The Novi, I know it didn’t win but still pretty advanced for its time being a DOHC supercharged V8 that first appeared in the 1940’s

I honestly don’t think it was anything you did, if you watch any of the videos he posts on the IMS media pages he’s as much of a race fan as anyone else

Piech’s intimidating management style and fear from subordinates more than likely led to dieselgate. So there’s that. Also the family infighting for control of Porsche in the early ‘00s.

Houston area resident here, a third victim has passed away, and the driver was given a ridiculously low bond. This was one of these late night takeover meets that happened to be in the parking lot of a K1 Speed which hopefully does not give them a bad name. To top it off his FB page is still public with numerous…

Vince Alfano, the sales manager at the Ford dealer they went to was a family friend of ours for a long long time.  In fact I leased my first new car, a ‘98 Mercury Mountaineer from him.  He worked in the car business here for over 40 years.

Jochen Rindt was killed by a broken neck from his belts. Not to be too graphic but Cevert and his car were both torn apart by the Armco, Jody Scheckter says as much in the documentary 1. There are photos of the aftermath of that accident floating around on the web but they are too disturbing to look at. The accident…

Naysayers need to quit saying this should have been re-started. Ignorance is bliss when you don’t know or don’t remember Rick Mears obliterated the field in 1988 and finished under yellow, or Emerson Fittipaldi battled Al Unser Jr and won under yellow. It’s the Indianapolis 500, not the Indianapolis last three laps.

Back when I was a frat boy trying to be a beer connoisseur, I bought some Bitburger to try when they were sponsoring Benetton and Schumacher. It was not good.

Wow you’re killing it on cranking out some quality work this weekend, keep it up! For those of us that grew up in the 80's, the gold standard for commentary was the CBS crews of Ken Squier, Ned Jarrett, David Hobbs and Chris Economaki; ESPN crew of Bob Jenkins, Larry Nuber, Benny Parsons, Ned Jarrett, Dr Jerry Punch;…

A Coyote-powered modern Pantera

NASCAR responded several hrs ago. Do your homework

These can be decent cars if they have been maintained properly; the cachet of having a “cheap” Porsche means these have more than likely been in the hands of people not willing to fork over the $$$ for proper upkeep and maintenance. My grandparents had a neighbor in the early eighties with a ‘79 Sebring Edition 924,…

I think part of the problem is that despite the increases in safety of both the cars and the tracks, the younger drivers are callous to the true danger of going beyond the limit combined with the green-white-checker mentality that “we have to have an exciting finish”. For the extra hour they spent to get that race…

I have my grandfather’s old Nikon FE with a 50mm f/1.4 which is the only thing remotely fast enough to shoot action, but my workhorse is a Nikon D500 with a 16-80mm f/2.8-4.0 and a 70-200mm f/4. Here are some of my panning shots from the COTA Indycar Testing Wednesday, most of these were 1/160-1/250

Reagan never flew on these VC-25s as President and they are not 40 years old, they did not go into service until 1989

Adam Carolla has done a doc on him called “Uppity” that is supposed to be released in January.

“The Last American Hero” with Jeff Bridges from the early 70s is about Junior Johnson in the moonshine era and winning in NASCAR based on a Time Wolfe story.

Four words.

☝️ This. Or all encompassing that IMSA era w John Paul, Randy Lanier etc. Or the Don Aronow murder and Apache/offshore powerboat racing scene in the 80s

Props for someone else remembering him besides me
