Grumpy's Toys: The Authorized History of Grumpy Jenkins' Cars (Cartech) List Price: $34.95 Sale Price: $22.82 |
|
Few men have impacted the sport of drag racing like Bill Grumpy Jenkins. His storied history at the drag strip began in the late 1950s, and continues today. Throughout his career, both innovation and success have followed him closely, and this book documents the long and colorful history of the competition cars that proudly bear the name Grumpy's Toy. Grumpy's Toys stands as a full and complete history of Jenkins' career to date as told through his cars, and has been heartily authorized by the man himself (Jenkins wrote the book's foreword.) Author Doug Boyce has been following Jenkins throughout his racing career, and amassed an impressive collection of vintage photography that is shared on the pages. Through his own knowledge, extensive research, and by working with Grumpy himself, Grumpy's Toys offers readers an unparalleled look behind the man and his machines. This book boasts the largest collection of Jenkins-centered vintage photography ever assembled. Input from Grumpy punctuates the tales behind the now-legendary cars, and author Boyce's fan-friendly writing style entertains. Many myths about both Jenkins and his formidable racing cars have grown over the decades, and this book separates the fact from the fiction. This book is essential for the true drag racing fan. |

Here are some more information for Chevy Drag Race:
With increasing gas prices all over the country showing no signs for decreasing in the future, hybrid cars have become the new economic and fashionable vehicle. With the advantages being thrown in the consumer's face at every ad, the disadvantages to purchasing this vehicle are quietly swept under. No vehicle is without its own problems, and it is time to pull the rose-tinted glasses off of hybrid vehicles in order to have an informed opinion during your next trip to the dealership.
1. Household Size Matters - Buying a vehicle normally entails knowing what style of vehicle one wants to find, such as a sedan, convertible, 4 x 4, among others. Know that when looking at hybrid cars, the typical convertible would be larger than its hybrid counterpart, and guarantee that the difference can be significant. Being aware of the consumer's needs mean a strong consideration to space, because in an effort to be more fuel-efficient, hybrid cars are less car and more technology.
2. Bigger Might Be Better - In a fight between a pick-up truck and a compact, there is no question as to which vehicle will win. In fact, pick-up trucks continually win decisive victories against smaller cars, and even with the fuel crisis, people are not turning in their pick-up trucks and SUVs in droves. So, while the consumer may be more fuel-efficient, be aware that hybrid cars have much lower rankings for safety and that these smaller cars will be more vulnerable on the road.
3. A Need for Speed? - While many hybrid cars can compete with typical vehicles on the highway, it is very important to realize that this may not always be the case. Many of these hybrid vehicles are unable to accelerate at nearly the same rate that conventional cars can. That is not to say that hybrid cars cannot travel along highways, just that drag racing may not be the career of choice for the driver of a Prius.
4. The Dreaded Air Conditioning Monster - While that may be dramatic, the truth is that the air-conditioning systems in hybrids may give you some cool air, but ultimately will destroy the gas mileage benefits of the vehicle. A hybrid's engine is much smaller and less weighty, so the additional taxing effect of air-conditioning outweighs its momentary relief.
5. Trust: Always an Issue - Like every big purchase, hybrids are under warranties, and for the most part, the newer models have not come to the end of their warranties. So, that leaves the consumers to wonder just how much these vehicles can be trusted after the warranty is expired. Batteries are not always under warranty, and even when they are, there is no telling how much replacing one may cost a consumer out of warranty, especially when the battery drops out of the bottom of the used hybrid purchased by the unaware consumer.
6. To Fix or Not To Fix - Hybrid cars may look deceptively innocent on the outside, but the technology inside is incredibly complex, and probably will require a different mechanic than the minivan you used to own. So, before deciding to purchase a hybrid, it would be wise to look for a mechanic that you know could handle the repairs that may need to be effected to your vehicle, or consider speaking to your dealer about this situation as well. If not, it might be time to think about another vehicle.
No car is perfect, whether it is a "gas-guzzler" or a fuel-efficient hybrid, so it is important to make sure you weigh all of your options before deciding on a vehicle. If the situation doesn't feel right, do not make the purchase, and make sure you feel comfortable with the vehicle before you buy.

Reid Spencer Predicts Who's in the Chase
Reid Spencer, a Sporting News NASCAR journalist, predicts who is going to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup for the next nine more weeks. He also has predictions as to who will not qualify in the top 35 in owner points at the end of the year and why the entire landscape of Toyota's Nextel Cup effort will witness dramatic changes for next season.
He first looked at the points report NASCAR furnished after Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With this, he concluded that the current top eight drivers in points - Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Burton, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick - are going to be in the race when the cutoff comes at Richmond in September.
Series leader Harvick in eighth place is 507 points behind Gordon. Harvick is 248 points ahead of Ryan Newman in 13th, the first position outside Chase worthiness. Fourteenth placer Jamie McMurray is 305 behind Harvick, and 15th-place Kurt Busch drags the Daytona 500 winner by 357.
Having those figures, the journalist writes that it might be possible for one of those three drivers to replace Harvick, but the writer assures it is not going to happen.
Positions nine through 12 are occupied by Chevrolet drivers Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., Clint Bowyer and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Behind Gordon at 628 points lead is Earnhardt. But Earnhardt is 127 ahead of Newman (Dodge), 184 ahead of McMurray (Ford) and 236 ahead of Kurt Busch (Dodge).
Spencer writes that it is possible for any of the four drivers in 9th through 12th to fall out of the Chase, but again, he predicts that it is not going to happen. He adds that drivers currently in the top 12 will still be in the top 12 after Richmond, without exception.
He further writes that the introduction of the Car of Tomorrow (COT) has built a status system in Nextel Cup -those who have an advantage in testing and development of the COT, and those who do not have.
Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Richard Childress Racing have their COT programs hitting on all cylinders, from a team standpoint. But from a manufacturer view, Chevy is at the forefront in the development of the new car.
Getting the top eight positions at New Hampshire are the Chevy drivers. Seven of those drivers belong to one of the four teams mentioned above, Jeff Green being the exception.
Also finished in the top 13 at NHIS were 12 of the drivers currently in the top 13 in the standings, with Bowyer being the only exception, who had trouble with an oil cooler line. The journalist writes that the situation is hardly a coincidence and just more of evidence that the gap will widen between 12th place and those below the cutoff.
Spencer adds that the teams that are performing well now will continue to do so in order to solidify their positions in the race. He deduces that the public will not witness a battle for the final spot when Richmond rolls around. He further writes that the suspense and drama of 2006 when Kasey Kahne edged Tony Stewart by 16 points in the race for the 10th and final position before the Chase was increased to 12 drivers simply will not happen this year.
He adds that there will not be any suspense on who makes the top 35 in owner points, either. According to him, failing to qualify for the Lenox Industrial Tools 300 was a devastating flurry for 36th placer Scott Riggs' Evernham Motorsports team, which descended 182 points behind the No. 70 Haas CNC Chevy driven by Johnny Sauter.
Thirty-seventh in owner points New Hampshire pole sitter Dave Blaney is 188 back of Sauter. The Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford driver Bill Elliott is 219 points behind Sauter in 38th spot. Spencer predicts that those are the only three cars with a remote possibility of unseating the No. 70.
However, the writer again forecasts that it will not happen, and that is the basis of Toyota's difficulty. According to him, Toyota, maker of quality Toyota starters, will start the 2008 season in a more unfavorable shape than it started 2007 -- with no teams in the top 35 in owner points.
Being in the top 35 in 2006, Blaney, therefore was guaranteed a starting spot in the first five races this year. Dale Jarrett will still have six past champion's provisionals to use next year. These statements were based on a lot of assumptions like: NASCAR does not amend the past champion's rule, Jarrett still drives a Toyota and Michael Waltrip Racing still exists.
The writer states that it is not the sort of progress Toyota will find acceptable in its second season. Blaney's pole at Toyota's first in the Cup Series - New Hampshire - certainly was a parcel on a generally barren landscape. But the current predicament of Toyota, according to Spencer, brings urgency to the carmaker's courtship of Joe Gibbs Racing.
Spencer recommends that Toyota needs a team with marquee stars who are guaranteed to race. From Gibbs' standpoint, the organization would move from second, third or fourth in Chevy's stricking order - depending on how heavily a driver weights performance, history and sentiment - to elite status as Toyota's flagship team.

Tattoo ideas that represent my passion for cars/motorsports.?
I want to get a tattoo that represents my passion for cars. I like the Mr. Horsepower design but i dont really want a bird on my arm. I would also like something that represents Horsepower or speed.I drive and drag race a Chevy Camaro so ive also thought about getting the corvette/chevy racing flags. Does anyone have any unique ideas or pictures of automotive tattoos?
This would have alot of meaning to me since im currently in school minoring in motorsports engineering, and have been working on cars since i was 16. They have been a huge part of my life and kept me out of trouble.
yeah the tread marks is a good idea, i just cant find any examples and im not sure i want something going around my arm since it could look like the barb wire that everyone gets.
i might get the corvette racing flag but not for my first tattoo. thanks for the ideas! anyone go anymore?
you know how a lot of guys get chain designs tattooed around their biceps, wrists, etc.? You could try doing the same thing, except with some sort of tire tread design. just a thought.
EDIT: some examples:

i think they're very distinct from the traditional barb wire tattoo.
