I keep running across some near flyers from back in the day when drivers were --well they were drivers.
This flyer is from Carrell Speedway in Gardenia California back in 1952-----enjoy
My Dad used to fly to his various jobs in a Cessna. It was a 4 passenger but it had a hard time taking off from those dirt spots Dad called strips. A guy up in Travelers Rest (cant remember his name) put a bigger motor on that plane and it would hop off the ground then.
One time it was so foggy you couldnt see the fog he set that dang thing down on the dirt and I swore off flying with him then and there.
Dad was a B-25 pilot and a dang good one but I can drive slow enough on the ground to miss a tree but that crop dusting he liked to do wasnt my cup of tea.. Mama put a stop to it after I voiced my displeasure's..
Ha Ha She is threatening me with the frying pan as she laughs about it.
i figured the site needed a little chuckle
I really need someones advice on a serious problem: I have been working late at night on the racecar and things have been bothering me with the car..
I have also suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.
The usual signs: If the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot.
I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall asleep.
Anyway last night about midnight I hid in the sh op behind the racecar .
When she came home she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse, then she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.
It was at that moment crouched behind the racecar that I noticed a hairline crack in the left engine mounting bracket.
Is that something I can weld or do I need to replace the whole bracket...
Driver Parker Kligermans pit stop went smoothly during the NASCAR Nationwide Series 5 Hour Energy 200 at Dover, except for one little oversight.
Seems the crew forgot to remove the jack attached to the bottom of his car as Kligerman took off. He actually didawhole lap, albeit slower than usual, before making another stop to take the jack off. Also, to make matters worse, front tire changer Mark Armstrong was struck by the jack as the car left the pit stop, ending his day. Kligerman finished 11th in the race.
NASCAR penalized the No. 2 Penske Racing Sprint Cup team on Tuesday after its entry failed postrace inspection following Sundays race at Dover International Speedway.
Defending series champion Brad Keselowski was docked six driver points after officials discovered the front of his car did not meet the minimum front car heights," in violation of the NASCAR rulebook. The team also violated the rules covering actions detrimental to stock car racing and race equipment that is used in the event that does not conform to NASCAR rules, according to the sanctioning body.
Crew chief Paul Wolfe, who was already on probation following a violation concerning suspension parts discovered at Texas Motor Speedway, was fined $25,000 and remains on probation until Dec. 31. Team owner Roger Penske will also lose six owner points.
"The Penske Racing No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion experienced a part failure during Sunday's Dover Sprint Cup Series Race which resulted in the car's front end being too low when presented for post-race inspection," Penske Racing said in a statement. "The problem is being addressed internally to ensure it does not occur again and the team is not planning to appeal the penalty."
Now how pray tell does someone do this when they know so well that eyes are on them for anything that seems the least bit tilted. I can only think how the king pin Penske is thinking at this time. Or do you have a different idea----------------------?
Penske Racing says Brad Keselowski 's car at Dover failed a post-race inspection because of a broken part in the front of his Ford.
Keselowski finished fifth in Sunday's race and NASCAR said afterward the entire front was too low. Team owner Roger Penske said Monday the failure was due to a broken part that allowed a front spring to fall.
NASCAR addresses infractions and issues penalties on Tuesdays.
Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe just returned last week from a three-race suspension for using unapproved parts and is on probation through the end of the year. The typical penalty for a car being too low in inspection has been the loss of six points and a $25,000 fine for the crew chief.
