It came to me with great sadness to find out yesterday that today's issue of National Speed Sport News will be the final one ever printed. The "racing bible" as it has been called, has always been chocked full of racing information. The internet is the key reason for it's demise. We are so spoiled now with being able to put out news as soon as it happens and being able to see it as quickly.
National Speed Sport News has been a staple in our family for over 40 years. I can remember as a kid always wanting to check the mail to see if there was a new Speed Sport, as I called it then. I would get it and just lay down on the floor, open it up, and read what all that issue had to offer. It has been, you could say, a good friend that you get to see every week and spend quality time with. Now, however, this friend is coming to visit, but they will not be coming back again. This has put a tear or 2 in my eyes while I have written this, thinking back about all of the good times. So long good friend!! Thank you for the memories!!
