C110 in Use

No, not mine.  Sadly.

However, recent postings by brocky41 of both datsun.co.nz and oldschool.co.nz fame, have brought forth video of a certain KHGC110 that races in the North Island.  I’d seen the car on trademe initially, a few years back, just as a road car.  Subsequently I saw a few pictures of it via Snoozin who helps out at the Manfeild track, marshalling and such, given him the perfect place to take photographs.  However, as nice (though somewhat plain) as it looked in photographs, seeing and hearing it in motion via brocky41‘s video postings, is a different sensation entirely.  So I thought that seeing as I’m on a bit of a C110 mission with my own at the moment, I’d use it as further inspiration as well as share it with you.  So enjoy the few video’s and pictures that I do have and if you live in the NI, go see it race and commend the chap on his choice of car.

On-track

..and again... but, how does it sound?

…like this;

…but how on earth does a 240KGT sound like that you ask?  Oh… that’ll be because of what’s hiding under the bonnet;

Triples and Headers, what a familiar sight they will become.

Thanks to Snoozin and brocky41 for the pictures and video.  Cheers guys.

Hopefully it won’t be too much longer (still will be) before my own 110 is sounding as epic, though hopefully mine will look a little nicer, or at least in a style I prefer. Ooooh, it’s exciting!
