. I have been a long-time crew member for the white Datsun 2000, and this was a good opportunity to see the race from your perspective. Nice smooth driving on your part. See you at the Glen!

Saw on SVRA's site that the Datsun was sold. I'm sure we'll run against it again, but you guys were always fun to watch. Always on the charge.

Forgot to add. The Datsun 2000 won after the Super 7 was penalized one spot for passing him under yellow in the Heel on the last lap. Great drive by him.

thanks for the reply, hoffman

Looks like the TR4 dashboard was slightly personnalised!?

Also, the MGB guy is a killer;

@MrTRguy

It's a fabricated aluminum dash.

Great panting game.

Sorry for my ignorance, I can't recognize the car?

Dick Tillinger (white Datsun 2000) has retired from racing. He sold the race car to Mike Unger who has been campaigning a red 1972 240Z in 8CP for the last several years. Mike is returning the car to its original livery (red) and will be at the Glen in Group 3 in a couple of weeks. See you there!
