I thought the last chance race showed how the "move 'em out of the way" style racing works. I'm not a fan of that style of racing.

12 hours at Sebring weekend of March 10 - got a bit of a wait.

The night racing impressed me. When I first started following the race Daytona wasn't lit and it was too dark to follow the action. The lighting on the cars is cool, it was easy to ID the cars at night. The track lighting helped too.

Great race. I'm happy for Helio and his team.

I've become a fan of the GT class

The caution rule where cars in class get grouped together keeps more cars in touch with the leader because they don't have to pass other classes after the caution. I was hoping there wouldn't be a late caution. There seem to be a lot of full course cautions.

I caught an interview with Kyle Petty last night comparing running the race when he ran back in the day to today. He pointed out that drivers only had to show up for practice and the race, today it requires a much bigger time commitment. He had a good perspective and saluted all the drivers...

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).

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...
