Amici Triumphi...

Burt Levy is busy beating the bushes and trying to raise enough money to 
get another book published (in his Last Open Road series).  In the real world 
books about motorsports have a very limited market.  Burt has to 'self 
publish in order to get er done'.  That takes money, which he raises by selling 
ads in an entertaining section of his books that mimics the ads in period 
motorsports magazines.  Recall that we (the FOT) have purchased such ads in the 
past.

Burt started his racing career in a ratty looking TR3.  He proudly 
considers himself a member of the TRIUMPH community.  His second book (Montezuma's 
Ferrari) was dedicated to our own Mike Belfer (Steve Belfer's dad, and my 
mentor).  Now he, on his own, has decided to remember Jack Drews in the new 
book.  That's a done deal and will happen whether or not he gets any funds from 
the FOT.  I appreciate Burt's remembering Uncle Jack.  As such, I've 
already sent Burt a contribution to help publish the new book.  

NO PRESSURE, but I encourage all of you, but especially if you were 
particularly close to Jack Drews, to consider doing the same.  It does not have to 
be a big number.    If you choose to do so, send your check payable to Think 
Fast Ink, 1010 Lake Street, Oak Park, Illinois, 60301.

PS  Oh yeah...Burt told me to tell you...if you need some ideas for 
motorsports related Gifts for the Holidays, you can visit his website at 
www.lastopenroad.com.  I bought four pairs of earrings (grand daughters).  It'll save 
me a shopping trip.
