Last helmet I bought I almost got one with a blower.
Wish I had gone ahead and got it.

Sprint cars now have front tethers.
If they do, and I'm not disputing that, then they aren't keeping the wheels with the machine. Saw several pictures of sprint car wrecks last night where the car was airborne missing one or both front tires. One was a picture from Knoxville.

A lot of guys need to learn how to tighten their seat belt harness. If they can shrug the belts off of their shoulders without releasing the latch, they aren't tight enough. Tightening the belts so you move with the tractor won't solve the problem, but it will help.

The input shaft on a flipped F 30 is maybe 24" off the ground. You flip the final drives over and everything else stays the same, all the transmission gears are still there. The differential is not flipped. Makes for a really low center of gravity.
My brother runs a flipped F 20 as a classic modified.
I got to see that tractor run a couple of times.

Those strawberry milkshakes are the best! My sons and I get one every session.
The pits are great. Know when to recognize guys are busy. If not, I have yet to find someone who is not willing to talk to either a seasoned fan, or the most ignorant newbie.

Don’t you know food comes from the grocery store?
They plan to do what some of the European countries have tried- limiting fertilizer usage, restricting livestock production, making us go close to organic. Of course, “they”, the elites, will still be able to get their steaks and fresh fruit and vegetables, while the rest of us are supposed to eat bugs while they fly around in their private jet

Find somewhere that does race car wraps. Most will have someone who can do the art on a computer and make the vinyl for you. A good sign shop could probably do it as well.

Maybe because the rules say otherwise? This isn't for a tachometer that you can read, it is for the box on the sled that is set up for a specific sensor.

In Illinois a couple of years ago, a law was passed requiring schools to teach transgender history in the schools, so I would say to a certain extent the state can set the curriculum. At least here they can.

Saw a post on Facebook that he broke his left arm when it hit the cage, they put plates and screws in it.
Also, don’t know whose shop they took it to, probably Simon’s, and they had they engines remounted already.

There will still be exceptions made for certain groups to get favorable treatment. Too many democrats will never go for it, and plenty of republicans don't want it, either.

The local "non-profit" hospital seems to build another $20M expansion every 5-7 years. They keep their non-profit status by overbilling for Medicare and Medicaid, then writing off the percentage they don't get reimbursed as charity. Common scam run by all the non-profit hospitals.

Sorry if I don't believe the hype that HC is getting squeezed. The only thing they seem to be struggling with is finding land to put new facilities. Sorry, not buying the HC hard luck story.
Pretty sure I said HC spending was up but profitability was down....But you don't have to believe me just look at the number of HC companies laying people off left an

The cost of college went through the roof when the federal government took over the student loan programs. Schools knew they were going to get their money, so they spent like drunken sailors and raised the price. New buildings, pay raises for everybody, nothing was deemed unreasonable when it came to spending.

It resides about 15 miles from my house now. Hook it numerous times every year. Hooked it a few times back in the day when it still had the 6 pack on it. Helped replace a transmission in it once so we could finish a pull at about 3 in the morning with 4 people left in the stands.

My son was on the ASABE team at Illinois. The last tractor he helped with had 5-16hp Vangard engines, a custom transmission that I think Tim Engler was involved in building and a Winters quick change rear axle. Used belts similar to blower belts to attach engines to a common shaft drive. The team won the pulling portion of the competition easily and the overall competition. One of the team member
