Thanks for all the good words.

There will be errors from time to time, as we get moving pretty quickly from class to class during the latter rounds of an event. As I said before, if you do see an error, let me know so I can correct it.

Thanks for going to DRC so much,

Jim

Throw my hat in too. I check DRC daily and probably seen more misprints in the legacy publications. Also DRC covers events and photos in WAY better detail than ND or the magazines ever wish they could. So I agree we have become spoiled. DAMN great job Jim!!!!!!!

Yeah, like the time my friend Denny Reed won the Mile Hi Nationals, after trying to win a national event for twenty years, and the headline on the National Dragster Stocker page read, "Denny FORD" (a Camaro racer at the time; Denny Reed's car was a Mustang) wins Stock at Denver."

Do you think that after 20+ years of running NHRA events, faithfully, He (Denny Reed) was offered a correction (after I TOLD them at ND) ?


NOPE... not a word...

A class act.... NOT.

Insofar as Fast News goes, reporting a race is a TON of work, involving much time and effort. That WE get it for FREE, is a minor miracle, especially, considering its excellence and near comprehensive nature.

I used to wait WEEKS; sometimes MONTHS (there was no National Dragster in the fifties) for race reports (such as they were) in Hot Rod magazine.

So you can imagine how much ~I~ appreciate what these guys do for us....

When Larry Sullivan and his partner started up this trackside ("real time"???) reporting, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven...

Kudos to all involved in the ongoing and timely production of the very excellent "FAST NEWS" from DRC!!!! And, don't sweat the small stuff....
