May 8, 200717 yr comment_208864 Hi Mark:Thanks for the pictures... it is simply wonderful to see a Datsun 240-Z at the front of the pack 38 years after it's introduction. Maybe it's just me - but I hate to see "NISSAN" on a DATSUN 240-Z here in the States. I wonder how much money he is getting from NISSAN for the advertising? Maybe we could offer him more to put DATSUN back on the car..regards,Carl B.

May 8, 200717 yr comment_208891 I suspect that the entire hood just lifts off Greg's car - no need for the extra weight of the hinge mechanism - but it sure looks odd to see those hold downs near the leading edge as well as at the back.

Nissan does require their name on the car as shown as part of the requirements for payout on National wins.
