They're still around, but definitely not as much as they used to be. I think for the most part the fact that there are no new minitrucks to replace the old ones hurts. Almost all the aftermarket support for the minitrucks are gone, leaving most to hack up the trucks on their own with custom parts. All you see…

here's the NASCAR equivalent to the MX-5 wreck.

I'm sure Berrnie will be all for the two series running together.

making them street legal just adds more cost for the racers. taxes, tag, insurance, etc. Plus you would have to keep the stock seatbelts in the car.

Are they really that different from each other?

1. they both are tube frame cars.

It's good to see Mario and his competitors have graduated from Karts and moved to late models. Rainbow Road will never be the same.

I've said for years now that the NHRA needs to make a big change to it's cars. Just like when NASCAR built the COT's. Racing is boring when everyone drives the same cars and none of them look like a real car.

Take Pro-Stock for example:
mid-80's Camaro. the nose might be a little stretched out, but looks like a…

From what i've read about the truck, they still used the solid beam front axle but they cut them and rewelded them to give the front end some camber. The rear usually was just lowering leafs or blocks. The racetrucks were all 4 cylinders and stock for the most part.

this one's an internet classic:

People keep talking about all the stuff they want with this truck. Personally, I'd like to see it be a truck and just a truck. No fancy bluetooth wi-fi sync appstore twitter feed crap (except on like a top of the line model). cloth seats, nice radio/cd player with a usb/aux port, vinyl floor, etc. I'd rather have…

If your stuck like me driving a weak 4 cyl s-10, I have a few hacks that can make your like a little better.

Poly bushing work great in some applications, but most race suspension experts will tell you not to use them for anything that has to rotate. Unlike rubber bushings, poly bushings have a tendency to bind causing the suspension not to travel like it's designed to. Most recommend using a type of Nylon or Delrin…

I've driven my S-10 in several autocrosses but at one event I had to retire it after one run (at Roebling Road Raceway of all places) due to a transmission leak. And by leak I mean total oildown of half the autocross circuit.

wait....this didn't happen in Florida?

Oh noes, it's spreading northward!

Here's how they brought out the car for the unveiling.

The boxes clearly say "chuck at plane" on them and not "fragile".

So what you're saying is that Jimmie Johnson needs to change his driver's name to "Skeet Johnson"? Sounds like a plan to me.

I like how the description of Dale Jr doesn't mention the fact that he's won 19 races, including the 2004 Daytona 500. It would seem to me that would be a bigger selling point for a kids seat than the fact that he owns 2 bars.
