Super something Sunday
The Super Bowl, everyone is all in a lather. Will the Saints beat the Nicks? Well, now you know my level of interest. Really, I do know it’s the Cardinals and the Steelers, how could one not know? I know, but I don’t really care. I could repeat that as many times as I have heard or read references...

Who am I to report racing?
My son is a motocross racer, my other son races radio control cars. I race radio control cars and on rare occasions, ride a dirt bike on a private motocross track. I have always been a fan of motor sports racing of all kinds. As the new Supercross and Motocross seasons are upon us I will try to...

Supercross Lites unsettled
When it comes to action, the Lites class dishes it out. Top contenders Ryan Dungey and Jason Lawrence were trash talking as if they were in the WWF. Ok, so it was mostly Lawrence, he seems to like to propagate that bad guy image, either that or he just doesn’t have a clue. Make no mistake, Lawrence...

Carl wins the race, Jimmy wins the crown.
The NASCAR season drew to a close today at Homestead Florida on the mile-and-a-half track there. All Jimmy Johnson had to do was finish no lower than 36 th place. All Carl Edwards had to do was win the race and hope Jimmy encountered bad luck. Bad luck visited Dale Ernhardt Jr. in the form of a...

Formula 1 finish scripted by the racing Gods?
The youngest F1 champion and the first F1 champion, as the announcers put it, “of color” are one and the same in young Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton and Filipe Massa were the only two title contenders left to do battle at the last race of the series in Sao Palo Brazil. Massa was the overwhelming home...

A matter of race
Color doesn’t matter. Motocrossers know that, we have seen it time after time. A rider wins a championship, then switches to another brand of bike. McGrath rode all the brands it seems. No matter which bike he rode, he won on. He was the champion, not the bike. Now James Stewart and Chad Reed are...

The mechanical component
The first word in motor sports is motor and therein lies the rub as Shakespeare might say. The driver or rider can be on top of their game but if the machine craps out, game over. All racers accept this and all racers have been, or will be bitten by a mechanical problem, trust me. Even I, the...

When you’re doing it in the dirt, size matters.
Race cars come in all sizes. Go Karts, Indy cars, Stock cars and yes, even semi trucks have taken to the race track. But wait a minute, these are all cars you have to sit in. What if you were to take that excitement and shrink it down so that an entire racetrack could fit into a building? Its...
