The March 2003 edition of North American Pylon is now in the mail on its
way to subscribers.
This month we cover the Fort Myers, FL, National Tour which attracted 190
drivers, several of whom trashed their cars.
A week later came the Fort Myers, FL, Pro Solo, which attracted 162
drivers, several of whom trashed their cars.
What's wrong with this picture?
Also this month we cover the San Francisco Region's outing at Candlestick
Park which attracted 315 entries, none of whom trashed their respective
cars. And we cover SFR's Round 4 at the Network Associates Coliseum which
attracted 287 entries and a new element at the end of the day called
"Sideshow" which has plagued the City of Oakland for a couple of years.
Las Vegas Region gets under way at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after
losing a previous site.
PROrg staged a pair of events on back-to-back weekends at
California Speedway's lot in Fontana, CA. Gary Thomason won both over slim
fields.
7248 People paid between $9 and $12 to watch a "Drifting" contest
in the Irwindale (CA) Speedway parking lot. "Drifting" is a single-car at a
time event where the driver lets the rear end hang out in a manner similar
to a dirt track sprint car. The winner is determined by style points. There
is no timing. Obviously American Idol fans can't be wrong. <G>
