Ok, so the MTV Video Music Awards are at the Barclay’s Center tonight. I can’t tell you how weird it is sitting in my living room watching the Red Carpet show being broadcast from three blocks away.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that this is one of those “Wow, New Mexico was a long time ago and a long way away” moments.

The ride-alongs are getting set, just waiting for the page to report for equipment and radio check.

Driver’s meeting in 30 minutes, then it’s on to the track. 150+ mph is the goal.


Secret Chevy Stash for Sale! … FoxNews – “Seventeen years have passed since Ray Lambrecht closed his Chevrolet dealership, a small-town operation in northeast Nebraska with a big and valuable secret.
For decades, the owner of the Lambrecht Chevrolet Co. in Pierce held on to new cars and trucks that didn’t sell right away. He stashed them in warehouses, at his farm and in other spots around the town he worked in for 50 years.
Now, his automotive nest egg — about 500 vintage cars and trucks — will go on the auction block. Next month, visitors from at least a dozen countries and throughout the U.S. will converge on the 1,800-resident town, or bid online.
The two-day auction will feature mostly unsold Chevrolets that have sat untouched for decades. They’ll go on the block in as-is condition. About 50 have fewer than 20 miles on the odometer, and some are so rare that no one has established a price. The most valuable, including a rare Chevy Cameo pickup, could fetch six-figure bids from collectors who view them as works of art to display or as restoration projects.

This is pretty glorious. Creepier than the original, a thing which I didn’t really think was possible.
This is lovely. I still can’t believe there won’t be any more Culture 😦

“Honda plays sonic tribute to F1 legend Ayrton Senna at Suzuka circuit Japan. Utilising high powered speakers placed the entire length of the circuit, Honda engineers use telemetry data from Senna’s record-breaking qualifier lap of the 1989 Suzuka F1 to recreate one more lap from The Wizard Of The Wheels. ”
So from what I can tell having seen the preview for the new Riddick trailer it’s the plot of Aliens except that instead of Space Marines they’re Bounty Hunters, and instead of Newt it’s Vin Diesel.
I don’t think I have much of a problem with that, to be honest.
