The project is to build a club car that can be used by financial members of the SDC for the purpose of driver training and to gain access into entry level motorsports events held by CAMS affiliated clubs.

Mark Peacock has donated a 1600 to the club, to be built from the ground up with the financial assistance of a $5000 CAMS grant and Club Car Sponsors, and assembled by members of the SDC.

The project is to build a 1600 sedan to be used in all types of motorsport events such as skid pan, motorkhana's (dirt and tar), khanacross, dirt club rally events and tarmac sprints, where every club member can gain valuable driving techniques as well as having a good time getting involved in a datsun.

The Club car will be basic in mods and period to the vehicles era (1970's).
Mandatory safety mods will include full bolt in roll cage, a pair of approved seats ( sparco or velo numbers should do the trick), 6 point harness' and helmets.
