Hi Keith,
Long time. I wish you the best in 2013.
I'm not sure if you belong to the Canadian Motorsport History Group, but thought I'd pass along the info below, just in case.
My USRRC book is in the final proof stages. It's taking longer than I thought, but the end is in sight.
Regards,
Mike Martin _
