I don't know if it takes more talent; Danny Ongais seemed to do pretty well going from Top Fuel to an Indycar and IMSA. Art Pollard used to drive both Indy and Top Fuel on a regular basis. It's a different skill set, for sure, but given time and training any top drag racer could do well enough not to embarrass…

Haas won't shut the team down-he's already budgeted for the season, and the team still promotes his Haas Automation company. Now, it wouldn't surprise me if he shut down at the end of this season in favor of focusing on his new F1 team.

But it ought to be the driver's choice to wear one helmet design, not some rule.

Cost is part of it. But it's also logistics. Off-loading chemicals, oil, agricultural products, etc. means risk of spills. Building rail and road connections would trade one form of environmental damage for another. And one hurricane in the Gulf shuts the whole thing down, as opposed to a port further inland which has…

When Chuck Norris sees Alex Zanardi, he slinks off, mumbling to himself.

Is it just me or is Vettel looking a bit Brad Keselowski here? Maybe it's the flat brim and the "Duh" expression?

The Veyron was an incredible bit of engineering. But it's also incredibly complex, and it took this massive beast to overtake the nimble, simple, exquisitely engineered McLaren F1.

One of the few F1s to be regularly driven will end up sold to a collector who will keep it off the road. Because $12m cars don't get driven-they get dusted and coveted.

Since the Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans has been renovated and is no longer narrow, high and scary, I'll nominate the other Huey P. Long Bridge. This one is in Baton Rouge, on US 190, is referred to as the "Old Bridge" by locals. It's a cantilever truss bridge, with a rail line running in the middle and two lanes…

And let's not forget that they want to build an elevated toll road next to that river, along the levee. On unstable soil.

I was going to nominate this one. It's on I-10, which is a decrepit piece of road to begin with. So rough you don't even think about speeding. Combine that with a bridge that has an incredibly high pitch and it'll scare the heck out of you quickly.

The plane is an outdoor exhibit, so there's corrosion to consider. Not to mention finding parts, manufacturing whatever parts can't be found, and the people who can do the kind of work that restoring it would take. Oh, and the money to do the job, which I imagine would be substantial.

So where is TWR WSC-95 now?

And nobody went for the obvious?

It's a smart move. A ready-made base, with equipment, tooling, and vehicles.

It's who you know, dude.

Rob Walker was an heir to the Johnny Walker fortune, grew up in privilege, and was a massive petrolhead. He drove to LeMans one year, raced there, and drove the same car home. He's the last privateer to win a Grand Prix. He also was one of the best reporters on Formula 1 in its heyday, and on his passport he claimed…

This didn't happen outside Dallas. It happened on McKinnon Street, near Downtown. That area has a long straight section that splits onto the Dallas North Tollway and Harry Hines Boulevard.

A.J. Foyt, the Labonte brothers, Johnny Rutherford, and the ghost of Carrol Shelby would like to have a word with you...

The simple truth is, I hate the new system. Let them race 36 races, and whoever has the most points at the end wins the Cup. But that's not going to guarantee drama, so we get a manufactured system that stresses out everyone involved, causes drivers to do stupid, dangerous things on and off track, and puts too much…
