WINTER 2013 ~ ISSUE 123


January 21st:  Issue 123 was uploaded to the printer before sunrise this morning.  It should take about two weeks before this issue is in the hands of the post office.  It's jam-packed with your event and car articles.  I couldn't get every contribution into this issue, but if yours didn't make it, you'll see it in the Spring issue.   This issue's contents include:

My thanks to J.R. Bloom for his historic drag racing photos from both Lions and Beeline.  When you get your copy, see if you can figure out who the guys/cars are in the cover photo.  Judging by the Isky shirt in the foreground, this shot is either from '65 or '66.  1965 is my guess.

I'll give you a heads-up when this issue is in the hands of the USPS. Thanks!
