*...word from Dr Dave that Sprintcar "Don Brown" died after a long illness.  (Don Rudy)
*Just talked to Dana Wilson this afternoon.  He called me from the hospital.  He was work-       
  ing around his house when he slipped and fell.  His head/neck struck a post and as a result
  suffered a broken neck.  The break is at C-2 which is the same as actor Christopher
  Reeves suffered some time back rendering him paralyzed.  Fortunate Dana's break did not
  cause any paralysis.  The doctor said he was one lucky S.O.B.  He is remaining in the hos-
  pital perhaps through this weekend although there is a chance he will be released sooner.
  When he's released he will be wearing a C-Collar for sometime allowing him no movement
  of his neck.  12 weeks is the estimate for the C-Collar.  Please say your prayers for Dana
  for a full recovery.   (Mike Waters)

*NASCAR announced today that the unofficial results of Saturday's Toyota All-Star Showdown
  Grand National Division race at Irwindale (Ca) Speedway have been revised, resulting in original
  runner-up David Gilliland being declared the winner.  The car driven by Mike Olsen, originally
  listed as the winner in the unofficial results, failed post-race inspection. Olsen's crew chief, Harry
  Norcross, was determined to be in violation of Section 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car
  racing) and Section 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components, and/or equipment that do not conform
  to NASCAR rules) of the NASCAR rule book. Olsen's car had unapproved right-side wheels
  which exceeded the maximum width of 9 inches and were less than the 27 pound minimum weight.
  The violations dropped Olsen to 31st in the official race finish. Gilliland and all others in the event
  moved up one position as a result.  Irwindale Speedway November 12, 2005.  Results: 1) David
  Gilliland, 2) Matt Kobyluck, 3) Ryan Moore, 4) Sean Caisse, 5) Scott Gaylord, 6) Andy
