Obligatory.

Can’t personally recall seeing one in an ULTRA4, but I know some desert cars & trucks have built-in jacking systems, but they’re used for performing tire changes.

And oh my God I just now noticed the “y” in “IndyCar” makes up the dot over the “i” in “Series”. See Verizon, now...little detail-sy shit like that is properly clever

I saw Torch’s name & continued scrolling down expecting some insanely over-the-top and obnoxiously garish (but very well drawn) gag logo for some laughs, but...no, actually that is infinitely better in every single way.

I don’t think bypass shocks were a Thing back then, (Ivan Stewart’s MTEG stadium truck in the ‘90s is the earliest real attempt at a bypass shock that I know of, but I could easily be wrong) so the options for keeping the chassis off the ground were...”simplistic”

Yeah that’s what I say whenever tech busts me too. “HAAA I’m just kidding ya, heh heh, making sure you guys are paying attention in here!”

F’n Robby Gordon, The Prodigy, and Jonah Street in the same camp at bivouac...

We have a 1997 Dodge Ram 4x4 Lariat for a parts runner at work that also gets used as a snowplow for our parking lot during Wisconsin winter. It just recently turned over 100K miles, but looking at it you’d swear it had over a million. The interior door cards are held in with wood screws, the driver’s side door skin…

Anything and everything dealing with Open Competition short track time trials or the infamous “Wedge Car” era of 1980’s dirt track racing. The Lexan Gods...

Oh you have NO idea my friend...

Do a search for Kalamazoo Speedway’s “Call of the Wild” and/or Atomic Speedway’s “Run What Ya Brung”. Probably the 2 most well-known open shows in the country, on pavement and dirt respectively. Recently Mike Shewchuk solidified the Zoo’s title as “world’s fastest 3/8 mile” when his Outlaw LM-based sideboarder broke…

I know it’s hard to believe by the look of it, but that’s a pavement car!

Super Late Models are about as high-tier as you can go in short track racing before they stop looking like cars. Next step up from this is the Outlaw Late Models that’re prevalent around parts of the upper midwest.

As someone who does CAD design & engineering for a motorcycle accessories manufacturer, I’ll be the first one to say that Harleys are turds when it comes to performance.

Mmmmmm the colored soap...forget “New Car”, somebody get me a Little Tree that smells like that stuff!

What’re they like, price-wise? I’ve been drooling over a pair of WeatherTech mats for my ‘98 S10 single cab (manual trans, if it matters) but I think they wanted something like $100-120 for them (not that I’ve done a TON of shopping around for them).

As the loving Wisconsin owner of a ‘98 2WD S10 (with the little 2.2L, and to be fair it’s a donkey of a motor...won’t get you there quickly or with any kind of style, but it will get you there) and an offroad/prerunner fan, the repaint wouldn’t worry me but as others have said, I would absolutely want a good look…

Dust to Glory isn’t a film about racing, it’s a film about everything that mankind experiences and is motivated by that just so happens to involve a lot of racing.
