    Question Anybody Else Get A Mail Solicitation For 'American Thunder?'

    Looks like ANOTHER NASCAR magazine. Jeffy on the cover.

    I took the reply card (on which the only answer is 'sign me up and send me the first issue free') and took a big, black, thick, Sharpie and wrote, neatly:

    'NO! Do NOT send me the premiere issue absolutely free. As a matter of fact, don't send me ANY issues nor solicit any of my business UNTIL you begin covering the most exciting racing in the world from the Indy Racing League.'

    Then I put it in the quaint little postage paid envelope and sent it back to 'em.

    I wonder if they negotiated the rights to that name since it is a very popular scoot show on Speed?

    I never opened the evenlope they sent me. I saw a thing about it over at jayski.com. I guess he has a column in this new mag.

    But I'm just sort of obsessive - a prerequisite for posting here, I think - so I'll just request that the author procure a thesaurus at his earliest convenience and start misusing a different adjective that he finds equally pleasing to the ear.

    Happy New Year.

    The letter that came with mine said that they cover IRL and ALMS
    too, not just NASCAR. Not that this caused me to be interested.
