In 1974, FAR Performance 260Z piloted by Walt Maas in front of the Huffaker V12 E-Type.

Met Jim & his Wife, nice couple, when working as a Pit Marshal at a 12hr race at Nelson Ledges quite a few years ago. They lived not too far from me in N. Royalton, Oh. I remember going to Breyley Datsun after I was discharged in early 72 to purchase my 240Z, no luck with that idea. They wanted the $1000 down and wait 6-9 month deal. I ended up buying one from Stang Motors, Elyria, Oh, only $100 down and waited a week.

Thanks for sharing Fred. Do you know where Jim is today? I found this info thinking it may be him, just not sue of his age or wifes name.
