2010 Nissan National Convention – Omaha, NE (part 5)

There was some pretty impressive iron on display at the car show. Best of Show runner-up went to a ’67 Datsun 1600 Roadster. Best of Show went to a beautifully-done KA-T powered S13 Coupe, decked out in pristine black paint. Best Engineered went to Wes Dumalski’s black B14 Sentra with a boosted SR, and the Longest Drive award went to Raul Fileto and co-pilot Cesar Delatorre, who drove out 1,573 miles from Los Angeles.

After the car show judging was done, all the Nissans lined up on the Mid-America finish line for some group pictures by our very own Justin McBee (justinmc).

As everyone was chowing down on the catered picnic, we began awarding raffle prizes. The sponsors who stepped up to support this event really deserve a special THANK YOU, so keep them in mind as you’re shopping for your next parts purchase.
