My take on it is that the sheriffs and any law enforcement individuals are supposed to UPHOLD laws and act in accordance to established guidelines. NOT create their own ideas for whom and how to...

I wrote about the Smackdown--including my assessment of the preposterous Kevin Thomas Jr/Team #17RW debacle--on my brother's website. Interested to see some feedback, if you decide to read it....

One other thing: In this modern world, is there no such thing as an affordable and environmentally-approved substance that can limit dust in a racetrack-type of application? Couldn't one of us with...

A racer's decision to race can be a wrong one made for what are essentially almost all the right reasons. Almost. A sanctioning body's decision to self-promote an event (and thus accept...

Before I say anything else, I did not go to Terre Haute Sunday. I have seen some of the best races of my life at The Action Track, and in all three open wheel divisions. Memories are many, and I have...

This has been my thinking exactly. First, on the race today: What experienced racing fan gave this arrangement even a thread of a chance to be anything other than a debacle? It's the 21st Century....

No offense to Grant or Hendricks or Riggs, but compared to the All-Killer/No-Filler Heat #2, Heat # 3 looks like the one to be slotted in. I'd like to see a career wins-comparison between the...

Any blind draw format should include some form of passing point-system. ASCS has a format that should have at least aspects of it incorporated into others'. Just a tweak or two to the current MSCS...

I don't care that "usac told them to water the track"...if that photo is real, that is INSANE. It is indefensible. It demonstrates a lack of understanding regarding track preparation that is beyond...

What Helfrich has made work is more of a hay and straw base, which acts as a sort of fiber for the clay to affix to. Oh...and he also works that track like he's working on bread dough, kneading it to...

Hmmmm....Perhaps we need an outside ruling on just what qualifies as "extensive" and "lengthy". If this was a week's worth of tireless efforts, then...

If you get it at the source (PA) it is about $15.00 per case. Elsewhere, I'll not speculate.

Mr Monahan- I've thought about that issue as well, and Kevin's opinion agreeing with the still-competing drivers not going in over retired ones is a matter of written record. I've often thought of a...
