    Old School Stock Cars

    ... isn't there a picture 'somewhere' of Johnson's car, rolling down the beach, with Johnson himself, standing there, watching it roll-away, uninjured?

    Old Indy Cars

    at one time, our family-owned shop did some work for Armstrong Mould... after we were often warned to 'expect delays in getting paid', we didn't have many dealings with them

    Old School Stock Cars

    I think my dad used to go to Langhorne from SW Taxylvania in the early & mid 1950s... from what I have heard, because the track was truly 'round', every seat in the house had the same view: no cookie-cutter tracks in those days, eh?

    NASCAR, not Johnson, driving fans away

    I was thinking more-along the lines of 'waiting for her to smile'... 'waiting for her to win a race were her opponents don't run out of fuel'... 'waiting for her to grow beasticles'... 'waiting for her to not-blame others when she is involved in a crash'... :thumb

    Old Indy Cars

    although I can remember listening to the Indy 500 a few years before this, I always thought this car epitomized American open-wheel racing: my grandfather worked for Sun Oil Company, and when Donohue won Indy, it felt like 'we' were a part of it Classy paint with contrasting pinstriping...

    Not Boring: NASCAR's brass calls Keselowski in for a chat

    as Tony Stewart said (para-phrasing, because I forget the exact quote), "..... I'm the fungus that can't be killed in NASCAR's sterilized world....."

    Won four the books

    TOTALLY-different era, but Johnson's records shouldn't be dismissed simply because of that: I believe it is quite possible that Johnson will become #2 on the All-Time Win list, surpassing David Pearson's 107 like-it-or-not, we ARE seeing history being made

    NASCAR defends bump-draft rule

    ..... and as the 2nd step, get half of their upper-management team jobs at Wal*Mart, pushing carts thru the parking-lot from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM: they might be capable of handling that type activity

    NSCS 5 to Go: Newman takes pole as Johnson stumbles

    I started watching the Winston Cup Series in the very early 1980s, when I could see races on cable TV, and the older I get, the more I realize that I was a bigger fan of The Man than I was of NASCAR while today's racers definitely have skill & talent, it doesn't have the same flavor that it...

    Don't tug on Superman's cape

    "I had the opportunity to see up close, and I'm telling you, I see why he's so successful..... He works harder at it than anybody else, I think, on the circuit." ~ Mark Martin ~ ;) ..... ANYBODY-but Yeffey Jordain (I'd prefer Martin), and I'll be happy!!!!! :beer

    Drivers, fans give four-wide the big thumbs-up

    I don't know if you are being factitious or not, but 4-wide drag-racing was done at several tracks back in the '60s & '70s that were wide-enough to permit it this picture, from Detroit Dragway in 1968, shows a Funny Car, with the A-board to the driver's immediate Left, with a Christmas tree...

    Engine rebuild project

    I had a friend with a 450+ HP BBC in a 12-second '70 Chevelle, that roamed the streets of SW Taxylvania, with an electric water-pump, a BIG electric fan, & a 4-core radiator that rarely ran over 180*f: we build a shroud (out of my gage & template shop, per his drawings) that covered the entire...
