Datsun Racing Team - 1967

Duane Feuerhelm (centre) is seen with four times US national SCCA champion Dan Parkinson (left) and Lee Herbert (right) in their 'Datsun Racing Team' 1600 roadsters before the  start of the 1967 race season.

The Datsun Racing Team was a factory funded effort on the West Coast, campaigned by team boss Duane Feuerhelm from his Granada Hills Calif. Datsun and Triumph dealership.  Duane was soon selling factory competition parts on the west coast to budding Datsun champions and he and Jon Woodner later raced the team's cars -  that was until the unofficial Datsun team of Jack Scoville and Pete Brock's BRE outfit started to achieve consistently better results.
