[The Little Lizard]

Heavy hearts and prayers for those currently be impacted by the sad tragic breaking news coming out of Auburn, California. A large uncontroled fire, as of the time of this post has burned over 275 acres with many, many homes and structures destroyed and burning. Scores of residents are fleeing and shelters have been set up in conjunction with the Read Cross and Placer County Sheriff. We pray that all will be safe and for those in the drag racing community that may be effected. Some of those in our thoughts are:

1. I/SA Randy Bursell, Auburn CA, '77 Roadrunner

2. Jim Paul, Auburn, Calif.,

3. John Propp, Auburn, Calif. dragster

4. Howard Anderson, Auburn, CA, AA/Supercharged

5. John Eckelson, Auburn, CA '23 Ford

And many others
