Art has over 30 years experience in public accounting as a CPA and Certified Valuation Analyst, having spent four of those years at the helm of Arthur Dana & Company before forming Lazard Dana LLP in 2002. Art demonstrates great finesse in addressing complex business, financial and accounting issues. Art brings to Lazard Dana extensive experience in litigation support services providing accounting, tax and business analysis to attorneys attempting to glean the true facts from a maze of data. He combines his valuation credentials with his considerable experience providing expert witness testimony in accounting and tax matters. When a closely held business needs to be valued, Art brings his Certified Valuation Analyst credential to bear on the complex issue of providing a credible estimate of value of a company where there is no established market for its equity. This expertise is used to value family owned businesses for estate tax purposes, purchase price allocations for financial reporting and income tax purposes, buy-sell agreements and marital dissolutions. Art's tax training and skill allow him to provide advice on a variety of complex tax planning issues including merger and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, and general tax planning. Art approaches tax planning as part of meeting business objectives. Obtaining the most after-tax profit for the owner is Art's objective when he advises his clients. Prior to forming Arthur Dana & Company, Art was Director of Corporate Development & Taxation for Savannah Foods & Industries. He also spent fourteen years as a Tax Partner and Senior Manager at the international accounting firm of Price Waterhouse in Midland, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia before settling in Savannah. Art began his career as an agent with the Internal Revenue Service in Alabama. Whenever he can find the time, Art will be traveling to distant lands, usually to support a charitable cause or spending time with his wife, Helen and three children Matthew, Christopher and Cynthia or piloting his Beechcraft Baron for business and pleasure trips.

Jack Brooks, who is a National Sales Manager for Dana Corporation, is a relatively newcomer to Ontario's thriving NHRA and IHRA legal Stock eliminator scene. In 1999, Brooks acquired a meticulously restored 1967 Chevy Camaro in race ready form from fellow Canadian drag racer Mike Savelle. The car was campaigned for two seasons in F/SA class trim using a 275 HP 327 CID engine that was built at Siefker Automotive (Essex, ON). Brooks employs a 2-speed automatic transmission built by Bill Little (Belmont Automotive) which delivers power to a 12-bolt Chevy rear end assembly and ultimately Goodyear rear slicks. For carburetion, Brooks uses a 4-barrel Rochester mounted on a cast iron Chevrolet intake manifold. The camshaft and pistons are Lunati and the exhaust headers are Hooker. Brooks Racing debuted a new power train in 2001 with the installation of a Siefker Automotive-built 350 CID motor. That engine, which features Vortec heads and an aluminium intake manifold is rated at 330 HP will make the car a legal F/CM (crate motor). A performance improvement into the lower 11 seconds zone and near 118 mph is expected. Brooks Racing will focus on the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock series as well as regional IHRA competition. Despite being new to the circuit, Brooks has so far managed impressive finishes in the Dana/Smith Performance Specialities-sponsored Stock/Super Stock series. He has two event runner-up finishes to his credit, and placed 7th and 11th in final points in 1999 and 2000 respectively. At the August race in Norwalk Brooks was runner up in F/SA class elimination In addition to his on track activities, Jack Brooks is recognized for his staunch and influential behind the scenes support of Canada's drag racing scene. Team primary sponsorship comes from Dana Corporation, which is the parent company to Wix Filters and Victor-Reinz Gaskets brands. Valuable associate backing is provided by Parkdale Automotive (Stratford), and Siefker Automotive and Performance (Essex --- call: 519-776-6761). Product sponsors include Quaker State, Gates belts and hoses, East-Penn batteries, Arvin exhaust, and Raybestos.
