[F500] FormulaCar Mag

[Rob Howden]

Hi Dave,

If have no real defense except for lack of time in getting our website
up-and-running but I finally made it happen and all information can be found
at www.formulacarmag.com. I don't ever remember receiving a message from
you, either via e-mail or phone, which is odd. We are a full-time publishing
company that produces two additional publications, so there has always been
someone in the office to take calls.

Regardless, we are now rolling along with five issues under our belt and
Runoffs coverage set to fill up the final issue of 2003. We're going to
stick with six issues for 2004 and will then look at nine issues for '05.

If anyone who did not get a mag at the Runoffs would like to receive a
sample issue, simply drop me an e-mail (rhowden at formulacarmag.com) and we'll
get an issue out to you ASAP. If you have one and want to subscribe, you can
download an order form from the website. I hope to have on-line capabilities
by the end of November.

Thanks for the welcome...its great to be aboard.

Take care,

Rob Howden
