Andy;
Sure sounds like fun. If you have any pics I'd like to see. Back when I
was a kid my uncle owned a Datsun dealership in PA and ran DP in SCCA. Of
course our Roadsters weren't 'Vintage' racers then.

It's an E Prepared autocross car. It has 12.5 to 1 Jahns pistons, head
work, 44mm mikunis, and a 296 degree solexII cam. I have a 3 gallon fuel
cell that will empty after 6 runs of about 1 mile each. At full throttle it
really sucks the gas. Imagine pouring a gallon of milk out through a straw
over the course of 1 minute. I used to test the car around the block and on
a 5 mile country drive but after the 4th time of running out of gas I
decided to stay closer to home. That and the nice police man who told me to
stop doing it. I don't think he could belive it when he pulled me over. He
saw no lights, horn, windshield, tags, wipers, and slick tires that say in
big letters "Not For Highway Use". I filled up and drove off before he
could decide what to do.
Andy
