    < mill NASCAR OF NASCAR ■ TP'S FAST, ITS FURIOUS, IT'S SPINE- I tingling, jump-out-of-youn-seat action, a sport created by a fan for the fans, it’s all part of the American dream. Conceived in a hotel room in Daytona, Florida, in 1948, NASCAR is now America’s fastest-growing sport and is fast becoming one of America’s most-watched sports. As crowds flock to see state-of-the-art, 700-horsepower cars powering their way around high-banked ovals, outmaneuvering, outpacing and outthinking each other, NASCAR has passed the half-century mark. 50 Years of NASCAR captures all that has made Bill France’s dream into a firm, big-money reality. It traces the history and the development of the sport through the faces behind the scene who have made the sport such a success and the personalities behind the helmets—the stars that the crowds flock to see. There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport. Packed throughout with dramatic color illustrations, each page is an action-packed celebration of all that has made the sport what it is today. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an armchair follower of the sport, 50 Years of NASCAR is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the sport. $29.95 USA/ $44.95 CAN THIS IS A CARLTON BOOK ISBN 1 85868 874 4 Copyright © Carlton Books Limited 1998 Project Editor: Chris Hawkes First published 1998 Project Art Editor: Zoe Maggs Reprinted with corrections 1999, 2000 Picture Research: Catherine Costelloe 10 9876 5 4321 Production: Sarah Corteel Design: Graham Curd, Steve Wilson All rights reserved.

    Tell Tale Team Continental needs you to run for a board position. Nominations open at the October General meeting. VOLUME 25, ISSUE 9 September 2015 TC President's Message Dear TC, I hope your summer has concluded in an excellent manner. I’ve talked to a few of you that have really gotten a lot of track time… I’m jealous! As I write this, it’s unfortunately coming off of a pretty serious decision that had to be made. Our coffers are very light, to the point that another in- season event would have been a risk to break even, and we simply cannot afford a loss right now. The board had to vote to cancel the October 3 track day, if we had waited to the general meeting, we would have started to in- cur fees we just could not afford, even if the event was still cancelled. Let me re-itereate... OCTOBER 3 TRACK DAY IS CANCELLED. As this is bad news, I’d like to encourage all to look ahead and see what we can do to avoid being in this situation again. The finance committee is re-assembling and will be looking at our funding situation carefully. We do have a lot of money in the Baggs account, but that money is set aside for specific things… it can’t just be used to bail us out when the checking account is a bit light. The “Attendance Improvement” Ad-Hoc is also going to be doing some work figuring out the best way to get more people out to our events in the future.
