    Well, they have a shot of my 67 GS in the Feb. 08 Car Craft (page 92). That was the race I won in Georgia. They just have me living in the wrong state. Should be Tennesse. Goes to show you can never fully trust the media.

    Will if I really wanted to "show off", I could change it to "Nostaglia Super Stock World Champion" since I just got that award at the NMCA program Friday night in Orlando at the PRI show.

    Mike, they had my address WRONG!! I still live in Columbia Tennesse. Guess that shows you how much you can trust the media sometimes. Glad to be in there but wish they could have gotten it right. Yes, that was a big win for us. We went on to the Memphis race and won the season Championship.

    Jim-Congrats for representing "our Buicks" well. I have never won a race compairable to what you won,but I know the feeling of have a car in a national magazine. Mine was in April 96 Bracket Racing USA.I would make sure that you get well paid for the name on your 1/4 panels(Evans Racing Engines),just kidding. You and your Mrs. made me feel so welcome at Indy a few years ago and you have always took time to talk and share ideas with me.I quess that Santa came early for you. Mike Nussell

    Jim- I am taking the car to the BPG in 08. Hopefully you can make it.I am just testfitting everything before painting.We got excellent numbers for my "little engine" and am excited to get to drive it. Make sure Charlie pays for the name on the 1/4 panels. Mike

    It was just a small picture with caption where I won the NMCA race in Atlanta back in Sept. They had the et in the final and had my home state wrong. The last 2 Fastest Street Car magazine has had a couple of articles on me that's not bad. One was 4 pages and the other 1 page.

    Jim,congratulations on the wins and the mag mention.I would have to agree with Nate,Car Craft is fairly good at printing corrections.Like Nate also mentioned,send some more pics and the new Title.Maybe we'll get a whole page of Buick to look at:beer .
