283VZ Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I went to the Rim of the world rally today in my hometown of Lancaster,Ca. Bummer though, the Rim stages couldn't be run this year maybe never again..30+ years of racing tradition reduced to a fair exibition. there was a display of old event shirts. I wanted to buy one so bad, but just for display. My only decent action shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
283VZ Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 This is a cut & paste from another site I browse.

"Jim Connor won the Baja 1000 in his mini truck." But I don't know the year. I'm new here, but a friend pointed me to this thread. I thought some might be interested in seeing the BRE Baja Z as it stands today. After a six year search, and a three year wait... I am restoring the BRE Baja Z to it's "as raced" condition (or as close as possible to that). The pictures of the BRE 510/Z and the 69 510 Baja car on DatsunHisory.com are I'm sure - from Les Cannaday's shop - Classic Datsun Motorsports. Les and I searched for the BRE Baja Z for many, many years and very lucky for me, Les had his shop full of cars when he found the Baja Z... so he let me buy it. It's not quite done yet... but getting very close... The entire process has been a load of fun and helped along by many good people... Of course Mr. Brock still has a very active interest in the Baja and Off-Road racing and has been a great help in my efforts on this project. For What It's Worth Carl B.
