from Brad holmes to SEROC members and er'one else.....
Dear SEROCers

Due to our club being featured in the January issue of Classic
Motorsports we've had a very nice response and have gotten to meet
and sign up several new members. Thanks to Bill MacDonald at CMS
for the article in the Jan. issue. It's on the news stands now.
Please go out and buy several copies like I did:-)

Road Atlanta, Mitty '06 is getting close and if you haven't made
your hotel arrangements, you'd best do it now. You may also camp at
RA. Many of our members camp. Below are several URLs for places to
stay in the area. A lot of us stay at the Hampton Inn, in
Gainesville, GA.

The '06 Mitty is getting BIGGER every week. This is a " MUST DO"
weekend. More specials from CMS to come.
One of our new members Rex Birkmire from Orlando, FL is going to
bring his Silvia. How many of you have ever seen one, other than
maybe a picture? Rex, is die hard Datsun owner and is the founder
of www.nicoclub.com. He shared some Silvia info with me. As you may
not know the Silvia was built on the roadster chassis.

Brad: Yeah, the spl311 is very rare and it took a long time for me
to find one! I will be bringing the Silvia to The Walter Mitty for
sure. I just had it in Atlanta for the NOPI Nationals and it won first
place in the "Asian Classic" class. I bought it out of Japan this year, from the original owner who is
a retired Nissan executive. It has 22, 000 original miles and it is all original.
They only made 544 and all stayed in Japan except for roughly 40 that went to Australia. Really neat story behind the
creation of the car. As far as the USA is concerned there is only 3. Les has the Hawaiian one that is in real rough shape and there is a guy in Indy I tracked down that has one of the ones that was a
police car. I'd be glad to have you spread the word about my Silvia
coming to the Mitty. Good promo....

Rex also shared a great contact for those of in the Lakeland, FL
area and need some work done on your car.

I have one resource to add to your list. Bill Harvey, is in Lakeland, Florida...has been a roadster guru for years...has a lot
of them sitting around with some parts....he does great work and is
very honest. He is a veteran Datsun Mechanic..as good as any in the
USA...he has a 2000 autocross car that is the Florida state
champion in the modified class. He is not an Internet guy but he is
very nice. His tel number is 863-688-1164.

Thanks for the great info Rex, I can't wait to see your Silvia.
I 'd like to welcome all our new members that have joined during
this past year. SEROC is now up to around 175 members.

See you at RA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad
