Wow, I didn't intend to high-jack this thread and turn it into a Car Craft lovefest . . . just hoping to encourage guys to seek out issues of Elapsed Times (shameless plug). Maybe I can clip all these comments, send them to the new-guy editor, and convince him to make ET a quarterly in 2012 -- and perhaps to raise the page rates, too . I've got plenty of ideas for articles, just need someone to print them.

But I do appreciate all of the kind comments about "Drag Racing's Incomplete Magazine." It amazes me that people still remember articles like "White Line Fever" -- I can vividly recall writing the manuscript longhand on a yellow legal tablet 36 years ago, but some days I have trouble remembering my own phone number.

And yes, I will confess that I was in Wisconsin for a race at Road America. Still racing small-block Chevys, but instead of 10-second runs, we do it for 24 hours straight at places like Le Mans with the factory Corvette Racing team. But I still have the old CC Super Mod Camaro out in the barn. Maybe someday . . .

Cheers,
Rick V.
