Wolf Photographer: Jeffrey A. Wolf Contributing Artist: Heather D. Wolf Logo and Web site: Nancy Long Story Teller by: Jeff Wolf Technology is Love it or hate it Technology is what makes the world go around. Technology is a big part of what we do here at WMM. Recently, I ve had some Technological issues here at the office, hating it at that point, it was hampering me in doing what I do for you fine folks out there in internet land. My wireless internet connection was so slow that I had a hard time working on the magazine. Well, this was totally unacceptable!!! I made a call to my local ISP and got that quickly remedied. I also had a small issue with my portable that I produce the magazine on, which was a bother. But the good thing is that these issues have been resolved and as always the magazine is still going strong. We are in the process of gearing up for the 5th Year Anniversary issue in June. I hope all my plans fall into place with this issue. Stay Tuned. But for now I have to finish the April issue and get started on May s issue. Until then, set back, relax and enjoy your Easter Sunday and take a break from the technology except email, when I send you the notice that the April issue is online and ready for you!!!

Hunters Custom Auto Show has always been a big favorite of mine. It is a top notch indoor show right here in my area and always signified that spring and the outdoor shows were right around the corner. I began attending this show as a spectator before the magazine ever began. It has a little bit of everything and may have become a bit smaller, but it seems there are now more pre 72 rods and customs than ever before and the quality has not faultered. Bobby Alloway usually bring some of the cars that he has built to put on display. The show is held at the Tennesee State Fairgrounds on a yearly basis. If you are in this area in early March I would suggest that you stop by and check it out. WMM 4 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 5

Here we are on Easter Sunday finishing up the April issue of the magazine. Yesterday was a very busy day for us here at WMM. We began the day with a bench racing trip to Hot Rods & Threads, we followed that up with a visit to my buddy Chris Tackett s house to check out his cool 69 Chevrolet C-10 hauler. What a cool ride. I had seen photos but was pleased to see it in real life and take a short trip in it to lunch. After this we headed back to my place to continue bench racing before heading to Christiana, TN to Miller s Grocery for some killer home cooked grub. We followed the evening up with a trip to Mt. Juliet, Tennessee where Chick-Fil-A was hosting one of their Saturday evening Cruise-In s. The crowd was there, the hot rods were clean and in rare form and the evening wound down and we headed back to The Boro and the WMM office. Folks let me tell you, you have the make most of each and every minute of the day! Do not waste time, time is too precious not to spend it with friends, family and loved ones. Make sure to make the most of it by doing what you want to with the folks you want to do it with! WMM Let s Bench Race!!! benchracing@wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 40 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 41
