I haven’t done enough WRC videos lately, so I figured it was time for some Rally video again…
And if you wonder what it would be like on the inside… Ride along with Chris Atkinson in 2008 in the Rally Jordan.

Nobody drives sideways like a Rally Driver… so here are a few clips of WRC pros driving sideways.
But they aren’t one trick ponies… they fly, too.
I thought long and hard…

The Drag Racing world lost a hero yesterday. Scott Kalitta was killed while qualifying his car. The Kalitta family is well known and respected in the Drag Racing community.
Scott was 46 years old and is survived by his wife, Kathy, and sons Colin and Corey.
Kind of a downer for Video Sunday, but it is also a reminder that the folks that entertain us on Sundays put their lives on the line. And while it might be safer in the dragster or Cup car than on the flight to the track, or than it is for the fans driving to the event, it is no less tragic when something like this happens.
To the Kalitta family, just know that Scott has touched the lives of thousands.
Oil Bubble?

Not real estate related, except on the farthest periphery…
Could the price of oil be in a bubble right now? Of course, the industry experts are convinced that oil price escalation is different that real estate price escalation was… or internet stocks… or oil back in the 1970s… Of course, real estate was different than all of the other bubbles, as was the internet stock price increase.
I’m no industry expert, and there are a lot of people that study oil prices more than me… but if the run up in prices is because of speculation, then it will only take the right news to pop the bubble and introduce fear.
That could be the US figuring out that we could pull 5 million barrels a day from ANWR and the outer continental shelf and the new finds in ND and MT. If that were followed up by the President announcing that we WOULD be finding a way to extract oil from oil shale, and that some unused military bases would be converted to oil refineries… there would be fear about future price increases.
It would be fun to see some of the speculators get nailed with the shorts down…

No, not in a Tucker, but in Tucker, GA.
On the second Saturday most months there is a big cruise in Tucker, GA. The next cruise is on July 12th, but here are a few images from previous cruises.
Feel free to stop me if you run into me there.
