FROM<br />
THE<br />
Pit<br />
By The<br />
Editor<br />
Here at Illinois Racer - we're excited, happy and<br />
a bit depressed all wrapped into one - possibly<br />
what's causing my high blood pressure of late .<br />
HAPPY BECAUSE .. . As our magazine has pro :<br />
grassed over the past 17 months we are reaching out<br />
much farther than first expected and were getting<br />
very happy response not only throughout Illinois but<br />
from advertisers <strong>In</strong> Iowa, Kentucky and <strong>In</strong>diana . Our<br />
subscribers hole from all over the U . S. including<br />
Canada, California, Florida, Pennsylvania .<br />
Massachusetts, Vermont, and many more, making us<br />
extremely happy !<br />
EXCITED BECAUSE , .. Our big race for local racers<br />
from every track in the midwest to be held on the mile<br />
at Springfield in September has prompted calls and<br />
letters from everywhere already, and people are in .<br />
forming us of their interest to help pull this off for the<br />
Illinois fans and racers alike .<br />
DEPRESSED BECAUSE .. . There are still a certain<br />
number of advertisers within our pages who make it<br />
extremely difficult for us to keep in existence . We<br />
honestly do work this magazine as a "sideline<br />
shoestring" that costs a tremendous amount to<br />
operate. We please ask that you do your best to meet<br />
your promises and obligations and help keep us going<br />
and our readers even happier .<br />
DEPRESSED EVEN MORE .,, Because a number of<br />
authorities on "Springfield Racing" have been trying<br />
to discourage us, on our planned event on the mile .<br />
We've been called stupid, crazy, ignorant and worse<br />
for ever imagining such a deal, mostly because of the<br />
extreme high cost of such a show and the past ex .<br />
perience and failures in attendance and resulting<br />
firsonical losses. This has been especially dishearten .<br />
<strong>In</strong>g. because of the simple fact that we definitely are<br />
not wealthy promoters and we're relying totally on<br />
what we really believe the Illinois "local" fans will<br />
support and pay to see . MORE of their own people<br />
"Racin''' on the "mile ." OUTLAW LATE MODELS and<br />
STREET CARS for the largest one day purse for Illinois<br />
Dirt Racers !<br />
So maybe we can do it! Maybe we can't! But if<br />
you come, YII guarantee you you'll see more topnotch,<br />
beautiful late model machinery than you've<br />
seen in one place in Illinois before, coupled with some<br />
of the closest, fastest racing you ever dreamed of!<br />
And if it means anything to you cr not, take in can .<br />
siderotion a couple weeks ago at Nazareth, PA, on<br />
the mile, where the Outlaw Late Models invaded and<br />
reached speeds of 140 m .p .h ., breaking ail track<br />
records, and besting even the championship dirt car<br />
times by a whopping 3 seconds !<br />
So keep you're eyes open here! CAUSE TRACK<br />
RECORDS ARE GONNA FALL! !<br />
Till Next Month - Dick
