Quarter Mile Foundation to release "Voices from the Tower" DVD
Spotlights three veteran event announcers
Parma Heights, Ohio (DECEMBER 10, 2012) – Traci Hrudka, chairman of the Quarter Mile Foundation has announced the Foundation has begun production of a special, introductory volume DVD for the PROJECT 1320 documentary, titled “Voices from the Tower.”
In announcing the new DVD, Ms. Hrudka stated, “There have been many people waiting for this day to come; including the members of the Foundation’s Board of Directors and the Advisory Board. We are very excited to get to this point, especially for all of our supporters and those that believe in this mission. Without the support and contributions we wouldn’t be able to make this happen. We would like to thank everyone that has been a part of this crusade, and hope all will see this release as a testimony that we will make this documentary happen.
“The DVD uses portions of the interviews of three legendary drag racing announcers: Bob Frey, Jon Lundberg and Dave McClelland. With well over 20 hours of interviews of the three men, and 150 years of announcing experience between them, ‘Voices from the Tower’ should give the audience a very broad overview of how the sport grew and evolved.”
Dan Koterba (Atlanta, Ga.), who has conducted and filmed the majority of the interviews, is overseeing the production. Koterba observed, “We want to let the drag racing community and fans get a feel for the look and the texture of the documentary. It will not be a complete ‘interview-by-interview’ production, but rather a number of people who will be discussing a range of topics; and the interviews will be edited in such a manner to present several perspectives.
“In the ‘Voices from the Tower,’ you’ll find them making their observations about the events and situations they viewed as announcers, plus offering commentary about topics we might not expect to hear from them.”
Voices from the Tower will be priced at $20.00 plus shipping and handling from the Quarter Mile Foundation website (www.quartermilefoundation.com). The Production work is currently underway, with an anticipated release in early 2013.

NHRA NEWS: NHRA, ENDERS HONORED AT THE WOMEN IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE FOUNDATION AWARDS IN INDIANAPOLIS
GLENDORA, Calif. (Dec. 7, 2012) – Lyn St. James’ Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation honored NHRA, Pro Stock racer Erica Enders as well as her Victor Cagnazzi owned team at its 10th annual Women in the Winner’s Circle Awards dinner on Friday evening. The dinner was held in conjunction with the International Motorsports Industry Show held in Indianapolis.
At the annual celebration, St. James presented the Leadership Award to NHRA President Tom Compton. This award recognizes individuals or corporations that have undertaken extraordinary measures and show outstanding initiative in promoting diversity with the racing industry.
“The credit goes to our founder and my mentor Wally Parks, who created this organization 62 years ago. He did it to find places for people to enjoy this great sport and his hobby,” Compton said. “We have racers at every level across the country and it has always been that way. It is the most accessible major form of motorsports in the world and we are very proud of that and this award means a lot to the NHRA.”
Enders received the Outstanding Achievement Award after her history-making season by becoming the first woman to win in the Pro Stock class at the race at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago. She scored two No. 1 qualifying spots and won four races to finish fourth in the 2012 points standings.
Enders became the third female to win this award and joins Ashley Force Hood who received it in 2010 and 2011 recipient, Danica Patrick.
"This is a huge honor to receive the Outstanding Achievement Award by Lyn St James,” Enders said. “I have been a part of Lyn's program from day one. She does so much for women in all forms of motorsports and it means the world to me for her to recognize what we accomplished this year. To have my name on a list with women like Ashley Force Hood and others who have received this award is pretty awesome."
“NHRA has a tremendous history of participation and success for women in racing, and I’m extremely proud of Erica, who is also a graduate of our driver development academy. Women now have victories in every national class of NHRA,” St. James said. “Unfortunately, she’s not able to be here due to the fact that she’s getting married this weekend, but I suspect she has her sights set on a championship in the future. NHRA has a commitment to cultural, technical, and geographical diversity and has generated championships for drivers, such as this year when Antron Brown was the first African-American to win a Top Fuel championship, and dates back to Shirley Muldowney, the first driver ever to win three national championships in Top Fuel. We applaud their leadership.”
The team owned by Victor Cagnazzi who Enders raced for during her historic season, were honored with an Opportunity Award during the evening. This award recognizes teams, individuals or sponsors that create significant opportunities for women drivers to excel within the industry.
The Women in the Winner’s Circle Awards is the foundation’s major fundraiser, celebrating the success of women in racing, helping them build strong ties with each other and with the motorsports community, and honoring those who have provided leadership and opportunities for women in racing.

George Ray Wildcat Hotrod Drag Strip Book Available
In 1961 George Ray followed his dream. He bought a bean field near his home in Paragould AR and built a drag strip. He ran the racing heads up-no handicaps, his security was himself and the pistol on his hip. He developed his own rule book. The track was a huge success, big fields of racer every week.
While George passed in 2009, the track lives on.
Darrell Dickson came from a family that raced at George Ray's Wildcat Drag Strip. When Darrel's father was killed, George became the young man's mentor.
Darrell has written a book about George and the track.
Paperback, 152 pages and full of great photos.
I have a limited supply of the book for sale, $15.00 + 4.39 media mail shipping, securely packed with delivery confirmation.
Contact me for ordering and payment details.

Cannons to Appear on Southern Hot Rod Association’s Tuesday Night Radio Show
(12-01-2012) Lyman, SC – Fans of Pro Modified legend Scotty Cannon will have the opportunity to catch up on what he and son Scott Jr. have been up to the last couple of seasons. "It has been nice to be home and catch up on some of my business stuff. I have also enjoyed getting to spend time with family. After so many years on the road it is definitely something different. I still get calls from my friends that race and I stay in the loop as best as I can. There are some days that I miss racing said Scotty."
In many ways this class has changed a lot with the addition of the turbo charged entries. And of course the nitrous and blower combinations still generate a saga of their own. "We still have all of our equipment and could be ready to race if a deal were to come along. We have raced the car in some local match races over the last couple of seasons said Scott Jr." Cannon Jr. also works in the family business, an enterprise that includes a drive-in restaurant, tournament fishing lakes, and some rental properties.
Scotty still remembers the infamous run four years ago at the Shake Down at E-Town. A run that held the outlaw record for over four years. "We had really never had much experience with a screw charger. I had made a few runs before the Englishtown event, but did not have much data to work with. The car ran a 5.738 @ 252.71. When I think about all the work it took even for small gains years ago, it seems kind of crazy. I sure would like the chance to get back out there and see what kind of runs we could make today said Scotty." The younger Cannon seconds that notion, "my dad and I would love the opportunity race again if the right deal came along. Whether it was driving, tuning and consulting for another Team, it wouldn't matter to us said Scott Jr."
SHRA Radio is hosted by Steve Coccaro, Carl Robinson & Mike Fabian and brings you interesting topics and tech talk every week.
Join the show on Tuesday evening December 4 at 7:00 P.M. (Eastern) to hear Scotty and Scott Cannon talk about the past, present and their future plans in the sport of Drag Racing. Tune in at http://www.shraonline.com/Radio.html
