Trans-Am 2.5 Challenge video and article



I recently purchased the following video due to an interest in this racing 
series.

<snip>
Against All Odds is a videotape conversion of the classic 30-minute 16mm 
film produced in the early 70's to show Nissan's racing heritage. It 
chronicles the success of the BRE race team during the 71-72 Trans-Am season 
as the 510 came from behind to snatch the 2.5 Trans-Am Challenge series from 
the established competitors. Professional photography and narration includes 
interviews with Brock and Morton, scenes from the BRE race shop, and a 
surprise ending. It's really an amazing story, as those of you who have seen 
it will agree! I have permission from Nissan to offer copies to 510 owners 
for personal use.
If you want one or more of these videos (NTSC Video Standard) for your 
collection, send a check or money order for $10 each, payable to:

First-class mailing for quick delivery.
Any other questions, you can reach me at datsrex@domain.elided or 650-961-1618

The video is strongly biased towards Datsun (no surprise here) but is well 
worth the $10 for some rare Alfa GTA vs. Datsun 510 (Kwech vs. Morton) 
racing footage.

Also, for Alfa racing fans there is an article from R&T (1/72) on the TA 2.5 
Challenge at: <<http:/dimequarterly.tierranet.com/2.5_challenge.html>>

If any of the digesti have other sources of info on this racing series 
(either online or off) please contact me off-digest.

No financial interest, blah, blah, blah...
