$10K OTD on a ‘22? Send that dealer’s contact info. It’s north of $12.5K in TX. MSRP is ~$10.3K. Hottest market in decades. You sure your guy quoted accurately?

Call it what you will. Racism, stereotyping, prejudices. It exists across all segments of society, from boardrooms packed with C-level to the retread shop by the tracks. Some forms are very visible, others thinly veiled. It doesn’t take a degree in English ... more »

Ad F1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda to the mix!

Cooper is the best at “shrinking” a track, i.e. minimum distance per lap. The guy has a knack for riding the tightest line, which pays huge dividends over 20 minutes. In golf, it’s “drive for show, putt for dough”. The SX version: “whoops for show, corner ... more »

KR: “What do you want me to do?” HRC: “Not drop the motorcycle.”

If we could only get Vic Ramano and Kenny Blankenship in the booth! Maybe replace Wil with Captain Tennille while we’re at it...

Once Cameron completed a self-assessment of his situation, he made a business decision: if I don’t remount & race, it’s over. The championship, and possibly my career. I’m 23 and on my first tour with a top-level team. My life has revolved around ... more »

Recall as if were yesterday standing trackside at a National outside of Atlanta declaring “that bike ain’t got no rear suspension!” as The Jammer flew by on his Uni-Trak marvel..

Watching the F-14 ramp through its afterburner zones on the cat at night never got old. Like a fire-breathing beast exhaling with full-force before taking flight. We were typically strapped into our own jets during that sequence but sometimes I would ... more »

Top 3 “50”/electric riders were clearing the double leading into the whoops. Highlight of the night...

James did not need to clear the wall jump to win Daytona 2011. In fact, he could have easily won more races and championships by simply backing down a bit. But 10 years later we’re not talking about who won Daytona, we’re talking about a spectacular ... more »

Rider: Charley Bogard Location: Moiser Valley Lapped: Often. Sometimes with Brad Woolsey & Grayson Goodman in tow. Charley’s 125 sounded like the throttle was safety-wired WFO.

As you might surmise from my avatar, I agree. The loopout alone would have sent most riders to the sidelines, and the visor blocking his peripheral vision would have forced others to ride conservatively. But RC wasn’t wired that way. If anyone asks “Who ... more »

Ironically both the DC-10 and L-1011 were swan songs for Douglas and Lockheed’s commercial aircraft ventures. DC later merged with Boeing, while Lockheed focused on military aircraft and avionics. The DC-10 had a rather poor safety record, while the ... more »

The A6-E was a great platform, and had one of the best ready rooms on the ship. In-flight management of the navigation & delivery systems was sometimes challenging, but seldom boring, especially at night, 250’ AGL, flying between ridge lines of the ... more »

The L-10 Lemons, aka the Tri-Tanic? My dad was a Delta pilot, 1969-99. That plane had a less than stellar reputation.
