The first rule of business is to stay in business. NASCAR is a family business, and as one who works for a family business, the common sense rules we learn in school simply do not apply. They do things that may be counter intuitive, doing things many boards of directors would say “HELL NO!” Then they succeed. Living…

OK. I give up. Which car is that? Lotus??? I think you have a new game here!
Is Jalopnik going to be at that other great party that week? You know, the one known as the Sebring 12 Race? There will be all kinds of celebrities there: Elvis, the Blues Brothers and a bunch of guys dressed as cows (udder-ly amusing)!
I live here in Volusia County. I continue to be amazed in how Trump continues to prove that you don’t need values, or a backbone for that matter, to make waves. I have lost all respect I had for Brian France. The fact their family is considered a necessary evil here in Daytona is another story all together....
Imagine showing up for work on your first day after training, and getting killed. No, you can’t. Neither can I. There are some seriously cynical and heartless bastards here!
I. WANT. ONE.
I read that in yesterday’s paper (I’m a Daytona Local) and I know there is a sense of relief among those in the DIS security department. The DIS Security Officers I know would tell stories of the ghost who would pilfer small items and disappear into the ether, Right Under Their Noses.... The way they told it, it was a…
I am on my 2nd MKT as a company lease. There are a lot of things I love/like about it. The 3.5 twin turbo V6 is a gem of a motor! The car, if I can call it that, is quicker than it looks. I love that it is the ultimate Q-car as I can drive past the local Gendarmerie with little fear. It comfortably carries 7 of us…
The Olympics, FIFA and ATP/WTA allow the venues to profit from venue sponsorship’s and often a share of TV revenue. F1 is unique in sports as it does not allow any venue sponsorship other than that which F1 gets paid. The margins are therefor much larger elsewhere. F1 venues can only profit from ticket and food sales,…
Looking at the records of Alexander Rossi and Rio Haryanto, there is no comparison. In Formula BMW, Rossi won the US and World Championship, Haryanto only won the Pacific Championship. Rossi’s best championship finishes include a 4th in GP3, a 3rd in Formula Renault 3.5 and a 2nd in GP2. Haryanto’s best finish is a 4th…
Those who choose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Had this happened even 5 years ago, the 10 sailors would be sent to Tehran, charged with espionage and war crimes and put through the country’s famous kangaroo courts. With a hardline cleric as judge, they would be sentenced to death. The US would be forced…
I’va always been a big Marino fan and Feel he’s earned the kick-ass factory ride! Same for Pla,who is a great racer! I, for one, am looking forward to seeing Ford rise to the occasion! However, it did take Edsel 2 or 3 tries (or more, read “Go Like Hell”) at LeMans to pull off their victory. I don’t expect success…
I have one on my Lincoln. It allows me to speed past the local gendarmerie as if I’m not even there!
Using that logic, what Kyle did was the equivalent of the Cowboys, as a team, just not starting their season until week 6. Then, no, they wouldn’t be in the Superbowl as they would already be 6 in the loss column.
I have to agree! The early 85-88 years looked great! This thing is an abomination.....
Yes, Yes, YES! I had this same picture over my bed as a child! My son took it and now has it over HIS bed!
US Airways have a 50lb limit. We had 4 bags totaling 150lbs. One bag was 52# and they were going to charge me the $100 overweight baggage fine, I mean fee. They wouldn’t budge on the fact that the 4 bags averaged 37.5lbs, they wanted their $100. The agent actually threatened to call security when I started to open the…
I don’t know which of his cheats I like better: The super long gas line which allowed his car to drive back from inspection WITHOUT its fuel tank, of the 9/10ths sized Camaro of which he built 2 of, one for inspection and a “normal” sized one that just happened to be out in the parking lot.
Next, please do a coffee maker that I can start from bed.....
When I was a young lad of 11 in the early 1980’s, my uncle took me on an adventure. He was flying to DC to look at a new car, and he had asked me to join him. His friend had a private plane, a twin engine Beechcraft prop, and he happened to be going in that direction. I said yes, and off we went.
