Yeah, but it kind of loses its zing, seen from the rear-view mirror...

Probably one of the most poorly-held secrets coming out of the auto industry this week. We’ve known or suspected the power bump for months.

Next new flash — there’s going to be a mid-engined Corvette! OMFG!

Having worked races both as a corner worker and race official in the flag stand, I know there’s a TON of communication going on, particularly towards the end of a race. I can see how the flag stand could be off by a lap, but we always were very explicit in our communicatiosn with race control, which always occured on…

So, to me, based on the CCTV footage, it looks like the Renault turned in front of the oncoming ‘Vette.

I nearly bought one, but the Fiat engine (not going to happen,) and the salesman’s insistance that the car was made in Italy (it’s made in Hiroshima, Japan on the same line as the MX-5,) put me off.

Awesome!

Great story, but one question. How the Hell did a 2WD Datsun wagon make it out there?!?

Especially when the deck is stacked against them.

Early 70's Chevelle?

It absolutely doesn’t matter what you buy, but nothing you could possibly get — not even an Edsel — could come close to matching the ugliness that is the Aztek.

Mystery? Seriously? How hard is it to pull the VIN and track down the owner?

Maybe the Nevada Highway Patrol needs to hire an investigator to figure this out, since obviously they don’t have any of their own.

I believe that was called “Can-Am” and Porsche/Penskie spent so much, no one else could compete and theseries died.

The volume of oil lost to pipelines is nothing compared to coal. UP hauls three 5-mile-long coal trains to a powerplant in the Dakotas three times per week.

That’s for one power plant.

Street tracks suck (Yes, even you, Monaco.)

You don’t screw with railroad police. Its not like in the movies. These are serious men.

“Manufacturing?” Nope. UP has idled those locos because they used to haul a TON of coal, and now that coal is on the downswing, UP doesn’t haul as much of it. The lost coal business means their business was down something like 20% two years ago.

(UP is a major customer for a rail industry company I worked for.)

Not acceptable, Fiat engine.

Other race venues beckon, I think.

Swing! And a miss...

Aw shoot. The Judge was just working with unwed mothers — trying to help them get their start.
