[Shotimes] Daytona 500

[Zach Leahy]

He does have quite a nice collection including I believe 4 Duesenbergs in
the 500,000 dollar range.  He is actually usually to be found somewere at
the Auburn-Cord-Deusenberg meet/festival/auction every fall.  I hear a lot
about him since in addition to the Deusey's he has several other Auburn's
and Cords... And he drives them himself in everday situations (like down the
freeway to work).  Neat guy, I had the opportunity to meet him once.... but
it was pretty impersonal.
