NASCAR: Raceday at Martinsville

19-Oct-08

The front and backstretchs take about 4 seconds on the throttle before getting hard on the brakes. Pit road entry is at the end of [...]

03-Oct-08

Ok, ok, yeah, I know!! Name’s on the door, and yet I’ve been a no-show around here lately, and I’m terribly sorry about that … lotsa’ good reasons, but not ONE excuse worthy of you OR Grump for his tireless work around this rather emptier ‘office’ lately.  All I can say with true sincerity here [...]

NASCAR: Bruton Smith Still On Mission To Save NASCAR

15-Sep-08

While presidential candidate John McCain shook hands with potential voters in the garage at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, it was Speedway Motorsports Chairman Bruton Smith [far right, striped shirt, of course, grin] who was the ultimate politician this weekend.

NASCAR: Dale Earnhardt, Sr. & “Die-Casts”. Let’s REALLY Take A LOOK At What’s ‘Intimidating’, Shall We?

16-Aug-08

“Back In Black”, INDEED.
Gotta’ thank Grump for this one, because his post on this new “#3 Die-Cast BS-series-BS (did I mention BS?)” subject earlier today (along with our subsequent comments,) inspired me to take yet another look at what REALLY counts in terms of remembering not just a “legend” or a “merchandising tool” to some [...]
