View all snibborddot's Datsun 1200
This isn’t my car anymore . But I used to own and raced it a couple of years ago at Waterford Hills a small road coarse north of Detroit Mi . This was absolutely the most frustrating and absolutely most fun car I have ever raced . I really wish I still had it . This car was built back in the early 80’s as an SCCA GT-5 racecar and was built from the Datsun Competition B-Sedan blueprints . It’s a partial tube chassis/tub car with fiberglass hood , fenders , doors and trunk lid . Engine was the A-series 1200 with twin 44mm Mikuni carbs . This engine would pull 8900 rpm all day long . Did I mention I wished that I still had this car ? www.waterfordhills.com

- Dad used to race a 77 200sx in ITB. The experience seemed similar to yours. Incredibly frustrating and run at the same time.

- Looks like it’s in SoCal now. That’s the Streets of Willow track behind Willow Springs. I like the flares.

- I love these older cars like this! This one has always been one of my favorites.

huh?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
