Wow, they all came out of the woodwork. I have seen (and raced with) a number of those cars, but I have never seen them all together. The #49 belongs to Steve Link, his dad was one of the engine builders for BRE, and unfortunately, just passed away. That little L18 makes 225HP,and the driver is no slouch either.

[Danfinny]

Yeah, i talked to the old man that was working on the car and he gave me the same stats, said it makes around 240hp to the crank.

I think that might be Adam's 610. The guy standing there is Les kennady.

From Classic Datsun Racing. He has built a couple cars for Adam.
