 Datsuns handle." >>

When I saw him out at Buttonwillow (NASA event) he had just stuck big rear 
f/g flairs on his MGB. So I guess he didn't feel competitive in VARA 
either...those flairs aren't legal in VARA. I hear he also tried 
SCCA....once. 

For not having run one race yet, we be bad ain't we?
