The little yellow Datsun, very well known here as the “Pineapple” never fails to impress!
With Tim in the pilot seat rowing gears (yes it’s a manual) and not the least bit shy when it comes to launching the ute off the flame shooting two step straight up onto the back wheels, the car definitely grabs your attention!
The car is a regular competitor in the Motorplex Drag Racing Series, and if you’ve watched any of our Outlaw Radial Championship videos you would be very familiar with this car.
If you haven’t seen it before and you love your rotor action you need to check this one out, another weapon from the WA Racing Developments Stables and tuned by Mike (The Rotary Yoda – if there ever was to be one).
