The dinner will mark the official conclusion of AARWBA’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Helton will share his important insights with AARWBA members and guests in Indy one day after the annual NASCAR NEXTEL Cup awards cer- emony in New York City. Helton has been a key 842-7005 leader in growing NASCAR into America’s No. 1 motorsports series and one of the country’s most popular mainstream sports attractions. Before becoming NASCAR president in late 2000, Helton had management positions at the Atlanta and Talladega tracks, and later was NASCAR’s vice president for competition and then senior VP and chief operating officer. “I’m happy to accept AARWBA’s invitation to speak at the All-America Team dinner,” said Helton. “AARWBA members have played an important role in the growth of NASCAR and motorsports in general. I look forward to this opportunity, and to join AARWBA in recognizing the champion drivers of 2005, and congratulating AARWBA on a successful 50th anniversary.” AARWBA members voted NASCAR’s founding France Family as Newsmaker of the Half-Cen- tury, the headline event of the 50th Anniversary Celebration.

    B Page 1 of 45 EDITORSPEAK … email Trevor [email protected] I’m a few weeks into my new role now and I think I’m beginning to get my head back into the car industry after a 3-year break while I fulfilled the farmer / sheep milk entrepreneur / builder / plumber / electrician / handyman brief. I’ve enjoyed the flexibility of being on the farm (let) and getting out in the open air every day (yes even the wet days can be OK …. the wet AND cold less so), plus no motorised transport other than the tractor equals great fitness, and I will miss that. However, like most of you, cars are in my blood, and you never quite get rid of that, so the transition hasn’t been too hard. Like most moves it’s the people that I will miss most - the peninsula is just isolated enough to attract the creative, independent, idiosyncratic types which make the community such an interesting and vibrant place to live. That and the sea views …. and the beach at the end of the farm …. sigh. That said I am looking forward to reconnecting with everyone we left behind when we moved up north and intend to be racing in the next FAE Winter Series, so look out for the loony with the “L” plates wobbling around at the back of the field. Anyway, here comes the blatant plug. Feel free to call in to Ian Humphrey Motors on Tremaine Ave and have a chat and a coffee anytime. And if you are looking for a car, well you can be assured of a great Manawatu Car Club member only deal!! I recently went to watch the newly released Ford vs Ferrari movie.
