when men were men and cars were cars

This video clearly goes back to a time when racing was so much simpler, and better for that matter. You didn't need a million dollars and a major sponsor for a year of racing, and you didn't have a million safety requirements, and the cars actually resembled real production cars!  The footage is from 1973, and includes interviews with Jungle Jim, Don Garlits, and Shirley Muldowney!  Its a wild video to watch, link is below!

Daily video #9

Of all things to show up at the dragstrip I think this just about takes the cake, and the sleeper award as well.

Daily Picture #9

Brotherhood Raceway, what more can be said but Legendary!  Besides being the legendary track, the cool super stock style Plymouth with the wheels in the air makes this picture all that much more cool.  The stance, tire setup, and just feel of the car with its yellow paint screams cool!  Of course Big Willie has to be mentioned for his involvement in Brotherhood Raceway and all the good that it did for the car scene.  Hopefully one day he will be able to reopen his track!

Studebaker is coming back? Is that a good thing?

With the news that Studebaker will return and soon be making cars, a lot of people are excited, myself included.  Well I should say that I was excited till I saw the renders of the cars they are going to make.  Be prepared, its not pretty.

Here's a serious question, of these two cars pictured which would you rather own?  The top car is a 1959 Studebaker Lark, and the car on the bottom is the "new" concept for the "new lark".  Honestly, how can they even be called the same thing, its pitiful. 


Here is the other car that has been shown in concept form.  Its called the Studebaker Sport Sedan, and honestly, I don't get it!  It has absolutely no appeal, and looks like its broken.  

Now I might not be able to make a car look that glossy through a computer program, but I know that I could make way better designs for Studebaker.  In conclusion, here is what I think the rebirth of the Avanti should look like!  Would be nice to see old school style return with a big bang!

Daily Video #8

This has to be on the list of worst wrecks in a drag radial car.  The driver Kevin Neal thankfully is ok, and from reports the car is pretty much ok besides the body.  It should be back later this year hopefully.  On the bad side though, this mustang has a big block chevy, that might be the problem with it.

I've posted Anglia's before, but as history has shown, if a little of something is good, then more must be better, so without further to do, I present this awesome picture of this anglia, found on Racing Head Services facebook page!
