Obviously, here at CDM we have vested interest in seeing that the supply
of Datsun parts continues.
As I write this, Les is winging his way to Japan to try and find out if
something can be done. He even spoke with Mr. K last evening before he
left and faxed him a letter stating our concerns. While Mr. K is no
longer active at Nissan, he does know the right people. Hopefully,
something can be done.
While in Japan, Les will be attending the SP/SROC 25th Anniversary Meet at
Mt. Fuji Speedway. I sent him with two digital cameras so "maybe" he will
get a picture or two that I will post to our site next week.
