If it sold, as mentioned, they you can suspect the owners were wanting to do something different, took what they perceived as "a good offer" (or better) and will use that money to have a good quality of life as they continue to age. They've contributed a lot to the lives of others, over the...

Before there was a Texas Motorplex in Ennis, the only NHRA track in North Texas (or at least the "main" one) was Green Valley Race City in rural dairyland in North Richland Hills, just south of Keller. It was the main "big time" NHRA track that was in the hot rod magazines from the early 1960s...

Owner retiring? Encroachment of civilization? Cost to upgrade/update? There can be LOTS of side issues going on in the background that we never hear about until it's too late, by observation. CBODY67

A neat video. Thanks for posting it! IF you ever go to the Indy race track, on a normal day, be sure to go to the Museum. After looking at the display of Indy 500 race cars, then head into the small theatre and watch their documentary movie on the race track. Which mentions the early track...

The old, storied Green Valley Raceway was in very rural northeastern Tarrant County when it was built. Only the dairy cows might be upset by the weekend sounds of engines and such. In the earlier 1980s, "civilization" was encroaching on the race track. 1/4 mile track with a road course...

Interesting valve covers on that first car. High-rise with elevated breathers. Neat.

I think that Camping World is also a NASCAR sponsor too?

Was that an exhib run or did they show ETs and MPH? Just curious, CBODY67

Where's that recipe for blueberry with cinnamon glaze doughnuts? Served in a box with "scratch and sniff" burnout box smell? Best while they are still warm, when the rubber is soft. They'll need to find somebody to scrape the rubber off of the rear quarter panels. An apprentice doughnut maker?

Neat link! Thanks for posting! Looks like a lot of "One Of _____" cars for future collectors and enthusiasts. Scroll on down the page for the Cadillac InnerSpace autonomous concept vehicle. The work of a GM advance design studio with Bryan Nesbitt's name attached to it. Bryan was one of the...

Might that "Duster" emblem be the air entering the supercharger? Wanting to make those rear tires go up in smoke?

Before "Direct Connection", there was "Hustle Stuff", which was about 1965 or so. The orig DC was in about 1967 or 1968. Seems like HS was Plymouth and Dodge had something similar but with a different name? DC replaced them both. When I started going to Mopar Nats in about 1988, it was a new...

"DC" was "the deal" back when it was first released! The "Race Manual" was a compilation of all of the individual "Race Manual"s, which usually could be acquired only from a moving display/exposition of DC operatives and cars at various dealerships in the mid-late 1960s. Something that Chevy...

IF we can keep Millenials buying cars, namely Dodges(!), the same generation which many thought would not buy cars at all, then things will work out fine. It was a very nice video! CBODY67

Thanks for posting the Dodge segment of that total video! How the battery power is apportioned out and at what rates would be the function of the software running things. Enjoy! CBODY67

(Creaking grid? Just don't try to charge "anything" in TX when it's 15 degrees F. What is the lowest ambient temp the batteries (vehicle and mass storage) will work at?) Just some thoughts, CBODY67

Seems to me that in this class of racing, what really matters are: tire choice, 2wd or AWD, ambient temp (remember the CAR AND DRIVER test of the Buick GN on a cold winter day in MI?), and how well the driver can drive the vehicle to get the most from it. Always not too neat for an SUV to beat...

IF he's got an internally-enhanced 200-family trans, then it can be good for 500hp and lots of torque (as in Chev 454 hot rod). Less power consumption than a THM400, too. BUT the production OEM ones DID self-destruct just drivng off of the transport trucks, back then. Not sure what the...

LS-Ventura? As in "Ventura = Chevy Nova"? Tell him that when his Ventura grows up to be a Tempest LeMans (as in Chevelle), THEN you might consider it. A Gen III Hemi Valiant/Dart is more his (car's) size. Enjoy! CBODY67

Some creative artwork to graft that old Camaro grille into the new Camaro behind the cowl.
