I have always put NASCAR Haulers at the top for having some of the best looking wraps and paint schemes on the road. But I just finished watching a video of them arriving at the Clash today and I’m wondering if there is a competition for who can have the ugliest hauler this year. There were a...

But you are just a low-level meter reader so how can you be authorized to do such an important job? I know you are that because NB keeps telling all of us. He couldn't have been wrong, could he? ;) :D Thanks for working your butt off to help get what's left of those communities back in a...

Thanks' Greg, now I may never be able to eat potato soup again. :(

I want the first race there to be a success and entertain the fans that spend their hard-earned money to go to see it in person or the fans that spend their valuable time tuning in to watch it on tv... and for that reason I'm going to stay home. I have gone to two races there and both of them...

Not every invention works to perfection the first time around. :D

Here are some other videos of Robs I ran across that you guys might find interesting.

Here is another series of videos Rob made when he was replacing the front half on a top fuel dragster a few years ago.

For anyone that might be interested in what goes into building a top fuel dragster and how the different systems on the car works might like these videos that long time crew chief Rob Wendland made. Here are the first 2 episodes he has downloaded. The first one basically shows a lot of the...

Brittany is always working. It's a tough job but someone has to do it. :D

That brings back some old memories. Just about every Thursday night on race weeks Big Jim, Dianne and I would go out for BBQ or steak.:)

Good interview with Sammy and an awesome looking car.

Edit to my above post, I meant to type 392 Hemi not 396. :D

Tim and the Banter Bros were definitely the master minds behind most of the innovations in tractor pulling back in those days and were definitely the ones that won more championships than anyone else. Tractor pulling started out pretty cheap to compete with just an old, carbureted gas engine...

Here was another video I found of T-Mez getting the results from a pull on the dyno in a different car. It also shows a modified tractor Engler was building. You might have to start the video over.

I hadn't seen that video above before I did that post. I didn't realize that was actually Tims motor and car. I thought he was just helping T-Mez. So, T-Mez is actually driving for Engler. Learn something new every day. :D

That Engler on the side of his car is Tim Engler. When I was in my early 20's and had a blown modified pulling tractor in Indiana Tim was one of the best multi engine tractor builders in tractor pulling and he built a lot of the top puller's tractors. He was also a multi time NTPA champion and...

The racing is always great at the Chili Bowl, but Mom's is always a great place to eat during the Chili Bowl... full of fans, racers, and great food. :D

I agree. I cut mine off a couple of months ago but now I'm growing it back. I don't look good either way, but I have less to shave with one. :D

He does look a lot different. I have a lot of respect for that man for what he has accomplished and for helping advance the racing careers for some very talented younger drivers.
