Wow!! I thought the course they run at the All Datsun meet was tight... That
car looked a little strange.  The front wheels looked to be set at a crazy
angle (is it toe-in, toe-out??) with the tops of the wheels way inboard and
the bottoms way outboard.  Do they just run slicks in the rear?  Seems like
the guy was just punching the throttle and getting the rear end to break
loose at will?  Wouldn't that require giant amounts of power or really
slippery tires or a really slippery course?  They must go thru a set of
tires a weekend doing that.
        There was a guy doing that with a V-8 Z at the last all datsun meet.
I think his time was really fast too.

$I guess the cars are a little smaller and the insurance regs a little less
$intrusive. Check out the trees,
$curbs, and fences.
