1967 Datsun 2000 Sport Convertible

This 1967.5 Datsun Roadster was sold through Dick Roberts (then President of Nissan Motorsports) to Gerry Mason Sr. with Gerry racing out of the Central Region with the SCCA. Gerry competed with the likes of Bob Sharp and Peter Brock (BRE) for the 1968 & 1969 Championship in D Production. Gerry qualified this car but did not compete at the SCCA Nationals in 1969 and 1970.

In 1970 Gerry sold the car to 'Augie' Auguest Englehardt. Augie competed with this car in the SCCA Steel Cities Region from 1970 to 1981 in D Production.

Augie quit racing in 1981 and this car languished for 10 years in Augie's barn until 1991. Augie sold the car to Bruce Konsugar in 1991 and Bruce converted this car back into a street car and painted the car red. Bruce drove this car on the street from 1994 to 2001.

In 2001 Bruce sold SRL #305 to Bob Davis who took advantage of the red paint scheme and not only restored this Roadster back to a race car but borrowed the famous Bob Sharp Livery and campaigned this car on the East Coast from 2003 to late 2004. Bob sold the car to its current owner - Ron Carter - in March of 2005, and this car now competes in small bore production vintage races with HSR West, HMSA, VARA and GRL.
