Chrysler and General Motors both beat Ford in the minivan race. Pearson takes independent road By Gary Kale UPI auto racing writer LONG POND; Fa. - The second NASCAR team switch in three days was announced last week with David Pearson leaving Hoss Ellington's setup to campaign as an in­ dependent driver. On July 17, Bobby Allison left Gardner Racing because he couldn't agree on car setups with crew chief Gary Nelson. Pearson, the "Silver Fox" who had a brilliant NASCAR Grand National racing career during the 1970's, made his deci­ sion to jump at the spur of the moment. He notified Ellington late July 18 he was leaving. "I've heard so much talk about the Ford Thunderbird this season that I just wanted to try one," said Pearson. "Bill Elliott has been so suc­ cessful in a Ford and I've had so much trou­ ble in a Chevy that I. j u s t w a n t e d a change." The 50-year-old Pearson, winner of 105 Grand National races in a career dating back to 1960, said he tested a T h u n d e r b i r d a t Talladega, Ala., July 18 and it easily ran 200 mph without going all out. He said the Fords hold the ground, while the Chevy is loose go­ ing into the corners. Pearson's switch marks a return to the manufacturer from which he achieved stardom. Of his career victory total, 73 came in Fords. He drove the famed Wood Brothers Mercury from April, 1972 through the Tran- South 500 at Darl­ ington, S.C. in April, 1979. Pearson won con­ secutive Grand Na­ tional titles in 1968-69 with the Holman- Moody Ford Factory team. "We have driven General Motor pro­ ducts since 1980 and won only one race," Pearson explained his desire to switch cars. "We now can compare the two cars and make a decision on a choice for next year. "We just hope it's the right decision. On­ ly time will tell. I know one thing, the last three years have been very frustrating for me. I have never ex­ perienced anything like that stretch of los­ ing. We want to start winning again." P e a r s o n ' s l a s t triumph was in the 1980 TranSouth five years ago. His best finishes since then were a pair of thirds at C h a r l o t t e a n d Daytona. Ellington was still stunned by Pearson's nc in the Pocono press room about an hour before first day quali­ fying was to begin. T h e y h a d b e e n together eight years. "I haven't made up my mind who his replacement will be. I have three or four drivers in mind," Ell­ ington said. Pearson, who runs a limited schedule, will drive only four more races this year -- at Talladega, Michigan, D a r l i n g t o n a n d Charlotte. Summer fun in the sun brings with it the dangers of overexpo­ sure to the sun includ­ ing wrinkling, prema­ ture aging and skin cancer. These dangers can be minimized by us­ ing sunscreens. "Most of us want a tan, or at least a healthy glow- even if you don't, you certainly can't stay indoors all summer," said Pauline Macri, a pharmacist for a nationwide drug chain. "To safely enjoy the sun, it's important to use a sunscreen suit­ ed to your skin tone, geographic location, job and the medications you're taking." There are many dif­ ferent types of sun­ screens. Most contain light-absorbing chemi­ cal agents in a cream, lotion or gel. The most widely used active in­ gredients is paramino- benzoic acid (paba) and its derivatives. The sun protection factor (or SPF) is used to rank a sunscreen's protective ability. The SPF numbers range from 2 (minimal protec­ tion) to 15 (super pro­ tection). People whose skins reddens slightly after 15 minutes in the sun without protection, would take 150 minutes to redden with a sun­ screen of SPF10. Skin type I always burns easily and never tans so people with this type should choose a product with a SPF range of 10 to 15. Skin type II usually burns easily and tans mini­ mally so these people should use a SPF be­ tween 6 to 12. Skin type III burns moderately and tans gradually so a SPF of 4, 5, or 6 should be used. Skin type IV rarely burns and readi­ ly tans so a range of only 2 to 4 is needed. "The skin can cause long-term harm to all skin types," Macri con­ tinued. "Even if you're one of those lucky peo­ ple who tan easily and rarely burn, you need a sunscreen. Sunscreens absorb harmful ultravi- r ^ olet rays which contrib- swimming or sweating ute to wrinkling and can paba sunscreens in eth- promote skin cancer." anol are very effective, "By simply avoiding even under the stress of the peak hours of sun- prolonged exercise, s h i n e i n t e n s i t y , f r o m 1 0 s w e a t i n g a n d a.m. to 3 p.m., you can swimming. reduce your exposure to sunburn causing rays, but you can't avoid ul­ traviolet 'A' rays, which are present all day," he added. "Sun­ screens will protect you from overexposure to both." Experts say that many skin cancers seem to be linked to ex­ posure over the years. One type of cancer, ma­ lignant melanoma, seems related to a his­ tory of blistering sun­ burns in childhood or young adulthood. Peo­ ple at risk for malig­ nant melanoma-which can kill- include those with pale skin, light hair and eyes, ususual moles, moles present at birth, or a family histo­ ry of this cancer. For the best protec­ tion from the sun, sun­ screens should be ap­ plied at least 30 minutes before exposure to the sun, and reapplied ev­ ery hour or two after that, especially after 100% GUARANTEED IN WRITING ON THESE SELECT USED CARS IMOCMHacEMorato P S P B A C Dull Poor Sells P Windows P locks AM FM CB Tip* Stereo Tilt Crime R Del Leathef lot Fact Wire Wheels 43 000 Cert Miles 1990 Datum 210 5 Speed AM'FM Tape fi Detroit 1990 Dodf* Omni One 0«ner'Automatic « Fiont Wheel Dn»e leai Delrost 1979 Pontlac FlraMrd Esprit One Owner1 P S P B AC AM FM Stereo P Windows.
