Coronado Vintage Races
Adam Carolla and the Professor Sandy Ganz cover the Coronado Vintage Race with Adam driving his Datsun 610 and delivering the commentary for the in-car cameras. Some pre-race discussion and then right into the run. After the race, we jump on the phone with some user questions. We wrap up with this weeks tech tip, “Tire patches and You”.

Way to go Aceman on JKLive with the joke on the backpack, Lamborghini Murcielago paint Scuderia Red! Pretty sure Furruchio Lamborghini turned in his grave hearing that, hahaha. Funny as always though, go BRE Datsun…

I approve 100% of this ep!
Love the In car flim ! How long till the next race.
Also glad that suit looks great on Adam
Love the trouble with how to drink water with the helmet on. How did you not mention that during the commentary!
Awesome video of the racing. Editing is very well done.
That thing you did with the the tire we used to call a “tubeless tire patch.” I hope you pointed out that you can’t do that to a tire that has a tube in it. My dad owned a service station and we used to do that while the wheel was on the car. The trick is to keep the air pressure up so the hole constricts onto the plug and seals it.
Yeah, we did it off the wheel so you could see the inside, and for the most part unless your running something vintage you won’t have that tube but good to mention. Funny thing is that the wire wheels that are floating around the shop all use tubes but Ace always just says to give it a try without and it never works.

I am not big into cars but I am into comdey.. Enjoy all your work
Wow that 610 sounds incredible in the videos. Looks like a lot of fun out there.
Great show! Could we see a picture of Adam’s new Datsun racing suit? Thanks guys!
I have some photos before I shipped

Thank you! That looks really good!
I’m thinking that mystery car with the Cortina taillights may have been a TVR Griffith. Do a Google search for “TVR Griffith rear”
and there’s one small pic on page 3.
It was a TVR Griffith, I checked the race finish and the car was just listed as a TVR, but that is it.

Might be a dumb question, but why does the sandwich board on the main image say the Datsun is a Sedan?
The race group was called B-Sedan, not I guess they lump all those cars together, I think Sedan is a loose term that fits the car as well since its not like a coupe which has limited seating in the rear, the rear of the 610 could hold a couple of small kids 😉

Great footage and editing! Ace needs to get the 610 out to more vintage races next year.
Also, regarding the “dog-leg” transmission shift pattern, it’s designed like that for faster shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear where most of the action occurs when racing.
I own a PV122 Volvo, a newer and “sportier” incarnation of the 544, which ended in 1963. The Volvo 2litre is good for 200hp or so with 2 Webers on it. I know the dude with the Volvo at Coronado. The problem with it is not the build, but the weight of the car. It weighs 2700lbs or more in stock form, Also, this is a decade older car than Adam is running. PV1800 is a much better racing car. I know, Volvo and racing!
