Thanks to the Greene County Commissioners for inviting us back again this year. Michael Schindel, publisher The Flashlight Drag Crew is happy to have the longest winter that I can remember —behind us. During that long winter, the Airport started a building project, only to be delayed by Old Man Winter. The good news is that we are here and racing. If you are new to the races, hopefully you won’t be able to tell that we had to make changes to the layout of the Flashlight Drags. For the regulars, please help us work through the changes. Changes? Yes, once again we have a few new ideas that we want to try. Based on racer feedback, we eliminated the Big Dog Class. However, we also recognize that these cars also want to race. To be fair to the true street cars, tuners and trucks, the old Big Dog cars are now called Outlaws. And they will have there own event immediately following the traditional four hours of the Flashlight Drags. The new event is called the Outlaw Hour. It will run from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Spectators will get two shows for the price of one. So, please sit back and enjoy the season with us. And as always, we welcome your feedback. And make sure to follow us on Facebook. On behalf of the Flashlight Drag Crew, I extend our appreciation to all of you. Be Safe. Have Fun.

FRANNY'S CANDIES “I roll the Kettledrum candy in my mouth.” Franny pictures herself chewing on Boston Fruit Slices and her jaw flexes automatically. “Chewy wedges taste lemon and lime and go BOOM-bah-BOOM when I bite into one.” She adds, “When I unwrap a second Kettledrum out of its tight parchment, I examine the sour and sugar-copper rind. They are better enjoyed in pairs. Tomás, why aren’t Kettledrum candies hard? Like Lifesavers or Butterscotches? When they clink against your teeth, they could sound like a snare or a top hat. I can hear a soft bass rumble a tympani symphony deep within me. I swear, the Kettledrums make my voice go baritone when I sing BOOM-bah-BOOM after eating one. It’s true: I’ve tried it!” Franny confesses this to me under her gummy-bear breath and I agree unconditionally the way a best friend must. We come here because most of her schoolmates do not make their way down the block to Doña Dolce.

  • 1999 Saturn Sc2
    1999 SATURN SC2 Saturn is the General Motors division that likes to say it sells “a different kind of car”. The 1999 SC coupe fits this description in that it has an innovative third door on the left side, to facilitate access to the rear. Interior and trunk Getting in and out of a car this low requires a fair amount of flexibility. The front buckets are comfortable though broad-shouldered people would probably appreciate a wider backrest at shoulder level. Access to the rear is facilitated by a small door on the left that opens front-to-back like the “suicide” door on some pickups. Unique in a car, the door would be appreciated more if it provided access to a comfortable seat. This is not the case: the backrest is straight and poorly shaped, the seat cushion is not much better, and head and leg room are tight. In short, a seat for emergencies and short hops. The third door creaked on bumps, something we hope is limited to our test car. The trunk is relatively big and easy to load, and has a handy storage space for windshield washer containers and other such things. Folding the 60/40 split seat frees up more space. Safety and convenience Much quieter inside than the other Saturns we’ve tested, the SC2’s interior is also better finished. However, using the controls in general, and the turn signal and windshield wiper levers in particular, still requires more effort and concentration than is acceptable in this day and age. Storage spaces are relatively limited but handily located.

  • Tire Tracks the Electronic Version
    FEBRUARY 2012 TIRE TRACKS THE ELECTRONIC VERSION The family of the late John Alton Brown, founder of the Waynesboro-Staunton Region and an AACA director, gave the Region 86 articles entitled "Down the Road A Piece" written by Brown from the late 1970's until his death in April 1991. Many of these articles were printed in our Region newsletters and all are now available on our website. Since we haven’t had any winter yet this year, I thought we’d look back with John on the ―good old days‖. Stu Allen-Editor which leads to the heart of the city. When the snow comes to the city or farm, the prime mover of goods is still the horse. Where are those big, noisy, exciting automobiles that filled the streets and the dirty roads last summer? They are in the horse barns or what are now being called "garages"---sharing some of the space with Old Dubbin; their wheels up on jacks, and covered with sheets or tarpaulins. Their radiators have been drained and their cylinders filled with kerosene awaiting the return of Spring. When the tulips are once again in bloom, then their radiators will be filled with fresh water, their tanks with fresh gasoline, and the fragile tires will be filled with air from a foot pump. The The year is 1912 and it is winter. There are four dry cell batteries will be re-installed and checked inches of snow on the ground and the temperature for power.
