8th Anniversary 9th Anniversary THE PENNY PRESS, MARCH 10, 2005 PAGE 2 LVMS introduces Thursday Night Street Wars By JOHN BISCI Special To The Penny Press

The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will intro- duce another program to combat illegal street racing – also referred to as “the illegals” – on March 17. Dubbed “Thursday Night Street Wars,” the new program will go head-to-head with “the illegals” on what has become its busiest night. An illegal street-racing accident took the life of a young motorist two weeks ago and a similar crash last week sent two more to the hospital. “We learned through the grapevine that Thursday is now the big night to congregate for illegal street racing,” said Chris Blair, LVMS senior director of drag racing operations. “Initially, we planned to conduct this new program in the early evening on selected Thursdays, but were afraid we simply might be used as a warm-up ses- sion for the late-night ‘illegals.’ We adjusted the hours to run directly against the illegal street races, thus offer- ing a safe alternative to this dangerous activity.” The Strip’s scheduled Friday night Midnight Mayhems will not be affected. Like Midnight Mayhem, Thursday Night Street Wars will be open to any licensed driver with proof of insurance. All cars and motorcycles must be street legal, driven to the track and pass a safety inspection. As an added incentive, Thursday Night Street Wars will award $100 and a trophy to the drivers turning in the fastest speed and lowest elapsed time (E.T.). “Thursday Night Street Wars hopefully will attract experienced Midnight Mayhem participants and illegal street racers who want an additional challenge,” Blair said. “Racers will compete on a fully-prepped track, just like the NHRA professional drag racers are used to.” Thursday Night Street Wars will be conducted from 8 p.m.-1 a.m. Gates will open at 7 p.m. Entry fee is $20 to race. Spectator admission is $5. Alcohol is not allowed at the events. Thursday Night Street Wars will be held on March 17, March 31, May 12, June 9, July 14, August 11 and September 15. More events may be added to the sched- ule to meet demand.

You are anointed, out our mistakes…and many who could care less about hurting us with their negative words. Some Christians live with a con- stant feeling of uneasiness, a low- level condemnation because of their mistakes and the opinions of others. Day after day, they listen to a voice that whispers ever so softly, “You’re not good enough.” If they listen to that voice long enough, they begin to believe it—and they feel rotten for several days at a time, every time they do something wrong. What we do is not nearly as important as who we are, and 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, …if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…. When we accept Christ, we receive a nature transplant (see 2 Peter 1:3, 4). God puts His Spirit in us and gives us a brand-new beginning. And we need to see ourselves in light of who God says we are—not in our feel- ings or what the world says we are. Truth is greater than feelings, but too often we are prone to believe our feelings more than we believe the Word. The problem is that we don’t know who we are. We’re insecure. We base our worth and value on what other people think and in what we do. But believing the truth will ultimately overcome those feelings. And the truth is that feelings lie! Feelings do not dictate truth. There is only one truth and it is Jesus, who said, …I am the way, the truth, and the life… (John 14:6). I struggled with my feelings for years, but God patiently taught me the truth until I developed some spiritual maturity. Then I was able to overcome my feelings by saying, “God has forgiven me, and now I’ve THE PENNY PRESS, MARCH 10, 2005 PAGE 13 Challenge: Take the biggest, heaviest production passenger vehicle made and make it handle like a sports car. Answer: Rollgard™. Like a lot of people, my life precludes the Porsche 911 Turbo or the Saleen Mustang I might buy if practicality wasn’t a consideration. In my case, kids, mountainous terrain, and a lot of stuff to schlep around pretty much rule out sports cars as an option.

And so, in the last five years, I’ve driven a Four Wheel Drive Ford F-150 and two Four Wheel Drive Ford Excursions. All of them, including the brand new Power Stroke Diesel Excursion, are big, tough trucks with a lot of torque, a lot of power and a lot of space.

The downside is that they all have a fairly high center of gravity and are susceptible to rolling into a turn at highway speeds.

And all of them have been tamed by Rollgard.

My name is Fred Weinberg and I don’t work for Rollgard, which means you can call me at my office, 702-740-5588, and I’ll be glad to give you the benefit of my 170,000 miles of driving with the product.

Simply put, Rollgard is a set of counter springs which keeps the rear wheels firmly planted on the road. It was designed by a race car engineer to give any vehicle with leaf springs (that’s most pickup trucks, Here’s the F-150. We put about vans and many SUV’s) 50,000 miles on it with Rollgard the same kind of han- dling control which a race car can get from the various adjustments you see them make in the pits on race day.

What it does is to allow you to steer the vehicle without constant corrections. In other words, point the vehicle where you want to go and it goes there. Last summer, we tested an Excursion with Yes, the Excursion is big. With Rollgard, it is very well behaved! Rollgard under full safety conditions on closed off pieces of Nevada highways in connection with open road racing events.

We discovered that you could blast this 8,000 pound vehicle down a winding highway at speeds in excess of 95 miles an hour with complete control only using a very light touch on the steering wheel. The professionals behind the wheel were extremely impressed.

Now you’ll probably never have to drive a big, heavy truck like that, but it’s sure nice to know that you could. Because if it handles that well at those speeds, imagine how well it works at regular interstate highway speeds.

The best news is that Rollgard isn’t very expensive. And, because it’s a Las Vegas company, we’ve arranged a special deal for you: Buy it at any of the dealers below and we’ll send you a $25 rebate when you mail us a copy of the paid receipt and the rebate cou- pon from this ad. And one last thing. Rollgard has an absolute 30-day money back guarantee. $25 REBATE COUPON You can’t offer one of those unless the product actually works.
