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.
