Has the University of Arkansas moved to Tuscaloosa?
Has the University of Arkansas moved to Tuscaloosa?
Also not uncommon in rural parts of Alabama. I ate two of these earlier this week. It is something my Grandmother introduced me to as a child. Secret ingredient, dash of salt!
How long will it take before the app is used to send road rage messages?
My personal worst would be a (FC/2nd Gen) RX-7. It was very uncomfortable for both of us. We were both facing the rear of the car straddling the center console with both of us having a knee in the driver and passenger seat.
The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Leeds, near Birmingham, AL. They have a mix of cars and motorcycles. Bonus points for having a world class racing facility right behind the museum.
I am not sure I would call that the result of a "rough road". I think it is more descriptive to say the car "hit an obstruction".
I agree, you can buy remote camera baby monitors that give a better picture than this. But on the other hand I was once told by a head manager of a large chain grocery store that their cameras were high enough quality that they could read the cereal number off of the cash being put into their registers. He also said…
It has been pointed out to me that I was probably referring to the wrong series (Solo I vs Solo II). It had been 10 years so I got them confused. Just to be clear I was NOT referring to autocrossing in a parking lot!
Yes, my apologizes. I had the numbers confused (I vs II). It was Solo I that had the medical requirement.
You are probably correct for the national level and for your region. I am speaking from my own experience. In 2001 I was required by the Alabama Region SCCA to get a physical from my doctor to receive the competition license to compete in the Solo II events. If I remember correctly they even provided a questionnaire…
I think they should be required. When I was active in the SCCA (early 2000's) they required a physical from a Dr. to receive a competition license. I had to get one just to compete in the Solo II series (not sure what they call those these days, time trials?). It was an annoyance and an extra expense at the time but…
I remember an uncle's late-80's Porsche 911 having a hexagonal shaped key. I cannot find a photo of one anywhere. Is my memory distorted or has there just not been a run of vintage ignition key photos on Instagram?
This track fills the void in design that most modern tracks do not have. It is great to see the care taken to make sure a head on collision is possible at not one, but two points on the track. This is the kind of track that separates the men from boys.
My first real job a was scorekeeper for an adult basketball league at a YMCA. I was 14 at the time. The amount of abuse these wannabe players inflicted on the officials and scorekeepers over the chance at winning a $10 team trophy was staggering. The highlight of my score keeping career was being threatened with…
My first car was a '77 Mustang II, V6, auto, POS. I got it when I was 15. With the help of my Grandfather I had it painted running by the time I got my license. It was terribly ugly and had the speed of a 60hp Beetle (my 2nd car). But I loved the car until it was due for a 2nd transmission rebuild within a year. I…
Yes, you just supported my "Sure it happens in other sports" comment.
This is exactly why I do not watch soccer/football. I have given it many chances. I have tried to get into it, but the first sign of a player using a faked injury as a strategy of play I give up on the game and watch something else. It happens too often for my taste. Sure it happens in other sports, but rarely... I…
I happen to own a '63 Ford Fairlane 500 that has one of the smallest V8s Ford ever made. It has the 221 ci. (3.6L) Windsor V8. It is essentially a 289 with smaller diameter pistons. Mine has an estimated 200+k miles on it and was running (not drivable; transmission issues) when parked 11 years ago. At some point in…
Are there not rules against interfering with your competition in these races? He clearly touched his opponent for the purpose of an advantage. Brief it was, but in principal no different than tripping him at the starting line.
Labor strife has dragged down earnings at Hyundai and its Kia affiliate after unions elected hard-line leaders. Earlier this year, Hyundai workers refused to work overtime for three weeks. That resulted in lost output of 83,000 vehicles worth 1.7 trillion won ($1.5 billion), according to the company. In 2012, the…
