Over the years, I've noticed that Friendship Speedway has always had a strange definition of "friendship"...

I don't have much of an impression about Ty Gibbs yet, since I haven't seen much of him. But I admit that I am more impressed by drivers who run up front in lessor equipment than I am of drivers with equipment that comes from a top-shelf organization that has much more resources than most of...

Here's why I got confused - I have some charts, prepared by "A Better Routeplanner" on the Cleantechnica website (2018), that show real world data collected from Tesla owners for battery range vs. speed (and also vs. temperature) that do not agree with your experience. I've also found similar...

Sorry - somehow that 15 degrees Fahrenheit (and less) temperature failed to register with me. Ouch, that's cold! Those kinds of temperatures are pretty tough on all types of cars, but yes batteries don't fare well when they're that cold. Would have to park it inside a heated garage to combat...

That's pretty much every race at Bowman Gray, except there are more laps...

There must be something wrong with your Tesla. It should only lose about 5% to 10% of its range due to cold weather - not the 50% or more that you report. Call Tesla service - they'll come to you.

Very nice cars and pictures! Those cars are probably in better-than-new condition, but they're still fun to see. Our little town in WV had some of the brands, but each dealer only had a few cars (and they might not have any of the top end models). Still was fun when the new cars came out and...

None of the current Cup bodies measure the same as the street cars they emulate.

Dodge announced that it's next muscle car will be electric, too.

Now you know what it's like at The Madhouse...

By "scare off" I mean irritate to the point of making them spend their money elsewhere.

I suppose he might hope to attract more red necks than he loses in fans who are not there to be bullied... if the red necks find it a little safe place for them... The sign bothers me because it infers that some citizens are inferior and unwelcome - and also that in this day of so much...

Oddly, gas around here has been $2.89 ever since the Colonial Pipeline hack. A few stations have gone down as low as $2.79 or $2.84, but most stations have been stuck at $2.89 for about two months now - these same stations used to go up and down several times a week...

LOL, I'm sure they mean well... but it is not good business practice to scare off customers before they've had a chance to sample your actual product...

You're right. Thanks for clearing that up - I had them confused.

LOL, 68 is one of the numbers I've used over the years - but I'm first to admit to not being famous! First used it when I expanded to two karts at the track at the same time. My number back then was 89, and being the cheapskate that I am I just turned some 89 number plates upside down and...

There are sets of little electric blankets, made to fit those small tires exactly - and resist the tire soak (that does destroy them eventually)... There are tanks, with rotisseries and heaters (that allow you to evenly apply soak inside and out, while also heating them)... I've seen people aim...

Yeah, I raced karts back then. I couldn't afford the dozens of sets of mounted tires that these guys had (plus all the different chemicals that they used on them) so I was just experimenting with things that I could afford. Saw too many of those trailers full of mounted tires - you should have...

Agree with acmerocket. Ask around in the pits - someone is bound to have a second car that they would be willing to let you try (especially if you're offering to pay expenses and allow them to share the track time that you're willing to buy). There are a lot of people racing at Millbridge who...

Yep, I could write pages about track owners abusing racers with their tire sales programs - but I won't because it would just bum us all out. Bottom line: we don't race at those tracks anymore, even though some of them are closer to home than the tracks we still go to. Always thought that it...
