LSU-Alabama worth a second look
Nothing against the Granddaddy of Them All, or the Runners-Up Bowl (No. 3 Oklahoma State vs. No. 4 Stanford in the Tostitos Fiesta), or Tuesday night's Boise State-Got-Hosed Allstate Sugar Bowl, but they're football finger food, nothing else.
Same goes for Wednesday's Discover Orange Bowl (has West Virginia sold any tickets yet?), Friday's Bill Snyder Bowl (the Cotton), Saturday's BBVA Compass Bowl between SMU and Pitt (that's when one-and-done coach Todd Graham will text his former Panthers players from poolside in Tempe), and Sunday's GoDaddy.com Bowl, where Arkansas State and Northern Illinois will battle Danica Patrick for attention.
Be honest: If bowl season were like going to a movie, Monday evening's Allstate BCS National Championship Game would be the megahit "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" and the other 34 games would be the reminder to turn off your cell phones.
Only one game actually means anything anymore, and that's No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Alabama. The rest of it is fun. It's a great way to kill time between Dec. 17 and Jan. 8. It's confidence pool heaven.
But none of those other 34 bowls gives you a national title when you're done. You get trophies and watches, but you don't get a lasting legacy and national championship rings, do you?
Big-boy football commences Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Oklahoma State isn't going to like to hear that, but that's what happens when you get outvoted 2-1 in the BCS equation. The computers loved the Cowboys, but the coaches and the Harris poll voters didn't (Air Force's Troy Calhoun voted OSU fifth! Think the Cowboys were rooting for Toledo against the Zoomies in last week's Military Bowl?).

Anyway, it doesn't matter now. LSU and Bama are where they belong: in New Orleans, in a rematch and in the title game.
I wouldn't have said that the night of Nov. 5, after Bama lost at home to the top-ranked Tigers 9-6. But then undefeated Boise and Stanford were beaten the next week, followed six days later by an OSU upset at Iowa State.
So here we are, beginning the countdown to a rematch that has been both praised and ridiculed. The Crimson Tide obviously wanted another chance at No. 1 LSU. But here's the cool part: LSU wanted the rematch, too.
In the Tigers' minds, Bama is the second-best team in the country. Plus, they want to stick a very large purple-and-gold pompom in the mouth of every Crimson Tide player and fan who thinks LSU lucked out in the Nov. 5 win.
I can tell you what this game will be and what it won't be.
It won't be the Valero Alamo Bowl, where Baylor beat U-Dub 67-56 and the defenses were still down at the Riverwalk drinking margaritas. At one point, I thought ESPN analyst and former Ohio State All-America linebacker Chris Spielman was going to leave the booth and teach the Bears and Huskies how to form tackle.
I guarantee you that LSU-Bama won't be a 123-point game. Maybe not even 23.
It definitely won't be a rout, like Boise State's 56-24 win against Arizona State in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl. LSU gave up a combined 55 points in its last six games. Bama gave up a combined 57 in its last five games.
In other words, Spielman is going to love this one.
It won't be cute. There will be no stuffed animals on the sideline, like the toy monkey with the No. 63 jersey Northwestern's players brought to the Meineke Car Care Bowl. That's how many years it's been since NU won a bowl game.
Ooops, make it 64. The Wildcats lost to Texas A&M.
LSU-Bama won't feature the Heisman Trophy winner (Baylor's Robert Griffin III), the presumed No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL draft (Stanford's Andrew Luck) or the team with the No. 1 (so far) incoming recruiting class (that would be Texas).
And I absolutely promise you that Alabama isn't going to ditch its classic unis for some fashion-designer-gone-mad experiment.
No, this is going to be old-school football. This is going to be a game that people will watch even though they swore they wouldn't.
Remember the anti-rematch faction? Those folks won't be able to resist when kickoff arrives. The anti-SEC movement also will weaken when Brent and Kirk clear their throats.
Sure, there's no RG3 or NFL quarterback prospect for the ages, but there is the Home Depot Coach of the Year (The Mad Hatter himself, LSU's Les Miles), the Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year (LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis), the Jim Thorpe Award winner (LSU's Morris Claiborne), the Chuck Bednarik Award winner (LSU's Tyrann Mathieu), the Outland Trophy winner (Bama's Barrett Jones) and the Doak Walker Award winner (Bama's Trent Richardson). And by the way, the average ticket price on the secondary market is now north of $1,000 -- and climbing.
And who cares that LSU and Bama come not only from the same conference but from the same division? Also, since when can't rematches be compelling? The first game was a snore zone. This one could have an actual touchdown.
Monday's game is why they played all the other games in the regular season. It's why we micro-debated every facet of the BCS standings each week. It's why Bama's Nick Saban lobbied so hard to be here, and why LSU wanted the Tide here.
With semi-apologies to the other 68 postseason teams, you were the appetizers. The entree will soon be served. I can't wait to dig in.

Awesome article and very creative. One small problem. You said Chad Henne led the Jaguars to two wins, that's factually incorrect. Henne led them to a win over Tennessee, which has been his only start for Jacksonville to date. He may lead them to a couple of more wins. In his other game, in which he came in relief, the Jaguars put up an amazing fight and did better than 99 % of the nation thought they would do, but they fell short to the Texans in an exciting game.
Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 11/20/14
Last year was an impressive turn-around for Alex Smith. He was once looked at as a first round bust that no matter who the coach was, he was doomed to lead the 49er's to failure. Enter Jim Harbaugh, under his tutelage, Smith led the 49er's to a NFC West title, and one game away from a Superbowl.However, due to Smith's injury, back-up rookie Colin Kaepernick has gotten the start the last two games, and has proven he is a dynamic quarterback that gives the 49er's the ability to open their playbook. Kaepernick is 2-0 and has shown he has plenty of velocity and accuracy on his throws as well as, the ability to use his legs to to make plays. Making him a much more dynamic quarterback than Smith.Smith, (and this is not a knock) is considered a safe passer. He doesn't try to force throws or take chances down-field unless there's a sure thing. He is a nice quarterback to have granted he has an amazing offensive line (like the 49er's) and a complimentary runni...

Don Garlits inducted into British Drag Racing Hall of Fame
Photo courtesy Don Garlits.
If Don Garlits keeps going, he's going to run out of space to store all of his trophies and awards. The man who has seemingly done it all can add one more recognition to his long list of accolades: Don "Big Daddy" Garlits is now officially a member of the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame. This latest success is a boost to what can only be described as an up-and-down year for the man who is considered the greatest drag racer of all time.
The year started off poorly for Big Daddy when he lost his wife, Pat, of 61 years on February 2. Pat Garlits was known to be a staple at all of her husband's races, earning herself the title of the "first lady of drag racing." After that catastrophic beginning, however, Garlits's year has been on the upswing. On April 30, Garlits came out of retirement at the tender age of 82 to break the electric drag-racing record. Ever a pioneer and always on the cutting edge, Garlits covered the 1,000-foot distance of Bradenton Motorsports Park in 7.26 seconds at 184.01 MPH in his custom built Swamp Rat 37.
Now Big Daddy is also a member of the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame. An owner of countless records and titles in American drag racing, Garlits was also surprisingly influential on drag racing on the other side of the pond. In 1964, Garlits took part in the First British International Drag Festival, where he won The People's Challenge trophy by registering the best aggregate performance during the series of races across the United Kingdom. Big Daddy then returned to race in Britain twice in the 1970s: First he took part in the 10th anniversary races at Santa Pod in 1976 and then returned a year later to win the July Internationals. Don's successful visits to Britain were key in encouraging other American racers to compete in the U.K., spurring on the boom in British drag racing in the late 1970s.
As of today, Don Garlits is the first drag racer to officially surpass 170, 180, 200, 240, 250, and 270 MPH quarter miles; the winner of 10 AHRA championships, four IHRA championships, and three NHRA championships with a total of 144 national event victories; the innovator behind the modern Top-Fuel dragster design; the owner of the EV dragster record; and a member of the Automotive Hall of Fame, the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, and now the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame.
Along with Garlits, the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame recently inducted organizer and racer Gerry Belton, builder and driver Russ Carpenter, motorcycle racer Dennis Norman, and builder/racer John Whitmore. For more information, visit BritishDragRacingHOF.co.uk/
NHRA Museum revamps to tell hot rodding's story to new audiences with Gallery of Speed

Much like the pantheon of Greek gods, hot rodding history is full of characters both major and minor and their various deeds and exploits. And much like any Hellenistic temple, the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum offers a way for the hot rod faithful to pay their respects to the legends of hot rodding while those who never subscribed to the faith could often be put off by the museum's former approach. A recent remodel of the museum, however, aims to correct that with a new focus on the roots and evolution of hot rodding.
According to the museum's executive director, Larry Fisher, the museum's new Gallery of Speed, which opened this week, came about because museum officials wanted to refocus the museum's efforts on the museum's original theme while at the same time bring in new audiences. "A few years ago, we went through a strategic planning session, and we found that for enthusiasts already into hot rodding, we were doing great, but for people without that knowledge of hot rodding, they'd come in the door and ask 'Now what?'" Fisher said. "So we took the whole center section of the museum and gutted it."
Work on the remodel began about a year ago and only affected about 20 percent of the museum's 30,000 total square feet, but Fisher said it's the most extensive change the museum has seen since it opened in 1998.
The new Gallery of Speed focuses on four main areas – the origins of hot rodding, land-speed racing, the early days of the NHRA, and the influence of custom car design – using a combination of hand-painted murals, life-sized sculptures, interactive touchscreens, and cars like the McMullen roadster, Art Chrisman's famed No. 25 dragster, Chet Herbert's Beast III streamliner, and an unmodified and unrestored 1932 Ford three-window coupe nose-to-nose with a 1950s-era three-window coupe hot rod. According to a museum press release, visitors can also "customize their own hot rod, learn the 'language of hot rodding,' and listen to candid stories from NHRA Founder Wally Parks and other motorsports legends."
"We've changed exhibitions on a fairly regular basis in the past, but this is a dramatic change in not just what we have on display, but in the method of interpretation as well," Fisher said. "I think we have more interactive technology in the museum now than we've had in the whole history of the museum."
Fisher said that the total cost of the renovation came to about half a million dollars, largely because museum officials called in a lot of favors with its supporters. "We're fortunate to have folks who really believed in what we were doing, so we were able to do it for less than we'd expected."
While the Gallery of Speed is now open, Fisher said that the museum plans to dedicate it to "one of racing's legends" in November during the NHRA Finals at Pomona.

UPDATE (12.November 2014): The NHRA Museum is planning to dedicate the new exhibit November 15 with a Night of Champions that will honor Art Chrisman.
Racing Heroes – Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins

Bill Jenkins only won 13 NHRA national events as a driver, yet it would be difficult to name someone who had a more lasting influence on Super Stock and Pro Stock drag racing. The man who embraced the nickname of "Grumpy," given to him by a summer intern for his all-work-and-no-play attitude, was voted the eighth-best driver in the NHRA's Top 50 list, because in the organization's words, "no other individual has contributed more to the advancement of normally aspirated engines for quarter-mile competition."
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in December 1930, Jenkins got his start turning wrenches on a neighbor's tractor after the family had relocated to the more bucolic environment of Downingtown, Pennsylvania. By his high school years, Jenkins was running the occasional drag race at the local strip, but the sport was more pastime than passion. After graduating from high school, Jenkins attended college at Cornell University, where he studied mechanical engineering. By his own admission, Jenkins wasn't much of a student, and when his father died, Jenkins dropped out after completing three years of a four-year program.
Though Jenkins may have lacked an aptitude for taking tests, it was clear that he'd learned quite a bit during his time at Cornell. When the small-block Chevy V-8 debuted in 1955, it didn't take Jenkins long to realize that the engine had serious potential for drag racing, and by the early 1960s, he'd developed something of a cult following among East Coast racers, who knew that a Jenkins-built car and a Jenkins-built engine significantly increased one's odds of winning races.
Grumpy's Toy XI.
His talents weren't unnoticed by General Motors, either, and in 1963, Jenkins and partner Dave Strickler received the first factory lightweight Z-11 427-cu.in. Chevrolet Impala. Carrying the same Old Reliable nickname worn by the team's earlier Ammon Smith Auto Company-sponsored Chevrolets, the Jenkins-tuned Impala helped to deliver a victory in Little Eliminator at the 1963 Nationals. The team's relationship with GM likely would have resulted in more race wins for Chevrolet, but the 1963 corporate ban on motorsports ended what had promised to be a very bright future for all parties involved.
With GM out of the picture for 1964, Jenkins and Strickler turned to Dodge, delivering the brand a win at the 1964 National in the A/FX class. Jenkins backed this up with an S/SA win of his own at the 1965 Winternationals behind the wheel of the Black Arrow, a 1965 Dodge that marked Jenkins's transition from tuner to driver. When Jenkins approached Chrysler to put together a deal for the 1966 season, the two parties couldn't come to terms, so Jenkins returned to racing a Chevrolet (specifically, a Chevy II) for the 1966 season.
GM still wasn't sanctioning motorsports, so Jenkins funded much of the effort on his own, via whatever sponsorships he could arrange. The car was the first to carry the Grumpy's Toy moniker, and it wasn't long before Jenkins's efforts came to the attention of Chevrolet's Vince Piggins, then the head of Chevrolet's performance efforts. Racing was forbidden, but nothing in the corporate rulebook prohibited Piggens from assisting Jenkins financially in the name of "Product Promotions Engineering."
The Chevy II was a four-speed car, forcing Jenkins to turn his engineering skill to improving shifts and getting the power to the ground. As he explained in his NHRA Top 50 induction, "We applied a lot of slick-shift technology to the transmissions and made good use of the slapper bar style of traction device originally used by Stahl and Frank Sanders. By the end of the year, I could dump the clutch at 6,000 RPM when most of the other guys had to feather the throttle on the seven-inch tires that we were restricted to."
Such innovation became a hallmark of Jenkins-built cars and engines, and it was often said that he was happier winning races as a constructor and tuner than he was as a driver. By the late 1960s Jenkins was active on both fronts, fielding as many as four team cars while driving a car of his own (usually a Camaro), and heads-up match races against drivers like Ronnie Sox and Don Nicholson proved so popular with spectators that the NHRA created the Pro Stock category for the 1970 season. Out of the gate, Jenkins posted wins over Sox at the Winternationals and Gatornationals, but Chrysler quickly closed the performance gap and became the brand to beat in the quarter-mile.
When rule changes for the 1972 season allowed cars with small-block wedge engines to run at lower weights than before, Jenkins built his first Pro Stock Chevrolet Vega, which quickly proved the car to beat. By the end of the season, Jenkins had won six of eight NHRA national events. Factoring in race winnings and sponsorships, Jenkins grossed $250,000 in income that season, then rivaled in the sporting world only by basketball superstar Wilt Chamberlain. The feat was good enough to earn Jenkins coverage in Time magazine, and suddenly the sport of drag racing had gone mainstream.
Jenkins's 1974 car, another Vega, dubbed Grumpy's Toy XI, wouldn't enjoy the same success as his 1972 Vega, but would go on to have a far more lasting impression on the sport. Featuring Pro Stock innovations like a full tube chassis, a dry sump oiling system, rack and pinion steering and a MacPherson-strut front suspension that aided weight transfer to the rear tires, the Vega became the template for Pro Stock cars to follow.
Accepting that he gained greater satisfaction as a constructor than as a driver, Jenkins hung up his Nomex in 1976 to focus on research and development. He remained a team owner through the 1983 season, but then shifted his attention to his Jenkins Competition business full-time, where he and his crew built engines for motorsports ranging from drag racing through stock car racing. Even into his mid-70s, Jenkins was said to be active building engines, undoubtedly running younger employees ragged with his focus and determination to address every detail, no matter how small. Eventually, even Jenkins's tank ran dry, and he died of heart failure in March 2012 at the age of 81.
Four-Links – Serge and the Sno-Cats, first Kenyan car, L.A. crackdown, Friedman at the drags
* In the 1960s, Belgium used a couple Tucker Sno-Cats – emblazoned with logos designed by Tin Tin artist Hergé – to explore Antarctica. The Sno-Cats were relegated to a quiet abandonment up until recently, when some thief cut out just the logos from the sides of the Sno-Cat bodies, causing an uproar in the urban exploration community. PetaPixel has more on the story.

Don Prudhomme and Jim Nicoll to discuss famed 1970 U.S. Nationals matchup
Jim Nicoll's wrecked dragster slides down the track at the 1970 U.S. Nationals. Still image from video.
Finishes don't get any more dramatic than the 1970 NHRA U.S. Nationals, which saw Don "The Snake" Prudhomme beat Jim Nicoll by 0.03 seconds, followed by an explosion in Nicoll's car that caused Prudhomme to consider quitting on national television. Now, 44 years after Prudhomme's victory (which earned him his second Top Fuel title), The Snake and Jim "Superman" Nicoll will relive their 1970 U.S. National battle in a presentation to be given at this year's U.S. Nationals.
Nicoll beat Pruhomme off the line on that Monday afternoon in Indianapolis, and the two ran virtually side-by-side throughout the quarter mile. As Prudhomme crossed the line, running a 6.45 to Nicoll's 6.48, the clutch in Nicoll's car let go. The violent explosion tore the car in half, scattering parts across the track, and Prudhomme watched in disbelief as the engine and front wheels from his competitor's car slid past, decelerating from 225 MPH with only the friction between pavement and steel to slow it down.
Nicoll sensed that something was wrong with the clutch at the starting line, but the launch seemed normal and the first part of the run proved uneventful. Three-quarters of the way down the track, Nicoll felt his clutch begin to slip; preparing for the worst, he placed his hand on the parachute handle. Whether he deployed it prior to the clutch letting go is a moot point, as releasing the chute undoubtedly saved Nicoll's life by carrying him up and over the concrete barrier and into the soft grass beside the track.
Though the accident looked like a certain fatality, Nicoll escaped with a concussion and a severely bruised foot, and proved healthy enough to attend the season-ending banquet on the day after the race. Though the story is often told that Nicoll earned his "Superman" nickname in the crash, the truth is it came from NHRA vice president Steve Gibbs, who once witnessed the larger-than-life Texan take on three men in a bar fight and emerge victorious.
In the immediate aftermath of the race, before he learned that Nicoll's injuries were relatively minor, Prudhomme contemplated quitting the sport. Visibly shaken from the incident, his reaction was to be expected, and no one had the answer to his question of "How bad is he?" Later stating that, "Things are getting too tough, and I just don't know what's going to happen," Prudhomme soon had a change of heart, influenced, perhaps, by car owner Roland Leong, who told his driver, "If the shoe was on the opposite foot, you'd want him to keep racing."
And keep racing Don Prudhomme did, remaining in the driver's seat through the 1994 season before transitioning into the role of team owner. Jim Nicoll's career lasted until 1976, when the sponsorship needed to compete at the sport's highest levels became too difficult to find.
Their 1970 duel in Indianapolis serves as one of the most memorable events in the history of the U.S. Nationals and, along with five other key moments from the "Big Go," will serve as the basis for a between-race presentation in the track's Hot Rod Junction.
Other events to be recognized at the 60th running of the Indianapolis race include Don Garlits's shaving of his beard for breaking into the sixes during the 1967 U.S. Nationals, and Kenny Bernstein's 1983 double victory in the Big Bud Shootout and the U.S. Nationals.

Big Willie Robinson's "Duke and Duchess" Daytona rides again
The Duke and Duchess Daytona, now fully restored. Photos courtesy Corey Owens.
When auto restorer and Mopar specialist Corey Owens acquired the 1969 Dodge Daytona once owned by legendary street racer Big Willie Robinson, the car was a sun-bleached, rust-eaten shell of its former self. Now, roughly $30,000 in parts and 1,900 man-hours later, Robinson's Duke and Duchess Daytona has been restored to its former glory, a fitting tribute to the larger-than-life character that founded the International Brotherhood of Street Racers and once piloted the Daytona to quarter-mile glory.
Robinson was a well-known figure in the Southern California drag racing scene, and his time spent with the Special Forces in Vietnam gave him leadership qualities that would help preserve the peace during the racially-charged days of the late 1960s. Using racing as an avenue to vent frustration made sense to Robinson, and his efforts to take racing off the street and onto the track led to the creation of Brotherhood Raceway Park on Terminal Island in Long Beach, California. Robinson was a Mopar guy, and the car most closely associated with him was a red 1969 Dodge Daytona; his wife Tomiko, also a drag racer, ran a green 1969 Dodge Daytona.
Drag racing is notoriously hard on equipment, and one too many dips in the acid tank eventually weakened the body of Robinson's red Daytona. Tomiko's green Daytona was totaled in a racing accident, so at one point in his career, Robinson turned to a third Daytona car for his trips through the quarter mile. Said to have come from his brother, who could no longer afford the car, this Daytona had started life painted R4 Charger Red, but Robinson had it sprayed in a cream color before lettering it up as the Duke and Duchess Daytona, a nod to the respect he had for his wife. Its doors carried the lettering of Street Racers Inc., National and International Brotherhood, an organization that Robinson saw as transcending cultural barriers.
That's where the story gets a bit hazy. When Mopar collector Gary French purchased the car from Robinson, it was Big Willie himself who said the car had never been raced, but subsequent inspection revealed otherwise. Not only were the rear wheel wells radiused to allow the fitment of oversize drag slicks, but the floor pan above the pinion snubber had been punched upward and later reinforced with a 3/8-inch steel plate, proof positive of hard dragstrip launches. Some said that the Duke and Duchess car had been used as a tow vehicle, but there was no evidence of a hitch having ever been mounted to the car.
French eventually sold the car to entrepreneur and clothing designer Donwan Harrell, who intended to restore the car to its in-period, as-raced condition. Needing money to launch a new clothing line, Harrell sold the car to Owens, who posted it for sale on his website with an asking price of $250,000, a reflection of the car's historical significance, if not its worn condition. When he received no offers (though in fairness, his marketing attempts weren't all that serious), Owens was faced with the difficult decision of whether to preserve the car or restore it to as-raced condition. A teardown of the Daytona made the decision for him; preserving the car still meant replacing the sheetmetal surrounding the rear window, along with the dangerously thin fiberglass hood. The thin fiberglass rear deck lid would also need to be recreated, and as the project evolved, Owens realized that a restoration would be the best way to save the car for posterity.
Nine months later, in May 2014, the car was completed in time for its public debut at Midwest Mopars in the Park, held at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington, Minnesota. The color mismatch in the engine bay was deliberate because that's how Robinson had the car painted to save money. As a competition car, it only had to look good from a distance, and money spent painting the inner fenders and firewall was money that wasn't spent on making the car go faster. Aside from that period-correct detail, the rest of the car was as obsessively correct as Owens could make it, down to the gray primer and cosmoline used on the car's undercarriage. The seats and steering wheel were original to the car, though Owens preserved the skinny steering wheel and later-model seats installed in the car when he took possession. Even the car's 440-cu.in. Magnum V-8 and TorqueFlite transmission were original to the car, through Owens admits to dropping in a mild camshaft to boost performance during the engine's rebuild. He gave thought to leaving the car with an open exhaust, but doing so would have made the car essentially undriveable on the street, and Owens said he doesn't see the car as a trailer queen.
Critics will point out that the car is neither as delivered nor as raced, and Owens readily admits the car was restored as a "day two" race car. Restoring it to "as delivered," or "day one" form would erase much of the car's historical significance, while returning it to "as raced" form is virtually impossible. Only Big Willie Robinson knew what engine and transmission were in the car, and although Owens has had correspondence with a man who claims to own the car's original Keith Black Hemi V-8, there's virtually no way to prove the engine was the one installed in the car.
Owens plans to show the car at upcoming Mopar events, including The Mopar Nationals at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio, and the 45th Aero Warrior Reunion at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. He'd like to make it to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals as well, but Owens admits that's a lot of shows to attend and a lot of miles to travel. When asked if the car was again for sale, Owens was realistic; he'd rather not part with it, but 1,900 man hours and $30,000 worth of parts is a lot for a relatively small shop to absorb. While he's not actively pursuing the car's sale, if the right offer came along, the businessman in Owens would likely overrule the collector in Owens.
One likely buyer is Donwan Harrell, the car's former owner, who's already reached out to Owens in regards to repurchasing the car. An avid car guy with an affinity for Mopars, Harrell would certainly honor the car and the memory of the man that built it, perhaps easing the pain of a sale in Owens's mind.
Amped-up ponies – electric Mustang converters promise 750 hp in classic package
Photo by Steve Berry.
Traditionally, muscle car enthusiasts and electric vehicle enthusiasts rarely set up camp anywhere near one another. The Venn diagram between the two just doesn't have that much overlap. One set tends to search for outright horsepower, while the other yearns for environmentally responsible transportation. But a couple of hot rodders hope to bring both groups together under the same roof, starting with an electric Ford Mustang that they predict will run 10-second quarter miles.
"We want it to look like it came off the showroom, but still do 0 to 60 in three seconds," said John "Plasmaboy" Wayland, an EV evangelist who has done his part to spread the word about the performance potential of electric cars for the last 20 years with his White Zombie drag racer. Perhaps the best-known four-wheeled electric drag racer thanks to John's incessant tinkering with it, plenty of exposure on YouTube trouncing gas-powered cars, and his tireless campaigning with it both on and off the track, the White Zombie – a 1972 Datsun 1200 coupe that John has repowered with siamesed 9-inch electric motors fed by a bank of lithium-ion batteries good for 355 volts – has managed a best of 10.258 seconds at 123.79 MPH in the quarter mile with a 0-to-60 MPH time of 1.8 seconds.
And he can drive it both to and from the track. "Some racing electrics have gone quicker and faster than I have, but they're all track only," he said.
All the expertise and technology that John has developed with the White Zombie, he now intends to put to use first converting a 1968 Ford Mustang to electric power, and then building a business converting classic muscle cars into electric cars good for the street or the strip, with as much as three times the horsepower as stock.
For all of John's enthusiasm for electric vehicles, however, he admitted that the business idea wasn't his. Instead, it came about nine months ago from Mitch Medford, an Austin, Texas-based tech CEO and muscle car enthusiast with plenty of Texas can-do attitude and entrepreneurial chops who said he sees a market for electric muscle cars. "It's for the guy who might want to buy or already owns a Tesla but misses his big bad muscle car," Mitch said. "Through my business, I've met plenty of wealthy people through venture funds, and they often tell me that they'd like to have a classic muscle car, but something they can drive without getting messy. What typically breaks on old muscle cars isn't the suspension or brakes, it's the carbs and the fuel lines, which we're eliminating."
Mitch said that while researching his idea, he kept coming across John and the White Zombie, so he eventually reached out to John, who lives in Portland, Oregon, to share his idea. The two naturally hit it off, assembled a team – including fabricator Markco Mongillo, mechanic and restorer Allen Koester, and tech guy Jack Lapenta – and began working in earnest about six weeks ago to bring the idea to fruition. "What John's doing with electric cars reminds me of what Carroll Shelby did for Mustangs," Mitch said.

No surprise, then, that Mitch and John decided to base their prototype – a car they're calling the Black Zombie – on one of Ford's pony cars. Specifically, they chose a rust-free T-code 1968 Mustang fastback that Mitch found in Houston, since re-powered by a 289-cu.in. small-block. "The car was immaculate when we found it," Mitch said. "All my friends thought I was crazy for doing this to it." While the White Zombie uses dual 9-inch electric motors, a single Zilla controller, and a 22.7 kilowatt-hour Kokam battery pack, good for about 100 miles of range and 538 horsepower, John has re-engineered the Black Zombie to use dual 11-inch electric motors, dual Zilla controllers, a Gear Vendors overdrive unit, and a 40 kilowatt-hour Kokam battery pack, good for about 120 miles of range. He's calculated that the Black Zombie's drivetrain will produce about 750 horsepower and about 1,800 pound-feet of torque, add about 600 pounds to the car's total weight with the batteries installed, and endow it with the potential for 3-second 0-to-60 times in addition to the above-mentioned 10-second quarter-mile times.
To get that power to the ground, they'll use Street or Track-developed coilover shocks in the front and a Strange Ford nine-inch axle in the rear hanging from a Street or Track three-link system with Watts link, all set up for the shift in the car's weight balance. All four corners will run 13-inch brakes, and they're planning on fitting a rollbar for safety. They even plan to include air conditioning and power steering in the completed cars.

John said they chose that specific drivetrain as a compromise between performance and range, but could easily tip the scale in either direction. For instance, they've arranged to borrow a 1.5 megawatt battery pack from the electric dragster that Don "Big Daddy" Garlits has already used to set the EV quarter-mile world record and is currently using to try to become the first EV to top 200 MPH in the quarter mile. With that pack, which John and Mitch plan to use to power the Black Zombie on its debut Wednesday night at San Antonio Raceway, the Mustang should put down the equivalent of 1,500 horsepower.
"We know we're going to get tossed after one run, but the battery pack just fell in our laps, so we're going to try it anyway to see how fast we can go with it before we have to give it back," Mitch said.
After Wednesday night, Mitch said, they should be ready to start taking orders for converted muscle cars, selling them as the Zombie 222 under the business name Bloodshed Motors. "Right now we thought we'd start with Mustangs, keep them limited, and give them serial numbers; then later on we'll move to Camaros and maybe Challengers," he said, noting that he already has a pair of 1967 Mustangs – a fastback and a convertible – ready for conversion. "Initially, we'll supply the cars to convert, then later we'll convert cars that our customers supply. We don't want to start with rust buckets or reproduction bodies just because we don't want to spend the time fixing rust or piecing the car together."
Mitch estimated that if Bloodshed supplied the base car, a conversion would run anywhere from $200,000 to $250,000, depending on how much range the customer wanted. "If the customer brings in a car, we'll subtract from that price," he said. "We'd like to supply the cars, though, because we want to make sure we're starting with a good base of a car – preferably a six-cylinder or a small-block car, so we're not cutting up a big-block car or something rare."
Down the road, he envisions making the components for the EV conversion – including the motor mounts and rail system that the team has developed – available in kit form. "Our first goal is to build these awesome cars," he said. "But our second goal is to promote electric propulsion, and making a drop-in system available will help us meet that goal."

As for the White Zombie, the car that brought John and Mitch together, John is concurrently restoring it at Mitch's shop and should have it presentable in the near future. "I've been thinking of reintroducing it at a Wayland Invitational for just electric drag racers," he said.
If so, then maybe the White Zombie will get a fair fight for once.
UPDATE (17.June 2014): The Bloodshed Motors site is live now. Also, John and Mitch did take the Black Zombie to the track last Friday, where they got in a couple passes, including one wheels-up launch.
UPDATE (17.July 2014): The Indiegogo campaign for the Black Zombie has started, with a goal of raising $220,000 over the next two months.
UPDATE (15.August 2014): Over the weekend Medford took the Zombie back to the track and recorded a quarter-mile time of 12.1 seconds and a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. "Not bad for a 1/3 pack that is pretty worn out with some flaky cells," he said.
As seen in the staging lanes at Musclepalooza XIX
You can see a lot from the top of the timing tower at Lebanon Valley Dragway, especially if you were up there for Musclepalooza XIX this past Memorial Day weekend. Look one way, and you would have seen a sea of more than 600 show vehicles, muscle cars of every stripe; look the other way, and you'd have seen the staging lanes and the strip that launched more than 400 race cars over the course of the day.
Now, I love muscle, but I might love hot rods just a little bit more. Their wide variety of shapes and takes on building a car fascinates me; I appreciate the level of hands-on wrenching and personal creativity involved; and their history – stretching very nearly back to the advent of the automobile – I don't know, resonates with one of my past lives or something.
Anyway, from up on that timing tower, one car stood out to me in the staging lanes: Peter Dayotas's glossy black '35 Chevrolet four-door sedan with its chrome lake pipes angling out from the block, fat tires at the rear. Before introducing myself to Peter, I surreptitiously scoped out his car to see if it was as good up close as it was from afar, snapping a few shots along the way. Though I wish things weren't quite so tight down in those staging lanes – but hey, it's a race, not a photo shoot – I managed to get this picture of Peter bleeding the air out of his tires in preparation for his run. How many times has Peter stooped down at he tire of his rod and done this?
Apparently, a lot because when I met him he told me he'd been racing for "25 – no, 30… Make that close to 40 years." When you've been at it for that long, the years – the races and faces – blur together a little. He does seem to know a lot of people, and I enjoyed watching guys walk up to him and shake his hand. They'd ask how things have been, sometimes introduce him to a budding enthusiast they brought along with them to the track, clap Peter on the back and wish him good luck. Then he'd return to walking around his drive, inspecting it for its imminent run down the lane of asphalt and rubber.
And what a drive it is! Equipped with a 383 stroker with aluminum heads, sourced from a 2002 Chevy Tahoe; Powerglide and an 8-3/4-inch Chrysler rear, it dynoed at 500 horsepower and turns 11.40s at 116-118 MPH. With the exception of applying the single-stage, European black paint, Peter did all the work himself at his house in Northborough, Massachusetts, including hand forming the capacious rear fenders. Where did he find this beauty? Well, that may just be the best part. Peter grins: "I dragged it out of a swamp!"
Quad-engine Mustang Mach IV leads Mustang exhibit at Petersen Museum
Gary Weckesser's Mustang Mach IV. Photos courtesy Petersen Museum.
When it comes to horsepower, is there ever such a thing as too much? When Gary Weckesser was building an exhibition funny car in 1969, he likely asked himself that same question, arriving at an answer of "no." Not content to power his tube-frame, fiberglass-bodied Mustang with a single 351-cu.in. Windsor V-8, Weckesser opted to stuff four of them in front of the windshield, creating the appropriately named, four-wheel drive Mustang Mach IV. In honor of the Mustang's 50th anniversary, this car highlights a new Petersen Museum exhibit entitled Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend.
In fairness, Weckesser wasn't the first chef to test this particular recipe for speed. In 1961, "TV" Tommy Ivo created a dragster powered by four Buick nailhead V-8s, following his success with a twin engine dragster campaigned in 1960. Showboat, as Ivo's four-engine dragster was known, powered the rear differential via the right side engines (mounted in a conventional orientation) and powered the front differential via reverse-mounted engines on the left side. Later, under Tom McCourry's ownership, Showboat would wear a Buick station wagon body, running exhibition races as the WagonMaster. Mickey Thompson also famously experimented with a four-engine setup in his Challenger I land-speed racing streamliner, as did Jim Lytle in his Quad Al.
Four Windsor V-8s are better than one.
There's no doubt that Ivo's Showboat served as an inspiration for Weckesser's Mustang Mach IV. Rather than following Ivo's exact formula, however, Weckesser oriented all four fuel-injected Windsor V-8s in a conventional manner, sending power to the rear and front differentials through a single transmission and single (particularly stout) clutch. Output was said to be in the range of 3,000 horsepower, and the car's documentation states that the Mach IV was capable of running E.T.s in the eight-second range, at a trap speed of just over 180 MPH, but at least one pass reportedly topped the 200 MPH mark back in the day.
The Mach IV apparently ran against the Showboat at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, and later ran against the WagonMaster (driven by Tom McCourry) at California's Fremont Dragway. Active on the show and exhibition drag circuit from 1969 through 1975 (sponsored, in part, by Galpin Ford), Weckesser began spending less time behind the wheel as his family obligations evolved and as sponsorship became harder and harder to arrange in the fuel-conscious mid-seventies. By the early 1980s, the Mach IV was in storage in Weckesser's garage, temporarily sidelined by the demands of his career as an over-the-road trucker.
Given the growth in popularity of nostalgia drag racing, it was only a matter of time before the Mach IV came out of retirement. Restored in time for the 2013 SEMA show, Weckesser's Mach IV is now in Galpin Auto's collection.
1967 Malco Gasser Mustang.
Other Mustangs on display at the Petersen Museum's exhibit include the 1967 Malco Gasser Mustang, the first gasoline-powered car to run the quarter-mile in the eights; a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible used by Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for governor of California; the George Barris-designed Zebra Mustang, as driven by Nanacy Sinatra in the 1965 film Marriage on the Rocks; a 1971 Ford Mustang fastback, nicknamed Eleanor, as driven in the 1974 version of Gone in 60 Seconds; a 1991 Ford Mustang LX convertible, owned by director Francis Ford Coppola; and a 2008 Ford Mustang FR500-C Bonneville racer driven by Mickey Thompson's son Danny to a recorded pass over 252 MPH, making it the world's fastest production-based Mustang. In addition to these cars, Mustangs of all generations are represented in the Petersen's exhibit, which is meant to appeal to fans of all Mustang variants.
Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend is scheduled to run through October. For more information, visit Petersen.org.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Ford Fairlane 500
It would be interesting to know the history of this 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 for sale on Hemmings.com. Whoever originally bought it – complete with R-code dual-quad 425-hp 427, four on the floor, bench seat, and little else – obviously had racing on the mind, but the seller indicates that it has remained in that configuration since new and presumably never relegated to track-only duty. So was it a midnight street racer? An occasional track terror? Or just a fast daily driver? We do know that it sports an incredible restoration nowadays, but hopefully that won't keep it from lining up for more side-by-side throwdowns in the future. From the seller's description:
The fact that most of the original fifty-seven 427 Fairlanes were modified to one extent or another for racing makes this one a rare piece indeed. Carefully restored with NOS parts that would likely be impossible to find today, this White 427 Fairlane is still in as-original condition and presents a first-rate opportunity for collectors.
Highlights: One of 57 1966 Ford Fairlane 427 lightweights – Only 4-5 Cars are known to exist in this condition today. Only one of the 57 was delivered to Arizona. This is that car. As delivered condition after careful restoration. Ultra rare exhaust system. Correct 427-8V side oiler engine with medium riser heads. Correct Lightweight lift-off ram air hood. Correct "SPEC" market 9 inch nodular rear end. Extensive documentation (including build sheet)
Status: No Longer Available

GloriaLine breaks: Gloria
Pronunciation: /ˈɡlɔːrɪə /
Definition of Gloria in English:
1A Christian liturgical hymn or formula beginning (in the Latin text) with Gloria, in particular:
Example sentences
- Sometimes the entire congregation sang the Gloria, sometimes a choir or soloists.
- They sang the Gloria in Excelsis antiphonally, dividing the lines between high and low voices.
- Thus, the reader should say the antiphon, followed by the canticle, then the Gloria Patri, and then the antiphon again.
1.1The hymn beginning Gloria in excelsis Deo (Glory be to God in the highest), forming a set part of the Mass.
Example sentences
- At midnight mass we blasted out the Kyries, Glorias and Sanctus', sometimes in three-part harmony.
- All four have six sections: they open with a choral Kyrie and continue with a Gloria in which three solo arias are framed by two choruses with full choir and instrumental complement.
- When the Ministers have said the Gloria at the altar, they go to sit in the sanctuary until the choir has finished singing.
1.2The doxology beginning Gloria Patris (Glory be to the Father), used after psalms and in formal prayer (e.g. in the rosary).
Example sentences
- If it is to be said, the Gloria</en> now follows: Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth.
- In fact, after the priest silently said the Gloria or Credo he would sit down until the music was finished.
Latin, 'glory'.

Four Full-Time DSTL PhD Studentships
North West Doctoral Training Centre DSTL Studentships (Lancaster / Liverpool)
Closing date for applications: 20 July 2012
Applications are invited for four fully-funded DSTL PhD studentships to study behavioural aspects of Internet security. The studentships are available for three years from 1 October 2012, and will be based at Lancaster University and the University of Liverpool. The four available studentships are:
PhD-1: Language correlates of group trust and its relationship to group effectiveness
Based in the Institute of Psychology, Health and Society at Liverpool University, and supervised by Dr. Stacey Conchie (Liverpool) and Dr. Paul Taylor (Lancaster), you will identify reliable language markers of trust among online group members, identify how dimensions of trust, as measured by language, change across established phases of group development, and identify the resilience of group development to external factors.
PhD-2: Weak signals as predictors and influencers of collective action in social media
Based in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, and supervised by Prof. Awais Rashid (Computing) and Dr. Paul Taylor (Psychology), you will develop a new technique for detecting weak signals (i.e., emerging trends that initially appear at the fringes of online group rhetoric but quickly and unexpectedly lead to action) in large-scale datasets from online social networks. You will have a background or strong interest in computational approaches to text analysis, natural language processing or information retrieval techniques and a willingness to work across disciplines.
PhD-3: The hijacking of trust: Assessing plausibility and risk in cyberspace
Based in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University, and supervised by Dr. John Towse, Dr. Nick Race (Computing), and Dr. Kim Kaivanto (Economics), you will investigate the cognitive processes that influence on-line decision-making. In particular, you will assess how trust can be hijacked on-line (e.g., phishing exercises) and identify whether there are behavioural indices that can predict susceptibility to risky on-line behaviour.
PhD-4: Moving from anomaly detection to anomaly handling: How expert investigators interpret meaning from patterns in heterogeneous data
Based in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University and supervised by Prof. Tom Ormerod, you will use empirical and computational methods to study human expertise in anomaly detection and handling, comparing the knowledge and strategies used by experienced and inexperienced personnel working in forensic (e.g., fraud; human trafficking) and medical (e.g., nurse practitioner) domains to discover and resolve anomalies in small- and large-scale datasets indicative of undesirable activity.
The successful applicants will be part of the ESRC North West Doctoral Training Centre and active members of Security-Lancaster, a multidisciplinary research centre that has an active postgraduate and postdoctoral community, and an expanding programme of commercial partner engagement (see www.security-centre.lancs.ac.uk).
You should be motivated, ambitious, and able to demonstrate an interest in the PhD area for which you are applying. You should hold, or expect to gain, a First class or Upper 2.1 honours degree, or its equivalent in a relevant discipline. Having or expecting to gain a Masters qualification with RCUK recognised research training will be an advantage.
These studentships are open to UK/EU nationals and will cover tuition fee and an RCUK equivalent maintenance allowance. All students will receive their own generous research support budgets (e.g., for training, conference travel, and to pay participants) and an associated travel budget, which can be used to attend national and international conferences.
Further details on each studentship are available from www.security-centre.lancs.ac.uk/studentships/. To apply, please email a CV, transcript of marks, 2 academic references, and a 750 word statement of interest to: firstname.lastname@example.com. In your statement of interest please indicate the studentship for which you are applying and provide an explanation for why you wish to do a PhD in that particular area.
Informal enquiries are welcome, and should be addressed to Dr. Daniel Prince (email: email@example.com; Tel: 01524 510432) in the first instance.

Rate Dr. Amal K. Guha
Dr. Amal K. Guha's Ratings
Worst doctor I have been to. I go in for my appointment at 9:15 and don't get seen til almost 11:00. Then you try to talk to him and he just keeps looking at his watch. I asked him about my ultrasound he said yes I was getting one he sat the papers with the front desk where she told me I was not getting one that day because they have to send it in to the insurance for an authorization to get it done. Shouldn't they have done that before I came in to see him. I'm ready to look for a new doctor.

Overall I Love Dr Guha and his staff, been with him since 2005 all my pregnancies was with him. I feel like family when I'm there. He got my recommendation to anyone!

Great doctor. He will spend as much time as you need.

Dr. Guha is a wonderful doctor, very helpful and professional. I am having my second child with him and I feel very comfortable with him. I do not care for his nurse practitioner, however, who is very rude and doesn't listen to the patients very well--A know-it-all if you will. She is not the doctor as she would like to think, however, and Dr. Guha listens to his patients and is very patient. I never waited longer than 30 minutes to see him, and 30 minutes was on a bad day. Normally, I was in and out within a half an hour. GREAT service, great doctor, good experience overall.

Nice man, but when I was hospitalized, he almost did a surgical procedure while I was on heavy doses of blood thinners. Thank GOD the anesthesiologist caught it before Guha proceded with the surgery!!! Also noticed on my medical records that he won't claim any fault in making changes to medicine that HE prescribed, and never verified results of a procedure HE did to me prior to my hospitalization. I don't trust him, though he is a very kind and gentle man.

Pregnancy care and delivery. Quiet mannered physician who is very respectful of patients. Good Listener. I trust Dr. Guha and recommend his services although I did change to another OB/GYN because of his office staff problems at the time (1988).

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Sen. Bill Nelson and a handful of other lawmakers are asking the Department of Labor, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service and the State Department to speed up the processing of agricultural visas so crops aren't left to rot.
In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry and other federal officials Friday, Nelson and nine other senators said the recent government shutdown slowed the processing of visa petitions for foreign agricultural workers.
The senators add that they've heard from growers that delays could prevent them from getting the needed workers during harvest season, which could result in economic harm and crop losses.
The voluntary H-2A program allows employers to hire and bring foreign workers to the U.S. for seasonal work when there's a shortage of domestic employees.
