Other Info:
Currently we are working on improving the suspension. We have taken this car to several autocross events and have received many comments on it's authenticity. Over the summer Mr. C took pictures of our car and showed them to John Morton, the driver of the original BRE car.
Mr. C at speed down the front straight at Thunderhill Raceway Park, Willows CA.
Guest driver, Greg Nowell, powers up the hill at the All Datsun Meet, Mt Shasta, CA.
