If Vette found out that we scanned it they may NEVER do another write-up. You got to be carefull with that stuff.

Thanks Ralph and all. Mackey, aren't there any Barnes and Noble or Borders over there?

It is in the February issue hitting mailboxes now and book stores soon. I did not get my copy yet.

It is part of a Royal Purple contest/thingy the did where readers were asked to send in pictures and info on their street driven weekend raced Corvette. Winner received $200 in Royal Purple products too. My 500 mile round trips to Framingham, MA and frequent racing endeavors helped.

I'd like to thank Bill Wilson for thinking of me and letting me of this contest as I had been out of the Vette Magazine loop. I have since re-subcribed. They are doing some great things for us racing Corvette owners.

It is good time to renew or subscribe NOW if you have not. In fact, check your old Raceway News, you can get a discount code for like $10 a year on it.
