A thought about Trans Am racing

Hey Mr. Gentilozzi….. I’ve got an idea that may just revitalize Trans Am! Why not go back to the grassroots history? Just think, the North American series with the most history needs something new & a bit of history may be just the thing.

Hans Stuck at the Nurburgring

This clip is just incredible! This is in car footage with Hans Stuck in a 2004 BMW M3 GTR setting a new lap record. There are spots where he is in top gear for what looks like well over a kilometer.

They say I should talk about what I know!

What the hell do I know?

It seems that business sites telling folks how to profit from their blog are popping up all over the place & they are all talking about how you can generate dollars by writing about what you know. Well, what do I know about? I know tons about raising kids, but that doesn’t make me special, or even right. Well, of course I’m right, just ask me! I know lots about me, but who cares about me. Well, a big part of me is cars. In fact, cars pretty much define who I am.

I was born in the later half of the sixties, which I really think was the golden age of racing in North America. We had sports racers being built by factories, local car clubs and handy guys in their garage. We had Trans Am when it was at it’s peak. We had the Can-Am ground pounders. Unlike most kids though, I actually had access to these cars. My Dad raced an outrageous red, white & blue AMX here in Ontario on some of the tracks that have become legends in Ontario history. Harewood Acres. Edenvale. Mosport. I don’t think I stood a chance. I had no choice but to become a car fanatic.

Killjoy

like any good blooger, I attempt to visit the blogs of people who comment on here, so long as they are real people, not just some knob trying to sell me a real estate scam. So I visited Juicy Fruit’s site & was looking forward to reading all about the life of a park ranger.

“I am only 28 years old, I am not too far off from these guys, but when I was their age, I didn’t do stuff like this, I had fun yes, but I didn’t need to break the law to do it.”

What were they doing?

Drinking in the park!!!! Oh my…imagine the horror….teenagers drinking in a park!!! Now don’t get me wrong, I would be the first one to smack them out for making too much noise, making a mess or doing damage in the park, but to find someone so young who is upset by kids drinking is weird. Guy, that is normal behaviour for teenagers! You live in Virginia, not Utah…get a sense of humour!

Don’t even get me started on busting people for having sex in the car…..
