So I just found this

This is a photo of Richard Petty and an Angry Bobby Allison Fan, Fortunately Dale Inman is about to save the day and clock the guy out.

So what started all of this?

53 years ago, a legend was born.

Been a while and since Sebring has passed by, I decided to post these:

[Chives2112]

Anybody remember hearing this starting grid music?



Well, I just heard it during the qualifying session for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on the NBC Sports Network!

[Metro 6r4]

Scary wreck for Kubica again.

To anyone outside the US: is this any different for this season? I don't recall NBC Sports Network showing it so far:

So I guess dirt late models can do wheelies too.


Came upon this picture one day. I heard the track got shut down a while back and will be up for auction within a couple of months. THAT is how you do a salute to the fans.

[vbooy57]

The elite doing what they do best.

Testing a new trick I just learned on a forum of a similar layout to this one:




It works! Ahhh Yeeeaah

Actually, it was an overzealous Petty fan wanting an autograph, and that's Maurice with the helmet, not Dale Inman. He hit the guy, thinking he was an Allison fan wanting to go after Richard. It's said that they patched things up at the concession stand.

And to think the best National Anthem performance, also done by a guitar, was done a few weeks later.

We have the F1 RedBull team wearing Star Wars gear a while back, and then we have a DTM team wearing this past weekend:

[Vincent Giacalone]

Found a picture of a really early (2004-ish) COT prototype in the R&D center.

Remember back when the female drivers as avatars fad started, A girl I used to race against had that happen to her when she was in Wingless Sprints, and being the idiot that she is crashed and flipped.

[Alta]

That was really bad.

[Mother of Invention]

[Chives2112]

Pretty cool slogan, if you ask me.

[Metro 6r4]

Going to see this crazy bit of kit tomorrow. Along with the worlds fastest toilet and mobility scooter.

[navycook75]

Oh Hinchcliffe, there's a reason why I'm a fan of you.

[Sparkz47]

I remember someone saying on TeamSpeak last night that they wanted to see this, and honestly, it was just too good to pass up.

[crl]

I didn't know Adrian Newey raced cars, as well. He's certainly better at designing them:

[Milan655]

Applause to these excellent drivers:

Awesome stuff to see. Reminds me of this.

Kyle Larson taking it to the next level.

[Chives2112]

Skip to 0:41:50 to hear a pretty entertaining radio transmission that ESPN managed to pick up.

[RealRacer4]

Oh god, my sides.   

[Spannerhead29 (Nelson)]

YEAH BUDDAY URNHARRRRT.

Did that so many times is Sprintcar games at Silver Dollar and Bloomington it's not funny. Apparently she's the daughter of the guy who runs the series. Explains a bit.

So, Brock Beard (the YouTube starting lineups guy) made a video celebrating NASCAR's 25 years at Sonoma; they put it on the big screens around the track during pre-race festivities on Sunday. This is that video:

One of the scariest BTCC wrecks I've seen to this day.

The same guy, Russell Spence if some of you don't know got jailed for 13 months in November 2011 after being in a fraud-related chain of 9 car washes.

[Milan655]

Russell Spence, also famed for stepping on his brakes in protestation of the failure to wave a red flag:



A true PoS.

[BBoy]

Almost a one-way ticket to a Darwin Award for these idiots...

That is a sweet circuit.

The way he tries to drink his espresso through his helmet is pure gold.

 And this is why I love most indycar drivers. Absolutely hilarious.

So Matt Crafton was turning laps in at a local dirt track in his truck car.
 
He ran a dirt modified in the DirtCar Nat'ls at Volusia during Daytona Speedweeks earlier this year and did okay given what little experience he has on dirt. I wouldn't be surprised if Crafton does well when the NCWTS heads to Eldora in 2 1/2 weeks.

[Alta]

This happened at Bowman Gray tonight.

[BBoy]

This happened at Bowman Gray tonight.

Madhouse or not, this is one of the most despicable things I've ever seen a race car driver ever do. Hoping that for once the officials at Bowman-Gray do something sensible and ban the driver of the 02 for life from the track.

[RealRacer4]

The guy driving off is VERY, VERY lucky that he didn't kill the other guy holding on to the race car.

[SpeedDemon37]

This happened at Bowman Gray tonight.

That could've ended so much worse than it did, and all are lucky that it didn't.
