I agree - 510 guys are just as much fun a us Roadster guys. So, if you have
a 510 you don't want you can donate it to the Phil Hall Wants a 510
Foundation - or PHW510F. My Roadsters really want a brother:) And my wife
will not let me get anymore 2 seat sports cars - the next car must have 4
seats - believe me - she is serious!

As an owner of one of each kind of car, I have always found both groups
to be very friendly and helpful. We both enjoy are cars for similar
reasons, great racing heritages, affordable performance and a strong
national and global network of people always willing to lend a helping
hand.
The schism that formed around the Mt Shasta shows was more about
organizational differences, from my knowledge, then about a dislike of a
fellow Datsun enthusiast. Unfortunately there is some rumor always
floating around that there is great animosity between the two groups.
In my experience it is only a rumor.
You might be surprised at how many Roadster guys have a 510 lurking in
there garages and vice a versa.

Gary,
I guess you have not heard the TRUE story behind the Mt Shasta All
Datsun Meet (unless you are a Roadster driver and decide to have your
own show) story. Rumor has it that the Dimes are not the ones with the
noses in the air at get togethers.
Kind of cold here today....ready to bask in the warmth of the flames....

BRE = Brock Racing Enterprises, big time Datsun races of yore, running
giant slayer Datsun 510s (maybe that's why the five and dime folks are
so snobby - so I've heard - at datsun get-togethers?).
