Doesn't Road America have a Nationwide race now? I remember seeing one a year or two ago, they had a lot of ringers, like Jacques Villeneuve, Nelson Piquet's son, also Danica Patrick for PR.

OK, that's what I suspected, and I can see how dispersed receivers might defeat stealth in theory, by detecting oblique or side-scattered radar waves. I remember reading similar arguments somewhere about the B2 being potentially vulnerable.

He made one comment that I find puzzling, and disturbing, if true: He said that stealth planes are detectable on long-wavelength radars, something I've heard before.

Yes - Both of these reflect cars that sold in volume. How nice it was back when Hondas were small and light and fun to drive.

Threatening to leave because they don't like the rules is a tactic Ferrari has used on a number of occasions going back to the 1960's.

That reminds me of when I was the age of the older kids in that photo and my toddler baby sister got all the attention.

Clinton was actually about a year younger than Obama at the time of their respective inaugurations:

The Boeing 2707 SST sort of fits that description and was designed at roughly the same time. It was going to have a titanium fuselage, like the SR-71, but no flying prototypes were built. It was cancelled in 1970. The speed was rated at Mach 2.7, within 10% of the SR-71.

Porsche 917 Long-Tails

Ford MkII from 1966:

Gulf GT40s, winners in 1968 & 1969

While it's not necessarily representative of the Audi R18 and modern carbon fiber construction, but if you look at the chassis histories of classic endurance racers like the Porsche 917, you will frequently see examples where a car is destroyed and it is sent back the factory for "repair". The serial number plate is…

Not to mention other examples: Mark Donohue, Natasha Richardson

What's remarkable about Jim Glickenhaus is that he actually road-registers some of his classic racing cars, like the Ford Mark IV and Ferrari P4 he owns that both competed in the 1967 LeMans race. I met him once, and he said that it helps establish the car's history when it's road-registered with the local government.…

"9.) Buy Our Car Because Free Car"

Spoiler: The house is terrible at going around curves.

Houses usually appreciate in value over time, boats and cars generally don't. I guess my net worth isn't high enough to get past that consideration.

I was probably confusing its story with the Matra 640 aero, which definitely was never entered in the actual race:

"Is it OK if I call you Joe?"... "Say it ain't so, Joe."

So it was, I stand corrected.
