Same story different people

Great story on Gracie Howell. Just for everyone's information Bill Howell is one of my major backer of the stats beside Jeg's. Without Bill's help and friendship i wouldn't be doing this gig.

And hey my son comes home from Afghanistan next month and I know nothing will be said about it, And no biggie, we are just damn glad to see him get back in one piece. He already did 2 years in Iraq before that.

I need to make a fresh bowl of popcorn for this one..............

Ed Carpenter · 10-11-2010, 07:48 PM

I think there is a sponsor Howell printing are they part of that?

Mike Carr · 10-11-2010, 07:56 PM

I agree with Hemikid, it would be nice to see some of the lesser-known racers get some ink as well.

J Kuchel · 10-11-2010, 08:13 PM

I agree with Hemikid too. I don't think it's jealousy I think we are tired of reading about the same racers all the time. I would like to read about some engine builders and some racers like Brian Oakes, or the Armstrong's. It is just my opinion , but I have nothing against the people that they have written about in the past.

Nito Joe, it will be a big thing when your son get's home, tell him welcome home from all of us. CR

Nitro Joe, please pass along a big "thank you" from us to your son. We really appreciate his service to our country. He is a genuine American hero.

After this weekend's race at Maple Grove, I'd suggest the next sportsman racer story be on Ed Fernandez. I believe that on the hood of his Gremlin it reads "powered by social security". You can't get anymore low budget than that. Here's a guy with a slower, lower classed car enjoying a fair level of success in NHRA class racing. Who wouldn't like that story?

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham

Joe I think you have a great idea! 'Ol Ed deserves a page on him in the mag! Jim

Our thanks go out to your son.

Take Care,

Daren

If anyone has a suggestion for a racer who you believe should be profiled on DRC, send in the suggestion. To do so, go to the Home page and on the bottom of the masthead, you'll see a link for "Feedback." Click on that link, fill out the form and send it in. The Feedback will go to Rick Green at DRC. Or, you can send suggestions to me at jsamuel@fastnews.net and I will forward them on.
