SPRC CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS
Subject to ratification a group of classes will run under the title of the SPRC Club Championships. This
is based upon Clubs which organise themselves but which operate under SPRC permit. A meeting has been held
today with representatives of VWDRC, Outlaw Anglia, Wild Bunch and the Nostalgia Super Stock Association to
offer them a Championship based upon permitted rounds at Santa Pod Raceway in 2019. This was well-received
by those attending, who will now go back to their Committees to confirm their participation.
EVENT ENTRY
Entry fees have risen by £5 per event (not per day).
Racers are encouraged to pay entry fees by Bacs, Faster Payment or other electronic means as cheques are
subject to a processing fee.
Prize money has again been increased by 2% for this season.
2018 Santa Pod Racers Club Champions will again receive free entry to rounds at Santa Pod Raceway in 2019
with the exception of Top Fuel Bike, Pro Stock Bike, Supertwin Top Gas and Junior
Drag Bike. Free entry applies even if you change classes. At FIA/FIM events SPRC will cover the equivalent of the
National Championship entry fee for Pro Modified and Super Street Bike. In the case of teams with more
than one driver, one team driver per event will receive the free entry. Pitside power must still be paid for. The free
entry must be used during 2019.
For this year's SPRC Champions to receive free entry in 2020 there must have been an average of four bikes
contesting events in Top Fuel Bike and an average of six vehicles in each other class.

OTHER BUSINESS
SPRC have acquired an additional fire truck.
The Championship boards outside the Signing On office will now display the Champions for the last ten years
as well as the reigning Champions.
If anyone knows of any company which could provide electronic event entry at reasonable cost then please
get in touch with SPRC.
If any racer has any comments about or issues adjusting to the new track surface at Santa Pod then please get in touch
with Neale Saunders or Darren Prentice of Santa Pod Raceway.
Please note that a lot of these events are limited to sixteen entries, so once we have reached that number then entry will be full. So if you want to ensure that you have a spot then
please enter sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
These are very exciting times in No Prep drag racing. A lot of new venues and challenges await the 2019 competitors, plus a very nice amount of cash and trophies.
Teams will have to figure out their power management and driving skills: No Prep events are not just about power, it is about how you use it effectively. There are
also our two brand new classes, which will feature in the first three events on the calendar: True Street and Pro Street, a unique formula which will also separate
the men and ladies from the boys and girls. All of our events will be true Outlaw style: heads-up, no time, no speed, flashlight start.
The usual No Prep Big Tyre and No Prep Small Tyre are also catered for along with the new to 2019 Cash Days, which will be held at the Silverstone Classic on
Friday 26th-Sunday 28th July. Cash days are open to any car you wanna bring, small or big tyre, this is RWYB and hope you brung enough! We will also feature a thirty two-car
shootout as well for a smaller prize pot, courtesy Mark from the Rodfathers.
Sywell's Pistons and Props on Saturday 21st-Sunday 22nd September features another unique event, a grudge match style North v South team race. Pel Norman will captain
the York Raceway Veterans and face off against team captain Gary Springford and the North Weald Allstars. There will be a lot of money at stake here and a lot of pride to
match. If you wanna be part of this, download the entry form and get in on the action. Anyone can represent their side at this event providing that they have run either at
York or North Weald. Racing as a team has to my knowledge never been done in the UK so this is another first. Competitors get to pick their own races against the other
team, with points awarded for a win, loss or no show. You just need to win your races, so a lot of strategy and skullduggery will inevitably come into play. It's staged over
four rounds and will be fun to watch.
A long list of Thank Yous to everyone involved in making this happen, we owe you all. Keep an eye out for event merchandise and flyers at Swap Meet South at North Weald
on Sunday 17th March and stay tuned to Eurodragster.com for more news.
With many of the 'Pod's front runners from across Europe already relying on VP's unique formulations to power them to victory, the partnership will ensure that a reliable supply of this
essential performance product continues to be available at the track. Race teams can order in advance for the ultimate in convenience or buy directly from the Pod Shop at race meetings.
Commenting on the deal Marc Wesler, VP International Sales Manager, said "VP Racing Fuels is best known as the World Leader in Race Fuel Technology, fuelling Champions around the
world in virtually every form of motorsport. VP's fuels have a well-earned reputation for offering more power and unparalleled consistency. Santa Pod is the premier drag race facility in
Europe so we are thrilled to continue our involvement with European Drag Racing and Santa Pod Raceway as their Official Fuel Supplier."
Caroline Holden, Santa Pod's Commercial Manager, added, "Naturally we're delighted to continue our partnership with VP. Their racing fuel is used by many of our leading teams and
Santa Pod's on-site supply has hopefully removed some of the logistical problem of moving large quantities of fuel around."
Racers can order fuel for delivery in advance simply by visiting Santa Pod's on-line shop at
www.santapodshop.com or by calling the Santa Pod team on 01234 782828.

and family will be following the funeral cars from our home. If you are
able and want to join this procession please let us know at [email protected].
Almost half way to its target is an appeal set up by Brogan Edwards who is undertaking various challenges in aid of ET Bike racer Giselle Moor
who suffered a spinal injury in a start line accident at Santa Pod Raceway last season. Progess is being made towards a wheelchair Smart Drive for Giselle
and if you would like to contribute then take a look at

Swift snippets. 20th February: The latest spy picture to arrive at the offices of Eurodragster.com
(right) came with no words. If you know more, or if you would like to send your own spy picture, then drop us a line
at [email protected].
The boss is back. 20th February: The UK's Robin Read says that his new dragster, currently under construction,
will be named Spirit of Le Patron in tribute to his late father, Pro Comp racer, BDR&HRA and BDRA Chair and British
Drag Racing Hall of Fame member Jim Read:
My Crew Chief Mark suggested that it would be a lovely idea to pay homage to my father somehow with the new car, but what to do?
Once the idea had taken root there were suggestions, then modifications to those suggestions, and this is what we thought appropriate.
As you know the little car has always been "The little car" or been referred to as Robin Read's Daimler. The new car has remained unnamed,
being referred to as "The new car" or latterly "The long car". So the decision at The Shed has been to name the new car.
The new car will be Spirit of Le Patron and will have Dad's old race number PC31 guesting within the artwork on the mid top body panel.
The Spirit of Le Patron will be running billet aluminium cylinder heads, which were commissioned by dad from Bertie Hopkinson in 1989
shortly before he succumbed to a heart attack. These cylinder heads have never been run in anger, only having done an engine warm up at the
workshop. Team effort has been ramped up to finish Spirit of Le Patron and we hope to be testing in June.
Progress of Spirit of Le Patron and other team news can be followed on Facebook by searching for Robin Read Drag Racing and
asking to join the group.
This new partnership is designed for the racer to have ease of access and convenience to Nitrous fills and parts all in one place at every event, from a RWYB to a full race weekend.
This evolution allows instant access directly at the track for Nitrous fills and parts from the Garage Shop situated in the pits at Santa Pod Raceway.
Darren Prentice, Track Operations Manager, said “This answers the begging question: Will there be Nitrous fill available at the track this weekend? The answer is now "Yes", at every weekend
and every event including RWYB, Test Days and Drifting too. We're delighted to be working with Serck to provide this permanent solution."
We at Serck have always prided ourselves on bringing the very best in cooling systems and designs, products, race parts and services direct to all of our customers. The parts list will also be on
display in the Santa Pod Garage targeted to help the racer in the event of common failures and many attractive parts for the browsing shopper also. This occurred to me when I was racing
Snow White and needed a ring gear urgently, although I managed to get one it could have been a big problem that if I wasn't able to get one I could have missed out on qualifying.
The parts list will therefore evolve to suit the customers' needs and we will also welcome suggestions from the pits to help support them.
We hope to have the installation and training completed very soon so that we are up and running by the mid to end of March along with the parts stocked for the new season.
Further information will be posted by Santa Pod Raceway as the project nears completion.
Chairman of the BDRHoF Stu Bradbury said "We have had two extremely successful Galas at the Oatlands Park Hotel which offers excellent accommodation
at a very reasonable price, together with a location close to many attractions. The main focus of the event will be inducting our new members of the Hall of
Fame for 2019 at the evening's dinner and award ceremony. There will be a Bench Racing session in the afternoon, and we will be announcing further details
in due course."
The special guests announced by BDRHoF are Top Fuel dragster racer Doug Herbert and veteran announcer Bob Beck with his wife Peg. Doug Herbert is from
a drag racing dynasty which includes his father Chet Herbert, who introduced roller cams and zoomie headers to the sport from 1949, and his aunt Doris Herbert
who published Drag News, the first great drag racing newspaper. Doug himself has won four IHRA Top Fuel Championships and ten NHRA National events
and is planning a Land Speed Record attempt to go 500 mph. Following the death of his two sons in a tragic highway accident in 2008, Doug founded the BRAKES
organisation which saves lives by training and educating teenage drivers and their parents about the importance of safe and responsible driving.
Bob Beck has built vehicles seen in the pages of many publications and has many class wins at car shows and driving events. Peg's hot rod won at the Grand
National Rod show in Pomona last week. He has also been a driver/builder in AHRA drag racing and US Sports Car and Sedan Racing and has announced at
these events and at NHRA, NDRA, VRA and ANRA drag series, including Irwindale and the NHRA Hot Rod Reunions. He can be heard on-line with his radio show
Great American Auto Scene at www.gotgaas.com.
Doug Herbert said "I am really excited about being able to come over for this year's British Drag Racing Hall of Fame Gala as I have many customers and
friends in the UK and Europe, and visited Santa Pod Raceway as a guest in 2010". Bob Beck said "Peg and I are thrilled to be spending a week in the UK
and exploring the car scene over there as well as meeting the folks in the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame."
The BDRHoF will be taking reservations for the 2019 Gala Awards Dinner by E-Mail at
[email protected] or by telephone at 01933 279102. Dinner
tickets, which include table wine, are held at the same price as 2018 at £70 each. Likewise the same rates for hotel rooms are offered, at £115
for double rooms and £94.00 single which includes an excellent breakfast and VAT as well as parking. The event always sells out well in advance, so if
you would like to join us for the occasion we suggest you make your reservation sooner rather than later. On receiving your reservation you will be given the
procedure to book rooms.
Ongoing news about the Gala, sponsors and other events in which the BDRHoF is involved is regularly published on the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame web site
at www.britishdragracinghof.co.uk, on Eurodragster.com, and on Facebook and
Twitter.
Swift snippets. 16th February: Best wishes for a rapid recovery to Supercharged Outlaws racer and race car builder Roy Wilding who suffered
a heart attack and stroke earlier this week. Supercharged Outlaws Chair Andy Fadster says that the best wishes of the Supercharged Outlaws are behind Roy and that
they are ready to welcome him back as soon as he regains his strength.
Please send any messages or memories to [email protected] for forwarding on to Barry's
wife Debs.
UK Riders' and Drivers' Meeting update. 15th February: If you have any items for the agenda of next week's UK Riders' and Drivers' Meeting then close of office hours
today (Friday) is the deadline for submission.
Agenda items should be sent in writing to Ian Marshall at [email protected].
Please note that if you wish to have your agenda item discussed then you must attend the meeting.
The UK Riders' and Drivers' Meeting will take place at 13:00 on Sunday 24th February at the Hilton Hotel at Collingtree, on the eastbound A45 just off Junction
15 of the M1 (postcode NN4 0XW, map).
Doorslammers set for Viking invasion. 15th February: [ 'Doorslammer': noun - full-bodied car with sprung chassis and functioning doors ]
The 2019 Doorslammers preparation is already under way; the racer entry system is live and drivers are jealously eyeing the riches
on offer. News of the Doorslammers' incredible first-year success has spread across the North Sea and the tempting £80,000 total prize money has stirred Viking blood in the Swedish Top Doorslammer
community. Look out everyone – the Vikings are coming!
2018's welcome revival of the Doorslammers concept at Santa Pod Raceway, after a long hiatus, put down a marker. The atmosphere and enthusiasm generated by the event signalled that big prize money and
back-to-basics racing are where it's at! The Doorslammers filled a hole and scratched an itch we knew was there but couldn't quite put our finger on. The event left us eagerly wanting more, and more is exactly
what we'll get in 2019: more prize money, more cars, more days and much more excitement.
For many racers and spectators, the Doorslammers 2018 would be hard to beat. The event immediately established a formidable reputation. The hammer blow of Mattias Wulcan's 5.53/262 run over the
quarter mile – the quickest, fastest doorslammer pass ever seen in Europe – sent a shockwave across to Scandinavia that reverberated throughout its Doorslammer racing scene. Now, with eyes fixed on
plunder, a Viking raiding party made up of the quickest and fastest outlaw doorslammers is readying to cross the sea in numbers to lay claim to the Doorslammers cash in this year's
VP Racing Fuels Pro Doorslammer class.
The Top Doorslammer class in Sweden is run over the eighth-mile; the talk in the class at the moment is all about preparing to race the full quarter mile at Santa Pod, requiring significant tuning changes
to be made to set-ups to give them a fighting chance. No fewer than eight outlaw cars, never seen before in the UK, are doing what's necessary to give them the best shot at taking the £10,000
winner's prize, along with the regular crop of conventional Scandinavian Pro Mod favourites. Competition will be fierce and if the Brits are to have a chance of defeating the invasion force, they'll need
to raise their game.
Peter Coleman, Business Development Consultant for VP Europe, said: "VP Racing Fuels is delighted to continue its association with Santa Pod's expanded Doorslammers event. As sponsor of the Pro
Doorslammers class, we're looking forward to the thrill of watching these spectacular vehicles in the UK once more."
Entries for the VP Racing Fuels Pro Doorslammer class will headline the event with a supporting cast of classes that includes The OCS Big Bracket, Pro Street, True Street, 6-cylinder, Webster Race
Engineering 4-cylinder and Eibach Front Wheel Drive.
Don't miss the excitement. Book your tickets for the Doorslammers on the 17th-19th May and visit the Doorslammers web site for all the latest information at
www.thedoorslammers.co.uk.
Barry Eastman. 14th February: Lorcan Parnell writes that the UK's Championship-holding Storm Funny Bike team are broken-hearted to announce the loss of team co-owner
Barry Eastman, who passed away in hospital on Tuesday afternoon aged 68:
Barry's friendship with Mick Hand extends back over fifty years to when they completed their apprenticeships at the same company and started going sprinting. After racing their
own bikes, Mick helped Barry with his Honda CBX Funny Bike Tokyo Express through the 1980s and 1990s, before building Storm together.
Now, though, our thoughts are with Barry's family, especially wife Deb and daughter Sarah. Barry met Deb through drag racing and we are sure that the drag racing community will
want to join us in sending our love and sincere condolences.
Tractor unit sought for Nan's 100th. 14th February: Angie Daly of Santa Pod Racers Club's top end fire crew has been in touch to ask if any Eurodragster.com reader or racer has a
tractor unit which she could use for one day on Saturday 2nd March:
My Nan will be 100 years young on 28th February, and she is have a huge party on 2nd March. She has always wanted to go out in a truck with me but unfortunately the companies
for whom I work do not allow passengers. So for a special surprise I've been trying to get a unit so I can drive her to her party in style! Unfortunately my everyday truck is a fleet
vehicle so when I get out of it someone else gets in, so I'm unable to use it. I've also tried to hire a tractor but as I do not have an O licence or fleet insurance I can't do that either.
So I was hoping that someone out there has a unit which is legal and which I could use to make an old lady, and me, very happy!
If you can help then please contact Angie Daly via Facebook or drop us a line at [email protected] and
we'll put you in touch.
Swift snippets. 14th February: Their BUG wishes lots of love and a very Happy Birthday to UK Wild Bunch racers Rob and Pete Brown (aka Marra 1 and 2). "You are now officially
thirty years old and still a pair of rebels!", says Hayley Fyfe. "I hope you enjoy all the birthday celebrations that are in store for you both. I'm looking forward to a full season of
racing and fun."
Flamholc comes home. 14th February: Ever-busy Pro Modified racer and tuner Adam Flamholc writes that he is aiming to race in Europe as well as
in the USA in 2019:
For the last three seasons I've been working with SMP Racing in Russia, as well as helping customers in Europe and in US, and at the same time I've been racing my '63 Corvette.
I really enjoy working with my friends in Russia and helping other teams, but because of these commitments I have not been able to race a full series myself more than twice in
my twenty five years of racing. The way it looks now, that might change!
The Flamholc Racing crew, together with Chris Duncan, have worked hard on my Dan Page-built Mustang, to make it NHRA/FIA legal. Chris Duncan Racecars also got the job to build a
brand new '68 Camaro for Dmitry Samorukov. Two new engines have been built here at the Flamholc Racing shop in Cape Coral, with two new superchargers from Mike Janis (JanCen).
We tested the Mustang for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and so far it felt good. Next time out will be the NHRA Winter Warmup in Orlando on the first weekend in March. A
couple of weeks after that it'll be time to take Dmitry's new Camaro to the track for the first time, and then ship both cars to Europe, where we will run a full FIA tour.
Before we take the Mustang out, the guys at Signtastic in Seebring will make sure it looks great with new colors and design!
I still enjoy racing the '63 Corvette, and if verything works out as I hope then I'm going to try to be at five of the six NMCA events this year. NMCA is a great organisaton to race with,
and I really miss those events!
I really appreciate all of the customers who order parts through Flamholc Racing/MMR and who trust us to build and rebuild engines for them. Big thanks to our sponsors
SMP Racing and RDRC, Amalie Oil, 5 Day Plantation Shutters & Blinds, R&R connection Rods, Diamond Racing Pistons, Line2Line Coating, Malmö Motorrenovation (MMR),
Auto Collection, Signtastic, Davies Technologies and Kvinesdal Auto. As usual the biggest Thank You goes to my family who let me do what I do!

We would like to say a big Happy Birthday to ubiquitous drag bike crew Kerryanne van den Berg. Have a lovely day Kerryanne.
No Prep Real Street, Pro Street rules. 12th February: Paul Marston has been in touch with details of the rules for Real Street and Pro Street which will
be included in this year's No Prep National Series. Real Street and Pro Street will have their first outing at
Lancaster Dragstrip, East Kirkby on Saturday 13th April:
The rules took a lot of working out to ensure that only Real Street cars can run in the class and hopefully we have got it right. It is really is wide open for what will
show up and be competitive. Nowadays there are so many insanely quick super cars, plus the excessively rapid Audis, BMWs and Mercedes, or the Japanese stuff
such as Skylines and Nissan 370Zs not to mention new generation Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers. Then you have all the home-grown modified stuff, older
modified Mustangs, the traditional Muscle Cars, the small English Tin or street sleepers. There are no restrictions on power adders so it really is an open book.
It soon became apparent that there are Pro Street cars which live alot more closer to the ragged edge of street-legal and are prepared to sacrifice creature
comforts in the name of performance. So it was only fair that we created a class for them too. This is for back-half cars up to full tube-chassis street cars; we did
not want anyone to miss out.
So there you have it: the rules are below, entry will open soon, and space will be limited to sixteen cars as it was at our first event at North Weald in 2017. Once entry
is open you will need to be quick as it will fill up fast.
REAL STREET CAR rules

lane and you will be paired and run again. There is no refuelling allowed, drivers do not leave their cars, and they just wait until paired up with next opponent by the Staging Lane marshal.
After the third race, you can return to your pit area. If you cannot make a round simply do not return to the staging lanes.

Nicholson's thanks. 7th February: A very humble-feeling Wayne Nicholson has been in touch to thank Eurodragster.com
readers for voting the Lucky Devil Drag Racing Pro Modified team last season's SPRC Most Professional-Appearing Team:
Thank you so much, firstly for the nomination and then to every single one who voted. Running in Pro Mod was a dream years ago and
then by a few turns of fate became reality. Yes it's tough, yes it's hard work, and yes it is very rewarding when it goes the right way. As
a family we put as much effort as we possibly can into the racing and like to think that we continually try to improve, so winning Most
Professional Appearing Team does mean a great deal to us.
It gives great credibility to the relationships we have with supporters and sponsors too, and of course the class in general. So if you
want to get your business and services noticed, we have a great rolling billboard just waiting for you. Don't be shy, get in touch
with us at [email protected].
We are competing in the full Motorsport UK Championship again this year and at the Doorslammers too, all being well. I am confident
in saying that we will be quicker, faster and more competitive.
Lucas Oil continue UK support. 7th February: Eurodragster.com sponsor Lucas
Oil UK has renewed its support for the 2019 Lucas Oil UK National Junior Dragster Championship. The move extends
the oils, lubricants and additive manufacturer's association with the UK National Championships for the ninth consecutive year.
Prizes will be provided for both the winner and the runner-up at each of the Championship rounds throughout the 2019
season.
Lucas Oil will also continue to sponsor a number of individual drag racers. Among these is Junior Dragster driver
Kaitlan Deevey and former Lucas Oil Junior Dragster driver Brad Jackson. The twenty three-year-old VW mechanic now
races at senior level and is the reigning Gearhead Garage UK National Super Pro ET Champion.
Wayne Jackson, father of Brad and Crew Chief at Brad Jackson Racing, says "Lucas Oil is justifiably proud to be
part of an event which is designed to encourage youth. It is a strong supporter of our sport. Wayne confirmed
that Brad Jackson Racing and Nick Good Motorsport – which has produced two Super Pro Champions in the last three
years – will be among the drag racing teams to receive support from Lucas Oil this season.
Dan Morgan, Director of Sales and Operations for Lucas Oil Products (UK) adds "Drag racing is an exciting sport, one
that demands dedication and attention to detail. It's also one that can require a great deal of vehicle maintenance.
It's great to have drivers and teams like these associated with our brand. It's great that they can help us to prove
the quality of our products. It's gratifying that we can help them to control their maintenance costs and rewarding
to see so many Lucas Oil logos on the winners' rostrum."

No Prep expands for 2019. 7th February: Paul Marston writes with news of a significant expansion of No Prep events in 2019:
The sad demise of Rockingham Dragstrip, due to the sale of Rockingham Motor Speedway, left our organisation without a home. A tragic state of affairs,
especially when the support for this kind of Drag Racing was plain to see. I think it is fair to say that UK motorsport as a whole is being squeezed more and
more by officialdom which is strangling the availability of suitable venues. The task in hand has been far from easy. finding Rockingham was so quick and
easy, but now it's gone we really have seen how hard it is to find anything.
This is our tentative schedule for the 2019 season; it will most probably change here and there and will be updated for sure. Nearly all of our dates will be one-day
events and will be two eight-car fields or one sixteen-car field. It might look like a lot of events and a lot of work for us organisers, which it is! But we just want to
ensure that No Prep grows and that the teams who have already started building race cars have not done it for nothing. The very least we can do is our best in
providing them somewhere to race.
There is also something which we now all have to face: there are some venues which have statutory noise limits, so we have tried our best to run our exciting new
Real Street Car class and Pro Street Class at the more noise-sensitive venues.
Yes we are adding a real Street Car class to our line-up. It's a no-brainer really, there are just so many stupid fast street cars out there that they deserve their own class.
The rules will be available soon but we want real street cars only in this class: street tyres, full exhaust systems, full interior etc. Not street-legal cars. The way the
rules are structured and running of the class will reflect that desire.
Then we have Pro Streetcar, this is really an anything-goes class which will also include 4WD. Rules to follow real soon.
Provisional calendar:
13th April: Lancaster Dragstrip, East Kirkby*
Real Streetcars, Pro Streetcars, both Sweet 16 (sixteen-car field)

There are a lot of people to thank regarding putting this together. There is no I in team, you know who you are, thank you all. Especially the race teams,
now you have somewhere to race.

Kelly signs up for Pomona. 7th February: If you are headed for Pomona this weekend then Jim Kelly, author of the popular
motorsports book Fuelin' Around, will be signing copies at the DRAW booth on the NHRA
Midway at the NHRA Winternationals.
"Pomona's always been special for me", said Jim. "It was the first West Coast race I worked as a photographer and
the first track I helped deliver drums of racing fuel to, to a racer by the name of Warren Johnson. Fuelin'
Around is a behind-the-scenes story of how that little fuel company took on the Goliaths of the industry. I
support the DRAW organisation and am very thankful to them for this opportunity."
The Drag Racing Association of Women is a non-profit organization which provides financial and emotional support
to qualified individuals involved in drag racing accidents at a track. From 1985 through 2017, DRAW provided a
total of $4,825,600 in financial assistance to 908 racing families.
Racers and motorsports editors have given Fuelin' Around high marks. "Fascinating and enjoyable stories,
I laughed out loud more than once" said Eurodragster.com News Editor Tog; "A page-turner you're going to attempt
to read in one shot", said John DiBartolomeo of Drag Racing Edge magazine; and "This book is great" said
Bruce Larson, NHRA Funny Car Champion.
"Jim very graciously offered to give DRAW the profits off each book they sell on the Midway throughout the season
as a donation" said Steve Leseur, DRAW Board Member. "Having been involved in the development of his story from
the beginning, I am pleased to be able to offer this window into the motorsports industry to the public."
Jim will be at the DRAW booth in Pomona each day from 10:00 to 11:00 and 13:30 to 14:30. Fuelin' Around
is also available at the National Sprint Car Museum and Hall of Fame, Santa Pod Raceway's Pod Shop, and
on Amazon.

Swift snippets. 3rd February: Topspeed Automotove Street Eliminator racer Graham Smith says that he and the Bad Apple Racing team are
preparing Snow White for her first eight-second pass. "We've matched Roger Butterworth's 9.1 but promised him an eight so there's an exciting year ahead", says Graham.
"I also wanted to say a huge thanks to our sponsors Brantwood Tyres, Serck Motorsport, US Automotive, Brentacre Specialist Insurance, Lucas Oil Products and our wing sponsors. It can't
happen without them."
Ferry deal for Isle of Man event. 3rd February: Trevor Duckworth writes that the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company are to sponsor the Jurby Drag race event to be held
on 22nd-23rd June, run by Straightliners and the Manx Drag Racing Association:
This is the first time that the IoM Steam Packet Company, well known for sponsoring the TT, Manx Grand Prix and Southern 100 road races, have sponsored drag racing.
Richard Heard from the IoM Steam Packet said they where very happy to support the new drag race venture at Jurby with a very good subsidised fares package which makes the
event very attractive to UK racers
As well as some very good travel prices, car or van up to 5.5 metres with two passengers just £70 each way and trailers £15 per metre, we also have a package with the
Penny Bridge Camp Site, with full facilities for those wanting to camp, and a hotel package at the Ramsey Park Hotel if you want to go posh.
You will need a code from Straightliners to book the travel and hotel packages. Of course you can stay in the
Jurby paddock for free as at any event. All details including sailing schedule can be found on the Straightliners web site at
www.straightlineronline.co.uk.
Straightliners and the Manx Drag Racing Association would like to thank the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for their involvement in this soon-to-be-annual
event.
Flynn: How you can help Bloodwise. 1st February: For some years the UK drag racing community has generously supported blood cancer charity
Bloodwise in tribute to late SPRC Club Secretary and racer Paula Marshall. Top Methanol Dragster and Supertwin bike racer
and long-standing Eurodragster.com sponsor and supporter Derek Flynn of Gold RV has been diagnosed with a blood cancer and
has been in touch to let readers know how they can continue to help in the fight against the various forms of the disease.
"In the space of ten weeks I went from toothache to terminal cancer", Derek told Eurodragster.com. "I went to the dentist and he found something which wasn't right. There was a tumour
below one of my teeth. The dentist sent me to a specialist who after a procedure on New Year's Eve told me the that tumour was cancerous. They removed half of the tumour and then did
a bone marrow biopsy. I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which is incurable but can be treatable with chemo and a cocktail of various drugs which have proven successful at putting
this rather nasty cancer into remission. After eighth months of chemo I can undergo stem cell transplant. I know I'm going to die, I just don't know when."
Treatment has started this week with chemo (Derek pictured with nurse Lucy), which precedes the stem cell therapy which has the potential to prolong Derek's life by some years. Derek
will be treated with his own stem cells, but cell donation is one of a number of practical ways in which Eurodragster.com readers could help.
"I don't want sympathy and I don't want endless virtue signalling on Facebook", said Derek. "I want you to give blood, or to donate stem cells. Please consider going on the register. You sit
in hospital for six hours whilst they harvest the cells. If you donate stem cells then those six hours of your time could save four lives.
"If you are too squeamish to give blood or to donate stem cells then please consider donating to Bloodwise."
Derek said that Gold RV and Bloodwise will be at the track this
year to spread the word and to encourage blood and stem cell donation. We will have more news about that in due course, but in the meantime you can find out more on Bloodwise's web
site at www.bloodwise.org.uk, donate at
www.bloodwise.org.uk/donate, or follow the Bloodwise link on the Gold RV site at
www.goldrv.co.uk.
