MANAGEMENT SHUFFLE UP NORTH
Both IHRA national-event tracks in southern
Ontario, Canada announced management changes
this week, with Grand Bend Motorplex (GBM) naming
Korey Herman as its new competition director,
and Toronto Motorsports Park (TMP) appointing
Mike Bennett its track manager. Herman has worked
at GBM since it opened in 1995, and Bennett
is the co-founder and president of the Ontario
Street Car Association. The Agent wishes both
good luck in their new positions. [4-15-2004]
BUY A T-SHIRT, HELP A FAMILY
 Longtime
Alky Funny Car competitor Billy Williams is
still in a long term recovery process after
his bad crash a couple of years ago at Rockingham
Dragway. Basically the medical system has bankrupted
the family in their efforts to get him well.
There's a long involved story about this, but
here's the bottom line -- Top Fuel racer Doug
Herbert quietly has a program where every penny
of the purchase price of one of his "DougZilla"
T-shirts goes to Williams' wife to help defray
expenses. Got an extra
$10
bucks? Buy a shirt. You'll feel better for it.
The Agent bought his. To order a shirt go to
www.DougHerbert.com.
Do it right now! [4-13-2004]
GILBERTSON'S GOT SOUL
Clothing company Caribbean Soul will be the
major sponsor on Bob Gilbertson's Funny Car
at the NHRA national events in Houston, Bristol
and Atlanta. The clothing line features
parrots, lizards, and iguanas, among other tropical
motifs. The Caribbean Soul lizard will adorn the
sides and hood of Gilbertson's car. [4-13-2004]
