The rest of you are going to have to buy them for $2.00 each (cheap -- and no shipping charges) and not whine about the fact you didn’t get a freebie!

STILL SEARCHIN'

ADVERTISEMENT

As the Coasters sang in 1957, "I been searchin'" and that’s what AMS/TLR Pro Mod Challenge Champ Mike Ashley says he’s been doing.

In an interview on the SIRIUS Satellite "Speedway" motorsports show this week Ashley said he's got about 75 percent of the funding needed for keeping the NHRA door open for Pro Mods in 2006 including a TV package.

Ashley said that it's looking good for the remaining money required and he'll make an announcement by January 15th. [1-04-2006]

TINSLEY UPDATE

The Agent has received some good news on the condition of photographer Jeff Tinsley, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year. Word from one of Tinsley's colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, is that the tumor has shrunk from the size of a lemon to that of a pencil eraser.

The doctors aren't sure exactly why the tumor shrunk, but those of us who know Tinsley are taking this as a very special Christmas present. (DRO file photo) [1-04-2006]

 

SPEEDWAY/DRAGSTRIP HISTORY The Agent received a copy of Allan E. Brown's "The History of America's Speedways Past & Present." Brown has been publishing the indispensable National Speedway Directory since 1975. The book has over 700 black and white photos, some current and some historical, of drag strips and circle tracks from each of the 50 states and Canada. At about $30 it's a bargain. If you're interested, contact speedways@dnx.net and tell him the Agent sent you. [1-04-2006]
