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.

Has Jr interviewed Matt Kenseth? Those two had a friendly rivalry in the Busch series and I think they were friends. Both congratulated each other in victory lane at their first wins. Jr was the first to win a race during their first year in Cup but Matt won Rookie of the Year over Jr.

My favorite qualifying is the Twin 125s and the All Star race when they included a pit stop. I'm interested to see how the four formats work. The last new format (parking at the end of pit road) was a disaster.

I went with the copy & paste option.

I've seen the F1 points leader wreck their competition to prevent them from gaining points in the past.

The virtual trophy is nice - I'll find a nice place to display it in my computer.

Thanks pjmolo for doing the work, I had fun following the predictions.

I didn't know the Dinger would be racing Cup when I made my prediction. I figured a plate race or a rain-shortened race were outside chances for a non charter team to win. It turns out road racing is also an equalizer.

I got a kick out of last week's episode. Dale & Austin Dillon compared notes about the new car (both test drove the car). I was amused when they were talking about a diffuser that creates down force. Dale asked a question only a driver would ask "Would you bump the back of a car to damage the...
