I worked short-track asphalt racing for years until I decided to move on. Other than Lemons, racing doesn’t get much closer to its roots than life on these disappearing banked ovals. Read more

Two things. First, this was a really fun watch. It made me wish my dad and I could do this. Second, where you racing with a drink in the rear cup holder? Read more

Does your mom know what headers are? I was pretty impressed at that. “Souped up” was a perfectly fine term back in the 60s or 70s. I imagine it was passed down to Alanis (who was maybe repeating what her Mom has just said). Or maybe it has hung on in Texas, the way isolated populations develop their own languages. We… Read more

Oh my god! I had no idea you would be out there! I’m the red Focus SVT you raced against! This was a picture from later in the night, it was a blast! No matter what you say though, that Genesis is a very nice car!
