Welcome--from Bob Sharp--Having become a consultant to Nissan Darien last September and re-meeting Ross Williams shortly thereafter and attending his well done year end Car Show and cook-out, I have enjoyed working with Bill Steinmetz and Ross. My involvement with Datsun began in 1963. I was chosen to race the semi-factory backed Datsun 1500 Roadster (Fairlady), to be raced by Greenwich-- Rambler-Datsun Dealer- Paul Bruk & Son. In 1964, I started Bob Sharp Racing (as a factory-backed Race Team) and fielded a Datsun 1500 and a Datsun 1600..To shorten a 10 page essay---this led to Datsun 2000's--Datsun 240 Z's and 510's, Turbo 300's, a Monster 940 HP IMSA-GT Racer.--Jim Fitzgerald, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, Walter Payton, Sam Posey, and my son Scott Sharp--were years of "fun history"...I will look forward to discussing many of these experiences with you...thanks...Bob Sharp

Really glad to have you aboard, Bob. You bring me memories of better days.
Somewhere in my piles of old photos I have a reasonably good snapshot of you drifting either the Clubhouse at The Glen or a hard right at Elkhart Lake, pursued by a snarling swarm of BMWs. I've been searching for it since I met you in April. If I come across it I'll share.
