The racing season is starting!

Kyle Busch won't win a Cup points race this year. I thought I'd brag a bit: Nice pen (making pens is one of my hobbies).

More car picture diversions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. 1960 Chrysler Imperial 2. 1958 Pontiac 3. 1956 Continental 4. 1962 Mercury 5. 1956 Chevrolet (customized with blue dot) 6. 1964 Pontiac 7. 1957 Buick 8. 1960 Thunderbird 9. 1959 Cadillac 10. 1958 Desoto

I've taken a lot of pictures at local car shows. I thought I'd share a few for an off-season distraction. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1 = 1963 Pontiac 2 = 1961 Oldsmobile 3 = 1959 Mercury 4 = 1959 Chrysler 5 = 1956 Dodge 6 = 1959 Oldsmobile 7 = 1959 Pontiac 8 = 1962...

The channel has had a few names over the years. I like a lot of the programs on the channel but I never got into the drag racing "reality" programs. I've enjoyed all of the Wheeler Dealer iterations and I like Garage Squad (Boogy is a good addition but I do miss Heather).

The last real truck was from International Harvester.

For snow plowing you need a heavy duty vehicle, I know that stock F150s have tranny problems when plowing (also inexperienced drivers can cause truck problems).

Jimmie Johnson is to run the full Indycar series next year. I came across the following story: https://apnews.com/article/sports-lifestyle-business-nascar-indianapolis-500-7d497d208fa670d55e79ef532a5a1a10 I think Johnson is a great driver but his performance last year was below my...

NASCAR wouldn't allow a tire change until the pace car gathered up the field.

???? Race control picked the winner.

I came across a couple F1 cheats: An F1 innovation happened when they limited the fuel to one tank full, a team made the gas tank into a refrigerator to get a little more fuel. F1 starts each race when the start lights turn off, a couple teams determined a radio signal turned the lights out...

I enjoy the stories about cheating innovations. Keep in mind that all of these innovations turned the pamphlet of a rule book into volumes (I don't know how big the rule book is now).

Max was trying to dictate where the pass would be made so he could use DRS to retake the lead. I think Hamilton knew what he was doing and tried to avoid it. I prefer the push-to-pass that Indycar uses. I first thought it was a gimmick but seeing it in practice it allows drivers to...

I've given up trying to understand F1 officiating.

I thought it was interesting that Jr and Kevin had said things that offended each other and they didn't know they offended each other. I was also surprised that they socialized early in their careers.
