    Car Thread

    Heard a new one today. At my age that is a rarity. I was at the auto dealer, getting oil changed, tires rotated, and a new battery. Service tech says there was a little corrosion on the terminals and its $20 to clean that. I'm like WHAT??? I told him "if I'm buying a battery, installed, and you...

    Stock is just a word in the rule book. Like spec, issued, or parts. Every level has parameters. SCCA has a class for every car. 6 run groups with up to 10 classes each. I'm anxious to see Ray Evernham's new IROC event at Lime Rock. It does not matter if a series is 'stock'. I enjoy spec cars...

    Formula 1 Miami

    Its the cars I don't care for. Too much science. This year there was 11 drivers with F1 experience in the Rolex24. I've seen as many as 16 Indycar drivers in it. Its fun watching all the best from all types of series share the same car. I see who is fastest on the stats. McLaren's Zak Brown, the...

    Speaking of Nascar, that was a helluva finish yesterday in Kansas. McLaren might be in for a big month. Kyle Larson will be racing a McLaren at Indy. The Amish Nascar race in Louisville was also a good close photo finish.

    its free if you're a corner marshal, and you get better seats, and free police escorted bus rides to the track. I turned it down, not that much of an F1 fan. Maybe after they let Andretti in I'll do an F1 event.

    Might as well have said euros. That's what most of the people who were there use. Popular win for Lando Norris, Zak Brown, and McLaren. Nice to see someone besides Max Verstappen get one.

    This should make you feel good about what you pay when you go to a stadium concession for food and drinks.

    I remember he asked me if I ever listened to Dr. Hook. I said 'Sure, my older brother had some of his albums.' His wife snickered. I wish I'd been able to know him better. I saw a lot of good free shows by Leon Russell during Bike Week. One was outdoors, back yard of a biker bar, big permanent...

    In 1964, Irma Thomas sang this song before the Rolling Stones did. Thursday they sang it together for the first time. Pretty cool show at New Orleans JazzFest.

    Holy chit I never even heard this song before. Great intro and video. I met Dr. Hook around 1990 when I installed his cable tv. He lived on A1A in Flagler Beach. I had no idea who he was, my work order said 'Ray Sawyer'. He told me about how they hoisted the piano with pulleys over the 2nd floor...

    This song will be on CBS tv show 'Fire Country' this Friday evening, May 3. I've seen a few episodes, its cool that they're using good music. Brandon had back surgery a couple months ago and is still recovering. I hope he got a nice check for this. Some fans started a GoFundMe for his...

    Random, sometimes funny, gif and post padding thread #5

    Really random moment in today's Indycar race. Barber Motorsports Park in B'Ham, AL is a nice course with eccentric art placed around it. This mannequin has been hanging there for as long as I can recall. The cars turbulence must have caused whatever was holding it to give out. I had a similar...
