Datsuns around Bend event August 26th thru 28th

[Laecaon]

The name just leaves a sour taste. He doesn't have a good name, a terrible reputation. Why support someone who isn't exactly a team player. I disliked datslocos before there was datslocos Oregon. Also why not a more original name? Adding Oregon to that is like adding random numbers to the end of a screen name. Then there is the whole problem of canby weekend. That doesn't help.

Probably would be more appealing if the group had a different name and separated from the California group.

Also, get a website where information can be found. Facebook is terrible for all things except immediate answers.

And everything flatcat said.

Thank you for your reply. As I told Flatcat,I have never met Datsloco,(the Person ). I haven't been out of Oregon, since Datslocos Oregon was formed. As for why we are named the way we are. That is probably a question better answered by Albert (Denmark Boy) ,since he is the person who started the club,& has done the bulk of the work building our club, paying alot of the running costs,much of the Canby truck project out of his own pocket. I was very honored to be asked to lead a regional group. I put alot of effort into the club,& continue to do so. A few months ago I was promoted to Vice President, because of my work for our club. Again, I felt very honored.
We have had a few rough patches. One being all the stupid drama over the Canby truck, & the other being the difficulty over our event being the same weekend as Canby. I was not part of that decision, but I can assure you all that the date chosen was strictly a matter of jumping on the opportunity to hold a big event, at a great location. It is my personal goal to make the best of the situation this year,& hopefully coordinate with the leadership of Datsuns NW, in order to provide an even better couple of shows next year, & in the future. We will also continue to support the Blue Lake show, & Datsuns around Bend, plus any other events we can.

If you're not interested in actually getting out & doing things in your Datsun, & prefer to just sit home & look at it sitting in your garage......

Eh, hem...been daily driving it for a few months now.

Gatoland was at the end of March. Brought lots of datsuns together just for the giggles of doing so.


Excellent representation of your clique. Kudos.

[Loren O]

That was meant as a little ribbing to the trailer queen crowd. It was not specifically directed at you (flatcat),or anyone else in particular .
We held a spring Fun Run recently. A few people didn't participate because it was a little rainy. Having grown up in Oregon, I am quite used to rain. I drive my '70 Goon every day, rain or shine. So I have a tendency to tease the people who only drive thier Datsuns on Sunny days. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

[Laecaon]

Better coordination would be to cancel and make everyone go to one event... then all the cars could be in one spot...

I half planning on making my car a dry weather only car. Planning on too much horsepower for wet roads.

[Loren O]

To each thier own I suppose. As much as it rains here,it would be rough for mine to be a dry weather only car. Is it sunny more often where you are?

[Loren O]

As for the shows,cancelling one is out but I will be campaigning for separate weekends, so that everyone is more encouraged to go to both. Honestly, I can't promise anything. We will have to wait & see.

[flatcat19]

My opinion to that...it should have been planned as far away from Canby as it could.


One hoopla to start the summer. One hoopla to end it.


I'd love to have a decent Datsun event here, TriCities, mid-september or so.
Great way to end the year before our cars get packed away for the winter.

[Loren O]

Where is TriCities?

Flatcat what about plans to cruise the eburg - Yakima canyon?x

[flatcat19]

Flatcat what about plans to cruise the eburg - Yakima canyon?x

Something like that sounds like a blast.

We can talk later aboot it. Text me.
If you don't have my number, get it from Issac.

[Dat1977]

It does dude. I've found more Datsun owners here in Yakima, been talking to them and they're down to join the meets and cruise around too. (310, 620 std cab and a b210 hatch). I'll ask Isaac for your number.

[Loren O]

So,does this mean that there is a possibility of another Datsun event ,this one being in Washington? I don't care who runs it,or what club/no club puts it on. The more Datsun related activities the better, in my personal opinion.

[flatcat19]

Yeah. Equal to the last Datsun event I had in March....that was held in Washington.

[Loren O]

Yeah,I wanted to go to that! Are you going to have that going again next year? If I know far enough In advance I might be able to go.
