Special Report from team Kaneko...
Rotary 510 BEATS Evo, Sti and 350ZX at Time Attack race!!
If you a one of a Datsun or Rotary guys who challenge in major races and
car shows in So-Cal, you must have seen Tod Kaneko's Rotary 510, built
in super tough!
Here is the awesome short report about the 510 from Tod. The winning driver
Billy,19 years old racer is a nephew of his, he is the supernova! go Billy!
SoCalに限らず, 日本でもダットサン、ロータリーガイならまず皆みた事のあるTODの510.
長年をかけてタフに作られたレースカー、19歳の甥っ子ドライバーによって35歳の510は、
ミツビシエボ、スバルSTI,350ZXなんかをぶちぬいて堂々の3位入賞。
" This is a 35 year OLD car, My Nephew, Billy Johnson is 19 year old
and drives a car is almost twice his age!
As you know the 510 is not so good in aerodynamics (shape is like a “brick”),
We lose out on high speed cornering effect and we really do not want to
add all of that “gotty” looking wings and splitters for aerodynamic advantage.
We like to maintain the Old Skool look while beating many of the new generation
EVO, STi, and 350ZX hardware. We are all out there just to have fun and
3rd place not bad. We hope for better results with the new work plan. Right
now I am too busy with work, so I hope to have something out testing later
this year."
Special Props to “Team Kaneko” members!
