Smith Grabs $ 10k Pinks Win
EJCHS Track and Field
Cont. from Page IB
Smith, who competes in the
Pro class at Atlanta Dragway’s
Summit ET Series events,
was definitely happy with the
results.
“My Corvette eats Mustangs
every day," he said when
asked about competing against
Mustangs in the quarterfinals
and the final.
A long line of fans waited for
an autograph from Smith after
the event.
“I have given autographs
before, but never to anyone over
five years old," he said. Smith,
who has been racing for five
years, also mentioned this was
also his first real win.
In addition to the round money,
Smith was awarded $10,000 in
cash for his win, and also won a
toolbox filled with $8,000 worth
of tools donated by Pinks title
sponsor NAPA.
A diverse field made the cut,
including a ’49 Hudson, a diesel
powered pickup, a Corvette and
the usual collection of popular
Mustangs and Camaros.
Six Atlanta Dragway regulars
were selected. Along with even
tual winner Smith, and Blalock,
also selected were Wendy
Moulton of Winder, Larry
Chance of Canton, Roger Kobos
of Guyton, and Travis Bryant of
Bowman.
Pinks All Out is a spin-off
of the original program “Pinks,’’
which aired in 2005 with the
premise of old style, “lose the
race, lose your ride’’ pink slip
racing. “All Out’’ is a success
ful effort by host and execu
tive producer, Rich Christensen,
to bring grass roots style drag

racing to television. Instead of
the typical “Christmas Tree’’
start, Christensen’s classic “arm
drop’’ first ensures both racers
are ready, and then starts them
off in a style similar to 50s style
drag racing. However, Pinks
does use the staging portion of
the “Christmas Tree’’ to ensure
both racers are positioned cor
rectly at the starting line.
The Atlanta Dragway program
is scheduled to air on August 14
at 9 p.m. on the Speed network.

The inaugural East Jackson
Track and Field season came
to an end this past weekend,
as two Eagles traveled to
Jefferson for the boys’ state
finals.
Zach Gilbert placed seventh
in the triple jump on Thursday,
going 4311” to break his own
school record.
The event winner, Rashad
James of Swainsboro, went
48’00”.
Meanwhile Brandon Banks
cut nine seconds off of his per
sonal record to run a 10:29.73
in the 3200-meters, finishing
fifth.
The winner, Matt Gossett of
Wesleyan, ran a 10:09.550.
“When you (set a personal
record) in the region and state
meets, then you really can’t as
a coach ask for much more,’’
said coach Steve Collins.
“We had a great year, and the
expectations will go up from
here.’’
East Jackson’s Zach Gilbert set a new personal record in triple
jump, taking seventh overall in the state finals in Jefferson.

Only $ 29
to anyone who has never
been to a chiropractor
before (or hasn't been
in a long time).
Dear Friend,
My name is Dr. Kevin L. Strohman. We are
celebrating our 2 year anniversary in
Commerce, Georgia. To show my appreciation,
I have agreed to "give away" (to anyone who
asks for it) $225 worth of my services for only
$29. That's right $29.
We have had an overwhelming response to
our new office and have already helped a lot
of people feel better and live healthier, more
productive lives through Chiropractic Care.
And now, I'd like to introduce even more
people to the many benefits our profession has
to offer.
For instance, chiropractic care may be able
to help you if you are suffering from any of the
following conditions:
• Migraine headaches
• Numbness in arms and legs
• Lower back pain
• Muscle Spasms
...And a host of other problems ranging
from dizziness to ringing in the ears.
These symptoms can be caused whenever
the vertebrae in your spine are out of
alignment, because these "misalignments"
directly affect your nervous system.
Fortunately, many of these and other similar
afflictions may be relieved or eliminated by
proper chiropractic treatments.
So if you have always wanted to "check
out" chiropractic and see what it can do for
you, now is the best time to do so because only
$29 will get you all of the services I normally
charge new patients $225 for.
• In-depth consultation about your health
and well-being
• Complete chiropractic spinal exam
• Full set of specialized x-rays to determine
if a misalignment in your spine is causing your
problem. (Note: Nobody gives these kinds of
x-rays free. They would cost you at least $100.)
• Analysis of your x-rays and spinal exam
to evaluate what needs to be done to correct
your problem.
• Answers to all your questions concerning
chiropractic care and what it can do for you.
What are you waiting for? Call us for an
appointment Today! 706-335-2225. Tell the
receptionist you'd like to come in for the
special New Patient Introductory
Examination. Don't delay - relief is only
minutes away.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin L. Strohman
