As a full-time freelance writer, I have the incredible opportunity to work on a story in which I attend several of the stock-car racing schools. I've already driven at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, and a week from today, on Jan. 20, I've got the dream chance to drive at Talladega ... the longest and fastest track in the sport.

After that, I've got sessions lined up with a private coach at the famed Hickory Motor Speedway, as well as the Richard Petty and Jeff Gordon schools.

What I'd like to do is this ... would there be anyone on this board who has a spare Apollo 12 patch that they could get me by Friday, Jan. 18? I've got a driver's uniform, and I'd like to wear the patch on my uniform in honor of my favorite flight crew.

I'd be glad to pay for the patch and the shipping. Depending on the artwork each chooses to run, pictures of the patch would run in at least two magazines.

If so, give me a shout off the board at my e-mail address, apollo18cdr@yahoo.com
