The shows aren’t scripted, it’s impossible to script them.

IMG also promotes the Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup events, they’re a very capable company. Hopefully with them running things we’ll finally get real, actual rallycross tracks in the US.

Fix the header bar, for one thing. The last couple days it disappears if I click on the “Notification” button on both computer and phone.

Merlin 540 engine, Powerglide 2-speed trans, (typically) SCS transfer case, axles with Rockwell F106 center section and Clark planetaries. Superchargers are 8-71 at 10% overdrive, transfer case gearing is a closely guarded secret, third members are typically 6.20, Clark planets are 3:1, transmission ratios are posted

The seats are definitely not the Kirkey seats of old, modern containment seats are custom-built to fit each driver and can make it uncomfortable for others to sit in.

That arena footage is of Justin Sipes from the Triple Threat Central tour last year, mostly Louisville and Nashville.

Reminds me of Cole Venard, former Grave Digger driver now driver of the Black Pearl monster truck. His left leg is prosthetic and he drives just as well as any other driver, definitely doesn’t let the prosthetic slow him down in the slightest.

Dammit, I just ordered that Omen from Woot last week at that price but with $55 shipping + tax. For what it’s worth I just started using it yesterday and I like it for the litle bit I’ve used it, the keys are a little hard to see at night though.

Most sideways? Gigi Galli says “That’s cute.”

Hayabusas are best used when their engines are placed in race cars.

Rallycross is the best place for electric racing to go. Short races not dependent on regeneration, battery capacity exceeding that needed for short 4- and 6-lap races, and cars that already accelerate faster than everything short of Pro-level dragsters. As weird as it is to say, I’d welcome this with open arms.

The only answer is Reliant Robin.

Replace “cars” with any other product (food, furniture, electronics, etcetera), would you still say “they should be auctioned off”? Or is it only because they’re cars and you’re a car “enthusiast” that they shouldn’t be destroyed?

Nightmare fuel? Really? No one was close to injured, nothing that couldn’t be easily reworked was damaged.

Pad the bottom line? Bernie approves.

Looks like the windscreens of NHRA of old, I like it.

James May approves.

That Fiat is begging for an interior stripping, full cage and seat/harness, and a Literbike or Hayabusa engine in the back. Some suspension tweaking/replacement and it’ll be an excellent trackday sleeper.

Good time to bring this gif back up.

Either Nash or Hudson, because they later merged to form AMC and I have a soft spot for AMC.
