Eddie,
I was there that day with about seven other guys. Jay was
scooting down the mt, saw us congregating in the parking lot, turned around
and came up to see us. He did tell us that his first sports car was a Datsun
1600. The pic is of his custom car, I believe it was powered by a 750 MC
engine. I don't think the entire car even weighed 1/2 ton! Here's some crude
pics.

Hey Eddie,
The Socal Roadster guys ran into him on one of their mountain runs years ago.
I thought
he mentioned he had owned one. Does anyone have the photos that were taken
during that
run ??
Mike
