His car is .40 over . I should know this since he is using one of my old
U20 blocks.

his dash board.

He made a few comments on this , since the some of the Porsche's in his class
have four wheel disc brakes and some aluminum body parts. This is more of
a Datsun against the big money cars controversy. There is alot of money
in some of the other cars and they don't like to be beat. He is just on the
short end of the politics game. The scary part is Mark or David his son's
were not driving the car. They are both awesome drivers and would be good
for a few more seconds taken off the lap times. Mark is was the runner up
at the SCCA Run Offs in Formula Ford this was after he went of course
twice.
I have added a few photos of the car I took a few months ago.
