Looks like t he motorhome for GhostBusters!

After reading this, along with your other recent pieces (including the one on the Miami GP), it seems to me that F1 could learn a thing or two from NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA as well as ISC, SMI and other US based race promoters. I hope this is not a case of the licensing fees being so exorbitantly high that race promoters

Seating for 2+? Check! 2 motors with jet drives? Check! Roof, Roll Bar, and wind sheild? Check! $160,000 left over for a Polaris RZR, tow vehicle and enough beer for a long weekend with all your friends? Check, Check and Check!  

This list is definitely missing the DB4GT Zagato and DB5 Drophead and Shooting Brake!  

Salary caps, especially in the US, have been an effective part of leveling the field across the leagues that use them.  That and “The Draft”.   Most players make a significant amount of their money through direct sponsorships and off the field/pitch/court activities.   I like the idea, as long as the salary cap is

Now playing

I’m just a little late to the show, BUT.... I am absolutely shocked nobody brought up Swamp Buggy Racing! I grew up watching this late at night on ESPN in upstate NY almost 45 years ago when ESPN was looking for content! Anybody remember?

Pruett’s archive for video, photography, writings and his podcast is as diverse as it is extensive! All of it is excellent. He has become one of Motorsport’s most knowledgeable historians, and his understanding of the engineering is second to none. You should catch up with him one day and let us all know!  That

The government using taxation to punish a private entity for it’s political stance IS IN THE DEFINITION of Fascism. Benito Mussolini would be so proud!

This is the SECOND time this year someone has done this on THIS bridge in Daytona Beach! There must be something in the water. Or the beer…

When I saw that the picture was from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Department, I KNEW it wouldn’t be good! But, there is a very large Russian and Ukrainian community in Palm Coast, the county’s largest town. Also a lot of tightly wound retirees…. 

As a local, I’ve watched the Streamline transform from a “youth hostel” and “den of iniquity” to something respectable. The rooftop bar is one of Daytona’s hidden attractions, with a incredible 360 degree view of the ocean and city. We stayed one night, almost a year after it opened, for a 80’s New Wave dance party

My 2019 330i has the 4 cylinder turbo, makes 255 HP and when people scoff at the & vs the 6, I remind them that A) BMW won an F1 world championship with the 4, not the 6 and B) the original M3 was a turbo 4, not a inline 6. A little Revisionist history out there…

I’m already thinking of the horror movie that will result….

9,500 RPM’s! DAMN! No wonder it sounds so delicious!!!

It seems like these large projects are jinxed. I remember learning, back in the 1980's, that the mirror for the Hubbel telescope was dropped while being packed for shipping to NASA, due to an pre-planned power outage that someone had forgotten about.

I’m just a little surprised that Colton Herta can’t drive in a practice session and a driver like Little Nikita Mazepin gets to actually race…. I shouldn’t be, but I am…

Politicians using the government to punish business for perceived wrongs. That is a truly fascist thing to do....

The Ferrari “insert model here” ...

My favorite was the Ford 3.5L Twin-turbo V6 in the Lincoln MKT. It made that ungainly pig of a vehicle GO!!! I was surprised me seeing it in the F150 but not the Mustang. Then I saw Mike Shank, then Chip Ganassi, race it in the Daytona Prototype prior to it’s release in the Ford GT.  It is a true jewel of a motor. 

You seriously under state the impact of the material supply crisis the world is dealing with right now. I would defiantly say that this IS the reason for the delay. Nintendo, as well as other tech companies, have a history of embarrassment related to missed and and faltering rollouts for lesser reasons. Why roll
