Leary who raced a 240/280 Z Datsun. His home track was Sears Point
or Laguna Seca, both near San Francisco Ca. His cars were always the
class of the field

Frank was an autocrosser in the sixties and an SCCA/IMSA road racer in the
seventies. His vehicle preference for road racing was the Datsun Z car. If I
remember correctly he was sponsored by Peterson Tractor. Frank was a San Jose
resident until about 2/3 years ago when he moved to Hawaii where he lost his
life in a twin engine cargo plane he was flying.
Before Frank left S.J. I helped him clean out his garage of old Chevy parts he
had left over from his autocross Healy with Corvette power.
I would be interested in purchasing any memorabilia Frank may have had from his
autocross days that relate to my former Corvette club, CAMINO CORVETTES.
I can be reached via e mail or fax 650-938-3777.
Remembering the good times,
Roger

Didn't see my original response re. Frank Leary posted so I thought I'd try
again.
Former friend, autocrosser, SCCA and IMSA driver, and now deceased after
airplane crash approaching big island approximately 2plus years ago.
Would be interested in purchasing memorabilia related to my previous Corvette
club, CAMINO CORVETTES.
