You might be interested in these Roadster photos from Fort Sill in 1967 at an
autocross. My dad and Grandfather were stationed there.

>In 1967, I was about to graduate from the U.S Army Artillery OCS at Ft.
>Sill, Oklahoma. One Saturday, I and a couple of friends visited the Datsun
>dealer in Lawton. I ended up buying a 1600 roadster. It was a kind of
>rose/silver color with a black top and interior.

>I loved that little car, and I am sure I would still own it if my then
>wife hadn't hated it (she was pregnant at the time).

>I have wanted one ever since. As I have gotten older, I now have different
>goals for it, however. I am an avid drag racer and would love to try my
>hand at autocrossing. The car will see little street use (I live on a
>rough dirt road, so driving it much is out of the question). In addition,
>my wife used to work for Bob Bondurant in the late 60s when they got in
>some roadsters and 510s. She will probably be the primary pilot.

>Her present ride is a 9 second Olds Cutlass, with which she has won lots
