I did the same thing too, Gino. LA Times Sports section Monday morning. That's how we got the drag racing results back then! And the great Shav Glick was certainly one of the best with his many feature length motorsports articles over the years. Drag racing, of course the Indy 500, and even some NASCAR "back in the day". He sure must have been a big fan.
But, that was also back when America had some really great newspapers. A one-stop source for most all information.
