DRO TEAM AIMS TO HAND OUT 'PUNISHMENT'

The "Punisher" Pro Mod Team of Donnie Little and Terry Murphy have decided to head north from their regular Gateway International Raceway to the Quad Cities area in Illinois to take part in the World Series of Drag Racing this weekend.

"Yeah, we figured we'd show 'em how we do it in the big city," Little said, tongue in cheek. With backing from DRO (we provided the DRO decals), the team is sure to be competitive. Check with DRO editor, Jeff Burk, on the Cordova Raceway Park grounds for the over and under. (Jeff Burk photo) [8-26-2005]

BorgWarner Turbo Systems' AirWerks has become the exclusive turbo supplier to General Motor's Sport Compact Drag Racing program. BorgWarner began providing the boost for the GM Pro Outlaw front-wheel-drive car at the beginning of this season.

"The right turbocharger can mean the difference between winning and losing in drag racing," said Carmen Smith, Program Manager, GM Sport Compact Drag Racing. "We are pushing the envelope of front-wheel-driver, four cylinder performance, and BorgWarner's expertise in aerodynamics and turbocharger technology is absolutely invaluable." [8-25-2005]

PUBLIC SERVICE OR URBAN MYTH?

After running the bit about the National Do Not Call List, the Agent received several emails debunking this is as an Urban Myth. Perhaps so. However, over a year ago the Agent signed up his home phone for the Do Not Call List and eliminated the multitude of daily calls from telemarketers (except, of course, the telephone companies). On the road, the Agent gets quite enough legitimate business calls on his cell phone, without having to start wading through advertising too. So, make your own decision. Oops. . .right now the Agent has to go answer the phone. [8-26-2005]
