I took the longest stint - a touch over 2h 40min - on Sunday and I can attest to the fact that the V8olvo was mighty hot in there. During each yellow I was opening the top of my drivers suit and trying to force air in so I could breathe a little better. I have a forced-air helmet, but the V8olvo is not set up for Read more

Fifteenth place was the final. Jesse Cortez finished up nice and strongly for us. Read more

Quick update; there was a very hard hit against the wall for the "Gulf" colored Volvo. At this time, I am hearing that it was fatal. More info as I hear it, guys. If you're praying people, now's the time. Read more

As for video.. we have my RallyCam 2000 behind the grille and we're getting awesome footage. Problem is, there ain't the connection here to show it to you. Wait until later tonight. Read more

The two items on the roof are SKULLS with red-lit eyes. They're throttle-sensitive, so when we go wide-open, their jaws clench in anger. Read more

Count Chocunakch here. I am pleased to announce that Murilee Martin has begun her sanctioned racing career as of just ten minutes ago! That saucy minx is quickly proving to be faster than Danica. Everybody wish her luck. Read more

I believe I will have the honor of being the first h00n to drive the V8olvo in anger tomorrow afternoon, and I hereby pre-dedicate the blood of my first avoidable contact victim to: Read more

I've finally seen the car in the metal, and I fell in love immediately. Well, I suppose as a Black Metal V8olvo driver I don't fall in love, unless by "fall" you mean "stab", and "love" you mean "skulls". Read more

A "Big Ingy" is worth about six sets of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, you know - and while the people who drive the SL may be odious, the car itself is really a nice way to circle a road course. Read more

Put Sarah in Danica's car and see how she does. IMO, she would have won her first race much sooner than Ms. "I Married My Old-Balls Fortysomething Personal Trainer" Patrick. Read more

Factoid for the day: In the contest between the United States and ABBA to field F1 drivers in the last thirty years, the United States leads two to one. Read more

@UNÆVÒL\/ED: Very well-stated, and with your notion of the "sacred" I believe you are touching on something interesting. Read more

I find myself troubled by the flat assertion that "isms" and "phobias" are unwelcome. There has been a thousand-year-long battle fought in the West against censorship of the media, whether we are talking about the political pressure on Chaucer, Bowdlerization, The Scarlet Letter, or Lenny Bruce.

Can't wait to kick the competition's collective teeth up through their metaphorical ass. Read more
