I used to be into the drags decades ago, not today though. But last year a friend from Route 66 Dragway over in Joliet invited me to stop over during the nationals, you know, John Force and all of those guys, so I stopped over. He took me to the top of the tower behind the starting line, like 5 or 6 stories tall, and I was standing at the rail looking down as they took off below me. Beyond loud, the pressure coming out of the headers from the rails clear up there would part your hair. Impressive from way back when. Times and technologies have changed. Today they fire them up out by the trailers and a guy is hooked up to a module on them with a laptop, and give it time, they won't even be hooked up anymore, will be doing that wireless...if they don't already.

Seperately, when I watch a NASCAR race these days and hear how a 13 second pitstop was slow and cost positions, and then I see old film footage from the '60's when Richard Petty would climb out of his car in the pits so that his crew could change tires using 4 way tire irons...yes, technologies sure have changed, and that's in part why I'm so fat. Grin.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
