Oreo Shamrock McFlurry.....

So many murdered tires with this truck. I love every insane bit of it.

This is simultaneously impressive and thoroughly terrifying. 

I give NASCAR a lot of crap, but the safety mechanisms in the car 100% did their job here. Cheers to every engineer throughout the last several decades who made important changes to make NASCAR safer. This includes Mr. Newman himself. He’s advocated for several driver containment updates that likely saved his life.

On the plus side, Katherine and Christina are still racing together with GEAR, and their car had arguably the coolest looking livery in the field.

Old habits die hard. Anachronisms are fun! 

Isn’t any leather bag technically a carrion bag? 

As long as they aren’t using cubic corgis as measurement. That could get weird.

They already measure other performance stats with things like horsepower. I motion that all car rags start measuring overall interior capacity in sheepdogs. 

Keeping Newman, Blaney, and LaJoie in my heart tonight. Ryan needs all the prayers he can get right now. I can't imagine how Ryan Blaney and Corey are feeling right now. I hope all of them can look back on this one day and say "that was scary, but we all made it through ok."

I mean, that’s just being responsible and forward thinking. 

Wust is what happens when you drive one of these things in the winter in New England. 

Hell hath no fury like a used WRX (or german car out of warranty)

I’d be 100% in were Charlize Theron featured in such a project. The Italian Job remake is one of my favorite movies, and she’s a large part of it. The word on the street is that she was an ace behind the wheel during the training prior to filming, and that she put some serious whooping on the rest of her costars. 

So if I’m reading this correctly, you suggested a viper and then a Shelby.

I get how that could turn folks off. At the same time, seeing what the SCCA’s rulebook looks like, I also understand that side of things too. Ultimately a “run what ya brung” style event would be tons of fun, but if they are looking to do a period specific event and avoid modern hardware and such, there have to be…

I wouldn’t be intimidated by that. There’s tons of “hip” looking folks, but there’s also a ton of people like me showing up in jeans and a t-shirt just looking to have a good time. I can’t really say I’ve run into any snobbery at the event to be honest. 

I’ve been a similar number of times and I have had the complete opposite experience. It’s the only car event I’ve been to where nobody in the crowd is being elitist about a brand or type of car, and everyone is there to watch a good show. I met people from Scotland, from all parts of the US, and even France. The guy…

100% would watch that.

Go to the Race of Gentlemen in Wildwood in the fall. Your stance on Hot Rods might change. I never was a huge fan myself, but going to that event a few times turned me around. It is such a fantastic event.
