Here are some more information for Jones Sprint Car:
It is a fact that some people naturally possess greater punch speed than others. For example, boxers like Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Mayweather are known for their natural hand speed, whilst boxers like Marvin Hagler, Julio Cesar Chavez and Roberto Duran are not particularly considered as blindingly fast punchers (although this didn't seem to hold them back!) What I'm not going to do in this article is pretend to be a physiologist and begin discussing how fast twitch muscle fiber, genetic pre-disposition and so on play their part. However, something that I can say with certainty is that both as a boxer and as a coach, I have witnessed (both in myself and others) a significant improvement in punch speed as a direct result of some simple measures taken in the gym. In this article I'll outline 5 elements that can help you to significantly improve your punch speed. You should feel this improvement after no more than a couple of weeks, so stick with it!
The 5 'Things':
1. Ensure Proper Technique
The object of improving punch speed is to increase your success rate of landing shots, pure and simple. You can possess the greatest punch speed on the face of the earth, but if you have poor technique in terms of delivering your punch, this speed is next to useless. Poor technique will mean that your opponent will spot your shot coming! A shot should make it's presence known to your opponent only when it lands and no sooner! Therefore, make sure that your technique is perfect so that improving your punch speed will bring benefits!
2. Speed in the Mind!
Take a gentle stroll around the gym. Breath deeply, relax. As you are gently strolling, think of super-fast objects, such as:
- A fighter jet
- An Indy or Formula 1 car blasting across the start/finish line
- A bolt of lighting.
At a given moment (ideally someone other than yourself shouting 'Now!', or providing some other signal), switch to your boxing stance as fast as you can and throw a 4 or 5 punch combination, again at top speed. Use short, mid and long range shots...don't restrict yourself! Recommence your stroll and repeat for a couple of rounds.
3. The Joy of Hand Weights
Set yourself up for 4 x 2 minute rounds of shadow boxing. In rounds 1 and 3, use 1 or 2 lb hand weights. Shadow box normally, ensuring that you mix in a good proportion of mid and long range hooks and uppercuts. During rounds 2 and 4, dispense with the hand weights and feel the instant increase in punch speed!
4. Speed Focused Gym Session
Do a full gym session that focuses solely on speed. Now, if you are a competing boxer, these sessions should be targeted during the final stages of your training cycle (unless you're experimenting in which case you should do it whenever.) If you are not competing, then they can be completed at any time.
- For shadow boxing, bag work and skipping, complete 6 x 1 minute rounds with just 15 second rest periods. Aim for maximum speed and multiple variations of punch combinations.
- When completing the groundwork (e.g. the classic 'ton-up' of 10 x 10 ground exercises), do so with a focus on maximum speed, with quality of exercise being secondary.
- Perform short sprints during running e.g. sprint from one street-light/lamp-post to the next, then jog to the next, then sprint etc. When you jog, do sol slowly and breathe deeply. When sprinting, do so at 100% effort!
5. Stay Chilled!
If you are tense, then you will not maximize your punch speed. A simple way to do this is to ensure that you do not clench your fist until the split second before the shot lands. Keep you shoulders loose and breath in a controlled manner.
Give these steps a go and before you know it those combinations will be delivered with extra 'snap'. Achieving success is about making small improvements in many areas, and this is true of improving punch speed.
Good Luck!

Field Fillers May Re-emerge in Sprint Cup
Many Nascar fans recall the years of the field fillers. In the early 2000’s, it was not uncommon for low-budget, fourth-tier teams to show up at the track hoping just to start the race and collect a paycheck before heading home. In 2004, the field filler era arrived at its peak, as the start and park routine became excessively recurrent. It seemed as if NASCAR was dead set on having a forty-three car field each and every race despite the fact that there were only 36 or 37 truly competitive teams.You may remember the names Andy Belmont, Andy Hillenburg, Hermie Sadler, Joe Ruttman, Carl Long, Stanton Barrett, Kirk Shelmerdine, and Morgan Shepherd. They were some of the so-called field fillers. It was not uncommon for those drivers to be several seconds off the pace in comparison to the leaders. At times, their dawdling pace frustrated the leaders.
At the time, some mid-level NASCAR teams did not realize how good they had it. There was only a diminutive chance that they could miss the race in qualifying. Eventually, the NASCAR field began to expand, and with the advent of Toyota as well as aspiring team owners, many new teams surfaced. By 2007, it became increasingly difficult for several mid-level teams, and even top notch teams to qualify for the show. It was common to have over fifty drivers and teams attempting to qualify. Drivers such as Jeremy Mayfield, Brian Vickers, Michael Waltrip, and even 1999 champion Dale Jarrett were occasionally forced to go home early. At times, it was rather chaotic. The field filler era was no more, and it was now the go or go home era.In 2008, the amount of qualifying entries began to tail off. Several teams began to cutback, while others folded completely. Chip Ganassi Racing was a prime example, as the 40 team closed up shop in July after eleven years on the track. The entry list was, for the most part, back in the forty-something instead of fifty-plus.
Following the 2008 season, the off-season was anything but, and it became merger-mania. Due to sponsorship woes, Dale Earnhardt Incorporated was set to close down at least two teams. Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates was faced with a similar quandary. Officials from both organizations began to discuss the prospect of a merger. Ultimately, the two teams became one, hence the name Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. Heading into the 2008 Sprint Cupcampaign, there were seven teams between the two organizations. Following the merger, there is likely to be only three teams from the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing camp competing on a full-time basis. Four teams from 2008 are no longer in existence.Gillett Evernham Motorsports was a three-car operation in 2008, while Petty Enterprises encompassed two teams. When the two entities merged into one, Richard Petty Motorsports, or RPM, it is now a three-car operation, with a fourth team competing on a part-time basis.
Hall of Fame Racing amalgamated its resources with Yates Racing, another fledgling Sprint Cup operation. They brought along the sponsor Ask.com as well as 2000 champion Bobby Labonte. While it has become a blessing for Doug Yates and Max Jones, it spelled disaster for David Gilliland and Travis Kvapil, the two drivers that carried the Yates Racing banner in 2008. Gilliland and the 38 team are no more, and Kvapil’s team will unlikely compete in the entire slate of races.Bill Davis Racing sold out and the 22 car is unlikely to attempt many races in 2009, if any at all.Due to the dwindling number of full-time entries at the Sprint Cup level, opportunity is there again for the smalltime teams. In fact, a couple of new teams will attempt the NASCAR schedule. Joe Nemechek, unable to land a Sprint Cup ride, will revive NEMCO Racing and attempt the full Sprint Cup schedule, as well as the Nationwide Series. Former crew chief Tommy Baldwin will begin his new venture as a car owner with Scott Riggs as the driver. Jeremy Mayfield is reportedly set to attempt the driver slash owner undertaking with the opening of Mayfield Motorsports. Other teams such as Phoenix Racing, one of the teams prominently known for starting and parking in 2004, will endeavor to compete in all 36 Sprint Cup events with an assortment of drivers and manufacturers.
They say that everything in NASCAR is cyclical. In a matter of five years, it appears as if the field filler era is returning to NASCAR Sprint Cup racing and the go or go home era is over, at least for now.

is marion jones' son guaranteed to be a fast runner when hes older?
Marion Jones (gold medallist at 100m olympics albeit a cheating one) had a baby boy with tim montgomery (also an olympic 100m gold medallist in the 4 x 100)
so my question is, assuming this boy doesnt e.g. have a car accident and get paralysed or receive a huge injury to his legs etc..
is he pretty much guaranteed to become an extremely fast runner? Even if he wasnt interested in athletics and didnt take it up as a sport would he still be well above average in the 100 metres?
Its just that i read the other day about marathons that they thought it would be interesting if a marathon runner & a marathon runner gave birth to a child.. would it end up as a world record holder
and yet... well, that has actually happened except in sprinting!! (marion jones' son..)
he'd have a better chance of being a sprinter than say a marathon runner in my opinion...but nothings guaranteed in life.
wouldnt that figure...15-20 years from now...the son of marion jones and tim montgomery becomes a top world class sprinter..but he still isnt able to escape the shame of both mom and dad.
