Naw, we grew up a little. If ya haven’t been in a peleton with a hunnert other guys, you’ll never understand. So close to each other, in competition, all madly spinning the cranks. As a Domestic, my job was pretty much to slow the pack or burn it out and keep my leader in a position to win. I had more DNFs than…

No civilization on Earth has risen above physical confrontation, yet.

ya oughta seen what we did as Juniors racing bicycles back in the ‘70s. Reach over and shift a guys gears going uphill (his downtube shifter was only a foot away), drop a frame pump into someones wheel (they weren’t mounted very well anyway) or backhand a back wheel as we dropped off a pull. In the drops on cobbles,…

Yea, Jalop, give this guy a try. He’s said more with 3 bullets than a lot of articles you folks write. All interesting points that would be interesting to read expanded. Would be good experience for him in any case.

Back in high school, friend of mine had a beat to crap Camaro. Bread racks for floor boards and no trunk floor. But it went through tires quickly. We ended up bolting a stacked pair to the trunklid that was just pinned down like a hood. Bolted a milk crate somewhere back there to hold the jack and tools. This car took…

Turn 4 at the old Sears Point track... I had to jump out of the bottle stop twice in 2 years. 20+feet up a near cliff (steps cut into the bank to get to the station) and before the apex. Once during a NASCAR practice and 2nd time for a GT3 510 during a race. We learned early on as SCCA volunteers, “Cars can go…

No they weren’t. Why should I have to ‘go through the son to get to the father’? The Founders were mostly Deists, not necessarily Christians. Moral values, like in the 10 commandments, Golden Rule, etc. are the guidelines. The Head Honcho is quite approachable; no need to go through a subordinate.

“The more angry little peanuts hopping through the forests, the better. “ is such a perfect picture, nay movie, of these modern little cars. Still chuckling at this. You’re the best. Thank you.

Must be 8 years ago now that I saw this. Tall, skinny, old Guy arrived at the boat yard and backed his old beat Toyota up to the back of a nice 50-footer with a wooden transom. Pulled a couple ladders and 2by6s off the roof. Popped the trunk and grabbed a couple cans and sticks. Climbed up onto his unstable stage and…

Somewhere, just outta high schrool, I had a baby blue ‘56 Chevy. 265 bored to 337 and wide tires, 3-on-the-tree. Great car for running around the North Carolina mountains. One snowy night I came up to a T-intersection too fast and just ran off into a fallow corn field. Actually flew off into that field... Long walk…

Shoved playwood up 2 floors on a jobsite. Kink in my neck. Shoved some more plywood. After 3 weeks could not move my right arm. 2 fractured vertabrea and a ruptured disk. Surgery to fix. 10 years later more surgury as another disk disintegrated. 20 years on and I have a plate in my neck fusing 3 vertebrea. 30 years on…

What a driver. Back in the ‘90s, Trans Am at Sears Point. 1st appearance of the Audi’s. I was working at the old Turn 4, outside. Could see the whole track. Rain came near the end of practice and the track cleared. A few minutes later 1 car came out of the pits. Started slowish and was spraying 4 rooster tails by the…

I came of age at this track. Teen years; class of '76, if'n I'd graduated high school. Drove down from Boone toward Wilkseboro just 5 years ago but never made it into town. So much on the road town had changed that I just turned around. In my day there's was only Hardee's and Pizza Hut. No McD, or anything else.…

Kid ain't dazed: he's showing off. Good on the Ma to take this id10t out. Pa was a bit more passive in the beginning. I see Ma immediately go hug the kid when it's all over though. Wasn't a big enough punt in the van to cause much hurt to the kid unless he wasn't buckled up...

What's with this vid?!? This is complete carp. Scenes cut so fast that I can't focus on what's happening afore the next comes on. What is the relevance of some dude w/ earphones on frowning. They spent at least a second on him; half that on the angt in some old pilots face before or after slicing a silky tube...…

I envy you for you upcoming adventure. Couple (ok, a few) things I'd suggest:
