President's Corner: By Jim Miller.
  Last week I got an e-mail from Jamie Barter from down-under. He had attached some old lakes photos he had bought and said we could use the shots for the AHRF. I sent him a reply and said thanks. He sent another e-mail a few days later showing a car he was in the process of building. He said he was inspired by Chuck Spurgin's pre-war Chevy lakes roadster. Being familiar with the car I dug into my late father's old
scrapbook that just happened to have a shot of Chuck's car in it and sent it off to Jamie. That's what's cool about doing the history thing, you meet all these other car nuts that like oddball stuff like I do. 

Editorial: Our President, Jim Miller, brings up a very good point, one that we have discussed before and is worth discussing over and over again. Just who is the HOLDER of records for land speed racing. It is fractured, with the FIA only concerned with records that they have sanctioned. Other organizations brought in to time the events recognize only those records they were hired by the racer to record. Thus the SCCA, USAC, AAA, NHRA, NASCAR, SCTA, Mojave Timing Association, FIA, Russetta Timing Association, Bell Timing Association, Western Timing Association, Muroc Timing Association and hundreds of local, international and national groups claim a share in reporting on numerous meets within the last 100 years. Many of these sanctioning bodies are defunct, with their records lost or buried in some dusty archive. No one takes responsibility for accumulating ALL the runs, record or not, into one database that is accurate and officially recognized. Thus, only the most recent records and those that have been written about are remembered. With today's electronic and computerized programs, it shouldn't be an impossibility to record all the times and have them made public. I realize that in doing so there would be hundreds of thousands of slow and unimportant times in the 70's and 80's mph category. But those runs meant something very special to those that tried to go as fast as they could and for THOSE days, it really was an exceptional time. Nevertheless, whether it was a 600 mph run or a 60 mph time, all the statistics should be recorded. If baseball can tell you when a half-blind, one-legged center-fielder made a back-handed catch going to his right, then we ought to be able to tell the world when Laker Bob went 44.352 mph in 1948. If the BNI, SCTA, FIA or other groups feel that such records are not within their scope of authority, then perhaps we ought to take up the challenge. The Society of Land Speed Racing Historians would not be the sanctioning body for the results, but the official repository of records for present and defunct organizations. Such records would be "official" in the sense that they were once recorded by a legal racing organizations and as such would enter our database for us to keep for future historians. For this we need one or more volunteers and a system that is inclusive and yet separate. That is, the records would be listed under the original sanctioning body and not intermixed, as some groups may not have been as thorough as others in their record keeping. Categories would be required, even if they have been changed or gotten rid of for other categories. Results would be cross-listed under driver, car and owner, in that sanctioning bodies name. It is a shame to let these old records die when the racers and their sanctioning bodies die off. It is as if they never existed. To forget those who came before us and made it possible for us to do what we love to do, is shameful and selfish.

Editor's notes: the following concerns Wayne Leary, who suffered a heart attack recently.
a) It is spring here in IN (Indianapolis) town. The track opens tomorrow but it is supposed to rain most of the weekend. The Indy ''Wayne group'' is concerned about how Wayne Leary is progressing. Anita Millican
b) Wayne was in TriCities Hospital in Oceanside, California, for just over a week. He was released yesterday to a rehab facility so they can monitor him. Wayne is not going to Indy this month as much as he would like to. I just spoke to him for a whole 2 minutes... he says he'll be all right and will get up here and see us as soon as he gets out of rehab. Sounded fairly good. He said he was going over some paperwork with a guy right now, and was expecting Sudsy to come soon and he would check in later? That's all I know. Please pass it on.

INDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - Arthur W. "Art" Graham III, director of timing and scoring for the Indianapolis 500 from 1978-97, died Sunday, May 11. He was 67. A native of Columbus, Indiana, but a longtime resident of Brownsburg, Indiana, Graham introduced many of the timing-and-scoring procedures now used in American open-cockpit open-wheel racing. Graham was employed by IBM for 30 years, joining the company in 1962 and serving as a senior systems engineer from 1977-92. A lifelong racing enthusiast who recalled watching the first live television coverage of the "500" in 1949 on a tiny screen through an appliance store window, Graham first became involved with the United States Auto Club in 1965 while living in Cincinnati. It wasn't long before he was serving on USAC's various competition commissions, and he eventually became chairman of the rules committee. In 1982, he was named to USAC's board of directors, remaining there until 1997. Computers already were being used at Indianapolis when Graham first came onto the scene, but he did much to further incorporate their use into timing-and-scoring procedures. For many years, it was traditional for an all-night audit to take place, with the results not being officially posted until 8 a.m. on the morning following the race. By the late 1980s, under Graham's watch, they would be posted within a short time after the finish. In the early 1990s, Graham began championing the cause of the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame, and later served for several years as the organization's secretary. A great lover of big-band music, Graham was especially proud of being the Indiana representative of the Four Freshmen Society, and he had put in a considerable amount of effort toward the planning of a 60th anniversary celebration of the group's formation, to be held in Indianapolis in August. Survivors include his wife, Dina; daughter, Susan L. Moore; sons Daniel A. and Matthew S. Graham; brother, Andrew S. Graham; mother, Martha S. Graham; and four grandchildren. Visitation is from 4-8 p.m. Thursday, May 15 at Conkle Funeral Home, 4925 W. 16th St. in Speedway, Indiana. The funeral is at 10 a.m. Friday, May 16 at Conkle Funeral Home.

Charles: You have a first-class website and I hope you get some cross-over viewers from our site. I tried to create a car racer's newsletter like yours, full of racing info, but never quite reached your level.

While he is better known for drag racing, he always had a deep love for the sport that we call land speed racing. His story and the stories of thousands of other men and women are the reason that the Society of Land Speed Racing Historians exist.

May 12, 2008. Dear 800 Club Members. We need your help! For those of you who've been following our project closely, you know that we've been an innovative operation for the past 10 years getting the North American EagleTM to this point. Now, we're moving into the next phase of testing for mid-speed test runs. We've recently dealt with some "hurdles" (building the all aluminum wheels in order to run on for the record, and getting our voltage regulator working properly which will allow us to us the afterburner on the engine) by being persistent and creative. Now, we're ready to conduct another test session next month. However, each of our test sessions are very expensive operations just to get the NAETM and its equipment to a useable location for conducting these tests. Our past test sessions have cost in the range of $15,000 to $20,000 each. Of course, the rising price of diesel fuel isn't helping either. While we are working at acquiring a sponsor to fund next month's test session expenses we have yet to do so. This is where you come in. We are asking 800 Club members to support us by donating whatever amount they can to help sponsor this test session and make it possible to break into the 400 to 450 mph range. Names of all who donate to sponsor this test session will appear on a special acknowledgement page on the web site of the project. We've placed a page about this on our site. To get to it, find the link at the bottom of the home page. Help get us closer to going for the record; possibly as soon as next fall. Thank you! Jon M. Higley, C.I.O./E.A.D.,Crew Lead/Webmaster, North American Eagle, Inc. See http://www.landspeed.com

BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky (May 12, 2008) - The 2008 PPG Street Rodder Road Tour is traveling to Bowling Green, Kentucky for the 6th annual Holley National Hot Rod Reunion. More than 50 cars will drive from San Antonio, Texas to Bowling Green as part of the Vintage Air-sponsored tour. "We're thrilled that, like so many other hot rodders, the Street Rodder Tour has made the Holley National Hot Rod Reunion one of its road-trip destinations," said Tony Thacker, executive director of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, producers of the Reunion. "Events like these have helped the Reunion grow each year and means more cool cars at the event, as well as an extra boost for Bowling Green's economy." In Bowling Green, tour drivers will visit Holley Performance Products and the Chevrolet Corvette plant. Along the way, other stops will include a Civil War Battlefield in Vicksburg, Mississippi, George Poteet's farm in Holly Springs, Mississippi and Comp Cams in Memphis, Tennessee. "This is a great way for street rodders to travel together, have fun and support the National Hot Rod Reunion," said Jerry Dixey, road tour director for Street Rodder Magazine. "Later in the year we'll make a trip from Sacramento to Bakersfield, California for the California Hot Rod Reunion as part of the NHRA Motorsports Museum sponsored tour." The 6th annual Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, June 13-15, at Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is a 3-day festival of speed, hot rods and American automotive enthusiasm. Produced by the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum and presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California, the Reunion is part of the museum's "living history" philosophy, which works to bring to life the sights, sounds and people who made history in the early days of drag racing, land speed racing and the golden age of American car culture. Unique among motorsports events, the Reunion honors some of the top names in hot rodding from the past and features a fabulous array of cool drag cars, street rods and customs of the historic and present-day hot rod eras. Those purchasing their credentials at least three weeks before the event receive significant added value including a "goodie" bag, Reunion program, commemorative dash plaque and a colorful and collectible plastic souvenir credential. Three-day credentials ($55 each) are available at 800-884-NHRA (6472) or at http://museum.nhra.com. Individual tickets are available day-of the event. Cost per person: Friday, $20; Saturday, $20; Sunday, $15. Children 15 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. The Reunion features a wide variety of activities and events, including:
- Hot Heads Eliminator NHRA vintage drag racing, featuring some the sport's most famous and historic cars and drivers, racing in such classes at Nostalgia Top Fuel, Funny Car, Altereds, Supercharged Gassers, Classic Super Stock, Hot Rods and others.
- Street rod "show 'n shine," presented by SoffSeal, with thousands of gleaming pre-1972 hot rods, custom cars, classics and muscle cars. "Memory Lane" will have a display of nostalgic race cars.
- Open house at Holley, Thursday, June 12, 10 am - 2 pm, followed by the Heacock Classic Insurance Show 'n Shine cruise to the Holiday Inn University Plaza, the host hotel. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 5 pm.
- National Hot Rod Reunion Reception, held at the Holiday Inn University Plaza's Sloan Convention Center ballroom on Friday evening, June 13. Open to everyone at no charge, it's a tribute to the Reunion's Grand Marshal and Honorees and a chance for fans to meet some of drag racing's heroes.
- Cacklefest on Saturday evening, where nitro-burning historic, front-engine top-fuel dragsters and other classic race cars are push-started just like in the "old days."
- The Swap Meet and Reunion Midway filled with manufacturer exhibits and demonstrations
- A separate amusement park with rides and games for all ages adjacent to the park.
Information, including a full activities schedule, entry forms and tickets, is available through the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum at http://museum.nhra.com or by sending a post card or note to NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, 1101 McKinley Avenue, Building 3A, Pomona, California 91768. Requests can be emailed to [email protected].

We have added a section to our "Swap Meet" for the sale of Racing memorabilia and also racing parts. If you go to our classifieds www.hotrodhotline.com/classifieds/classifieds.php and then click on "Swap Meet," you will see a category for Racing memorabilia and racing parts. These ads are free and include 4 pictures. We also have a section in the Classifieds under Vehicles for sale where people can list Dragsters and Race Cars for sale. There is a charge for these ads but the cost is very small considering the exposure. Just wanted to let you know about these changes. Thanks, Mary Ann Lawford
Readers: Check out the website and see if it will fit your needs should you want to sell photos, timing tags, parts or other memorabilia that would normally sell on eBay.

Editor's notes: This is a working group and we encourage each and every person to write their histories and share them. Also, we welcome any book reviews that you would like to do. If you have a large or small library and would like to do a review, we would be glad to post it. We also accept movie and art reviews as well, just so long as they are part of the hot rodding and land speed racing culture. A review does not have to be exactly like every other review. What is important to a potential buyer is what the book is like, what it covers, what it looks like. You can copy the format that I use at www.hotrodhotline.com, Guest Columnist section, or any of the styles of the other reviewers. You need to take a digital photograph of the book and then send it to me. Don't worry about writing the perfect review or if your grammar or spelling is slightly off. If I see anything that I think needs fussin' with, I can email you back and let you know, so that you can change anything you are uncomfortable with. We need lots and lots of reviews. Books are a great source of knowledge for any historian and certainly a reviewer helps the author to sell more books. I always try to add half a dozen new books to my collection every year to keep up on what's being discovered and written. When you buy a book you become more knowledgeable and you help that author get to the break-even point and may even encourage that writer to create another book.

Yes, the rumors are true. This will be my last official posting as the webmaster of Landracing.com. After more than a decade of dedication, I have made the decision to sell the site. This was not a decision I came to easily. But after a lot of soul-searching and heartfelt discussion, I decided I was at a place in my life where it was time to pursue other interests. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel toward everyone who has supported the website and helped make it what it is today. Landracing.com started as a hobby and grew into a passion, much like my love for the sport of landracing itself. In many ways, I feel like a proud parent who has watched their child grow. And like all parents, there comes a time when you must step back and let your child find their own way. Jon Wennerberg, a longtime user and supporter of the site, will be taking over the reins in the coming weeks. I know the site is in capable hands, and I am anxious to see what new and exciting directions it takes. I value all of the connections and friendships I have made through Landracing.com, and though I will no longer be the one taking pictures at the starting line or conducting interviews in the pits, I look forward to seeing all of you on the Salt again this racing season and in the seasons to come. Thank you everyone, once again, for everything. Our new email address for Jon Amo will be [email protected] please change your address books to reflect the changes. Jon & Keilani Amo, founders, owners and operators who are now just racers.

Editor's notes: The following is correspondence between the owner of the website and the editor of the newsletter and is made public in order to answer any questions that may arise. To: "Mary Ann: Did this come from you or a service that you have or is it spam or a scam?"
To: "Richard, It's legit .... it's a requirement that we have a verify system before signing anyone up to get a newsletter... that's so that people cannot sign up others without their knowledge. Mary Ann Lawford" Readers: What this means, because I had to ask, is that when you go to sign up for the newsletter, you are given a code number/pin number to enter the website, which is free, and read the back issues or view the photographs. The website does this so that we can keep tabs on what's happening and keep spam mail down. I erroneously ran one of these letters once and broadcast the pin number, for which in my ignorance, I apologize.

(Editor's notes: The Road Runners provided the following news from their website. I downloaded it for your information. To see the entire site, go to http://www.ussarcherfish.com/roadrunners/news.htm.) ROAD RUNNERS News / Special Events: Steve Johnson submitted his application for membership and was voted into the Club. Steve raced a front engine dragster from 1974 to 1980 and rear engine dragster from 1984 to 1989. He is building a motorcycle powered Lakester for SCTA-BNI competition. Steve and his wife Debby live in Joshua Tree. The Road Runners now have 12 cars and bikes able to race during the 2008 Season. Seven should make the season opener this weekend at El Mirage. We have another 7 vehicles under construction and several of those should be ready to race later this season. This will the largest number of vehicles and race teams for the Road Runners in years. REMINDER: Road Runners Annual Banquet/BBQ - RSVP ASAP. The Road Runners Annual Banquet/BBQ will be held on May 31st, beginning at 2pm (Weekend following Memorial Day). BBQ for steaks fires up at 5pm. Members free, guests $5. Steaks and drinks provided by the Club. Members will be contacted regarding bringing Pot-Luck dishes. Raffle drawing. Trophies. Fun! Former Road Runners, and friends of Road Runners are invited and encouraged to attend. RSVP by May 16th. Call Mike or e-mail us. Full copy of the Road Runners Meeting minutes available upon request. Contact Jerry Cornelison for copy or see http://www.ussarcherfish.com/roadrunners/news.htm. We had a lengthy discussion and vote on proposed rules and penalties from an SCTA Committee chaired by Pat Riley. The intent of the Committee's work is to provide clearly defined and consistently applied rules and penalties for infractions of El Mirage procedures. This has been long overdue and generally favored by all the SCTA membership. Great work by Pat and his Committee. The results will be presented to the SCTA and likely will be added to the El Mirage Procedures this season. Bill Harris told the Club about the upcoming Old Fart's Racing Team Picnic and Car Show that will be held at the National Guard Armory at Fairmont Park on June 8th. Since this is not an SCTA race weekend, Bill suggests and encourages that the Road Runners participate in this event as a Club activity. Bring your race car and/or hot rod and show it at the Old Fart's show. Sounds like fun! Reminder that El Mirage Days will be held, on the lakebed, on May 3rd and 4th. The workday/clean-up day will be on Saturday the 3rd. BBQ, Poker Run and other events on Sunday the 4th. It is very important that SCTA and the Road Runners have a good turn out for the lake clean up day on Saturday. Another new Road Runner joined the Club. Welcome to Dave Consalvo. He will be racing a 2000 Suzuki, GSX1300R in the 1350cc/P-P Class. He and wife Kari are very eager for the new El Mirage racing season to begin. We enjoyed the company of four Guests and one out of town Associate Member at the meeting. Mel Weber, Road Runners 1959-1963, and current Associate Member was visiting from Clovis. Guests included: Kari Consalvo, new member Dave Consalvo's wife. Kari is a prospective member and possibly will be racing her own Suzuki. Margie Mayer, new member Wendel Burn's fiance attended with Wendel. Margie is also a prospective member and may co-drive the 63 1/2 Falcon Futura Wendel is building. Gary Deaton, a long time friend of Road Runner Mark Saxlund was our fourth guest. "Back in the Day" - Vintage Road Runners pictures - a nostalgic visit to Dry Lakes racing and Hot Rods! New page being added to our website. It is a "work in progress". The first of many pictures and accompanying information has been added. Keep watching the site. There is a lot more that will be added over the next days and weeks. Wendell Burns was voted into the club. He is building a 63 1/2 Falcon Futura. Car classification yet to be determined. He hopes to have the car ready to race in May. There will be several new additions to the El Mirage Procedures document. As soon as the new ELM is available, there will be a link from our website (also on the Race Schedule and Duty Assignments Page) to the revised document. The entry fee charges for El Mirage proposed by the BLM have been postponed until Oct 1, 2008. As soon as all is finalized, we will have information available. Two good by-products of the proposed entry fees are that we should, once again, have an official BLM presence on the Lake during our race events and there will be control over access and damage to the lakebed when it is wet. Both of those are good! Congratulations to Richard and Rachel Ross - The Harris & Wester Race Team has a new member. Hadyn Lee Ross, 6 pounds, 14 ounces, was born on Jan 18, 2008, at 2pm in Joshua Tree. Mom and little Hadyn are both doing great. Dad reports that "big sister" Teagan is a little bit jealous but they kind of expected that. Hadyn won't make her "debut" at El Mirage as early as Teagan did (6 days old) but look for her at the first meet of the year in May. Very important reminder regarding 2008 dues: If you have not paid your 2008 Road Runners and SCTA dues yet, please do so as soon as possible. All dues for current members must be paid by January 31, or that member will be dropped from the Club. Dues are: Regular Member (RR/SCTA) is $70; Associate Member (RR only) is $30. Jerry Cornelison

I was never a racer though my Dad and Uncle John both worked at Firestone in South Gate and were active as Firestone racing reps going as far back as the original Ascot and Mines Field. John eventually became the company's Racing Tire Director, and it was through him I acquired my interest in racing (Indy, big cars, midgets) as a small boy. Your Dad, by the way, knew Johnny quite well, first meeting him when he used to deliver uniforms to the Firestone plant as a very young man. I spent a lot of time at the Santa Ana drags, and went to Bonneville for the first time in '53 as an 18 year old gopher for the Firestone crew. I am still building and driving vintage hot rods at age 73, (two 32 Fords) but have little to offer in the way of racing history. I would be glad to give you a biography, but I don't have anything to offer as a racer. Thanks for asking. Jim Moore
Jim: I was never a racer either. Let's look at this from a futuristic standpoint. How many racers from the past left no record? Probably ALL of them. So what do we know of their lives and their experiences? Almost nothing. What we do know comes from people like you and I who observed them and wrote about these men and women who did race, but left no record. When we write about our own lives we are also going to mention other people in our lives who did race and this is how the future historians will research the times we live in. I'm not writing for this generation. They are also observers of the same things that you and I have seen. I'm writing for my great grandchildren, who will never see me or know anything about me, except for the records that I compile while I'm alive. That's who you are writing for and who cannot possibly know what we experienced unless we share it with them. Your life is interesting as a record that stands alone, at least for your family. The things that you witnessed is interesting as well to future generations and to historians. There is NO person who has led an uninteresting life. So far we have about 30 biographies done and each is a jewel. Our goal is to record as much as we can and leave it as a gift to the coming generations. You mention Firestone Tire, Ascot, Mines Field, my father, Santa Ana Drags, Bonneville and hot rodding. Right there you have 3000 words. Sit down and fill up your biography with those stories and more and share them with us. Keep adding stories as you remember them, then leave one copy for your family and one for the newsletter. You'll be glad that you did.
