Dear Forum Readers,     I recently sent out a letter inviting everyone to check out my racing artwork that I'll be using in my book "If Heaven Had A Speedway", which hopefully will be out in the Summer of 2006. It's about the history of Sumter (S.C.) Speedway. Thankfully, an interested person from Kamp Speedway in Indiana told me that my web link was restricted, and he was unable to open it. I then found out the problem, and it is now available to be viewed.   The site is now OPEN, so please check out my work if you want to see some racing action paintings from the olden days (1957-1977). I'd love to read your comments, and hope that you will want to see my book in your local bookstores. I've also added a new painting to the link.   http://groups.msn.com/RebelRaceway   Thanks so much, and my apologies for the inconvenience.   Mark Osborne

Nice work. My grandfather raced jalopies in kansas before my dad and uncle were born. Unfortunatly I have little as far as pictures or information. I wish more people knew of the old days of local dirt tracks, might bring a humbleness to today's tracks that is well overdue. Brandon

Many thanks, Sleepy29. I DO appreciate the comments.
