Frank,
  Brain (maybe you meant Brian) Johnson is not a member of NAMDRA and not
the person I meant. But the book I meant you be setup just lie the AMC
Performance American Style but with all modern tech, data, tricks, etc.
in it. Now that it hasn't been done as promised by this NAMDRA member and
even if he is still working on it, I say tough! Too much time has gone by
and he has screwed NAMDRA members and AMC'ers by stopping those of us
that wanted to do it, get it done!
