sounds like she lives in my state from her bio on the book page. kind of neat.

a few years ago I went out to Las Vegas for a wedding and the nascar guys were in the area for some event and eventually on the same day they were returning home as I was. let me tell you they were a bit nutty. two guys raced their travel bags. in the line to the ticket counter. Topping it all off they were dressed head to toe in Nascar gear.

It seems to support the idea of “find a need and fill it.” Although, in this case the need found Barbara. Good reason to keep my eyes and ears open to potential opportunities and ideas.

Thanks for making us aware of this book Marc. It sounds like a worthwhile book to read.

Sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for sharing, Marc. I’m sure any woodworker who’s ever wanted to make some money with his skills could learn a lot from Barbara Howell.

I know several NASCAR enthusiasts and they are all, to be perfectly frank, completely nuts when it comes to collecting NASCAR related stuff. I mean rooms and rooms of the the stuff. They seem to have no lack of budget for purchasing and displaying their prizes.

I don’t think I have ever seen any for sale. They must pass on the stuff to future generations of fans.
