TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Truckee Crossroads shopping center (Save Mart, CVS, Porters, U.S. Post Office) is undergoing an extensive renovation of its parking lot, sidewalks, curbs and walkways in anticipation of the new O'Reilly Auto Parts store, slated to open there in early 2013.The new 7,000 square-foot automotive super-store was recruited by local commercial real estate broker James T. Macdonell of Main Street Commercial Real Estate after almost two years of discussions and negotiations. The store will be located adjacent to Porters Tahoe Sports. To create space large enough to accommodate the new business, Subway and H & R Block are being relocated to other open spaces."After studying the amount of local dollars spent on auto related purchases I contacted O'Reilly's corporate office two years ago about opening a store in Truckee. After studying their internal customers' zip code and purchase data, they agreed that a substantial number of Tahoe Truckee residents and business owners were driving to their stores in Reno or Carson to shop," said Macdonell."The store will create more than 40 new local jobs and will retain automotive purchases, sales tax and dollars in the local Truckee-Tahoe economy," said Macdonell, who represents several area shopping centers. O'Reilly Automotive, with more than 6,800 stores nationwide, is one of the largest specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment, and accessories in the United States, serving both professional service providers and do-it-yourself customers.Macdonell represents local business owners searching for commercial facilities, seeking to reduce rental costs or relocate their business operations.

I find it funny that some atheists celebrate Christmas. They have a radical view that consists of the absence of God, yet they make exceptions for themselves by enjoying a what is widely known as a Christian-originated holiday. Regardless of the origin of Christmas, I think atheists would seem misplaced and confused around this time. Then again, Christmas has become so over saturated and commercialized that it is associated with Santa Claus and elfs rather the Jesus himself. In the end, Christmas is just a good reason to celebrate with family and display generosity by giving out gifts.Not that hard to understand bruh, there are really only 3 reasons.
1. Believe it or not, atheists do enjoy receiving presents.
2. I don't know if you can wrap your head around this one, but atheists also like turkey and all that good shit.
3. And, regardless of religion (or the lack thereof), most people enjoy spending time with their family.
A holiday is only what you make it. Jesus' name is not mentioned or thought about once during our dinner or throughout the day. And that's our preference. I don't give a fuck if you have some sort of shrine and you worship it for hours, that's you.
edit: Personally, and from a realistic and unbiased standpoint, I don't understand how anyone can still believe the nonsense that the bible is spewing. It was written about 2,000~ years ago by men who probably had what would now be equal to a 2nd or 3rd grade education. I guess if you're still a believer, it's more so about faith rather than actually believing. At least I would hope so.

Anyone got multi monitor to properly work with this on Ubuntu 12.04?
Phoronix: AMD Catalyst 12.4 Linux Graphics Driver Released
Yesterday while the Phoronix server infrastructure was being hammered by the exclusive Valve Linux work, AMD released their Catalyst 12.4 Linux driver...
Anyone got multi monitor to properly work with this on Ubuntu 12.04?
kernel and xserver support please.
has anybody tried catalyst 12.4 + hd4xxx series? (on precise)
12.3 didn't work for me
anyone tried the driver on 59xx?
i'm glad they're fixing a lot of issues, however, i personally don't take advantage of anything they've covered. i'd really like it if they got it to work with the latest xserver, i'm tired of telling yaourt to ignore packages.
And still no working sleep mode... Nice...

2013 Drag Week - World's Fastest Street Cars
Written by David Freiburger on November 1, 2013 HOT ROD Drag Week 2013 Was a Motorsports Milestone, Just Ask UsPresented by Gear Vendors Under/Overdrive
Co-Sponsored by Pep Boys Speed Shop
How's this for perspective? In the final round of the 1967 NHRA Nationals, a very shaggy Don Garlits idled at the starting line in his front-engine Top Fuel dragster. Earlier in the year he had pledged to stop shaving until he made his first 6-second pass, and rumor has it that Wally Parks wasn't happy that one of the sport's figureheads was looking like a beatnik. Other Top Fuel drivers had been in the 6s earlier, notably Don Johnson, Don Prudhomme, and nine other drag racers at the Nationals—not all of them named Don. We checked. Garlits had made it all the way to the final round and still his 6-second pass eluded him. For the last race of the event, he lined up against James Warren, staged, and smoked the tires to a 6.77, beating Warren's 6.95 and earning himself a shave in victory lane.
On the first day of HOT ROD Drag Week™ 2013, Tom Bailey ran a 6.72, then drove his Unlimited-class car 250 miles, and ran a 6.70 at a different track the following day. In fact, Bailey and his engine builder Steve Morris ran 6-second passes on five consecutive days in brutal Midwest humidity, racking up more than 1,000 miles along the way. A road-legal, license-plate-wearing, pothole-eating, 70-mph-cruising street car in 2013 would have put Don Garlits' 1967 blown nitromethane dragster on the trailer. Holy &*#$! Bailey scored the first all-6-second Drag Week™ in the event's 9-year history, and the only 6-second average over five days. Drag Week™ announcer and quarter-mile historian Brian Lohnes pointed out that Bailey's feat is likely the first time ever that a gasoline-burner has run 6s at five different tracks in five days. Driving 1,000-plus miles and running 6s at well more than 200 mph in the quarter is an unmatched feat in motorsports.
But what's a victory without a good drama? One day before Drag Week™ 2013 started, Unlimited racer Dave Ahokas made a test run at the Holley LS Fest at Beech Bend Raceway and posted a 6.87 at 200 mph, the quickest known public e.t. from any Drag Week™ competitor. Then, on Day 1 of the HOT ROD race, Ahokas ran 6.83. Moments later, Tom Bailey posted a 6.72. The Internet exploded with sniveling. Why? Neither car was born in Detroit: they are both composite-bodied. Ahokas' '68 Camaro is a full-on, Jerry Bickel-chassis Pro Mod car. Bailey's '69 is more subtle looking but no less serious; it's the car formerly known as Project Sick Seconds when it was under the ownership of Denny Terzich. Both of these cars have competed in Drag Week™ previously but never finished. No one seemed to notice. Until now.
What everyone noticed, however, is that five-time-in-a-row Drag Week™ winner Larry Larson did not show up at the '13 event with his legendary, all-steel-bodied '66 Chevy II that was the first Drag Week™ car in the 6s. Larry's been vocal about his distaste for the composite-bodied cars in the Unlimited class, and many fans have jumped on that bandwagon, screaming that the Bailey and Ahokas entries aren't real street cars—even if they are registered and insured and can complete the 1,000-mile Drag Week™ road trip—because they were not born on an assembly line. The relevance of that lineage falls into two categories: romantic and mechanical. On the emotional side, fans clearly prefer the stock-bodied cars like Larry's because they look like a regular hot rodded car. They are production cars turned into race cars, not race cars turned into street cars.
In the practical world, that's a very fine distinction. The chassis under Larry's production steel Nova, and the one under Jeff Lutz's famous steel '57 Chevy that runner-upped last year and dropped out early this year, is essentially the same as what's in the Pro Mod-looking composite cars. It has to be to pass tech. The real difference is just the choice of body draped over the full-tube chassis. Of course, the composite-bodied cars offer a tremendous weight advantage—with Ahokas' car nearly 700 pounds lighter than Larry's and Bailey's 300 pounds less. The Pro Mod–like cars also offer the potential for vastly improved aerodynamics and a stable, stretched wheelbase. Of course, that's also what makes 'em look bogus to many fans.
The Pro Mod haters claim that Drag Week's Unlimited class can be saved with a simple rule: the cars must be born with an OE manufacturer's VIN number. That alone would be close to moot if the rules didn't also limit wheelbase and body profiles to stock specs. Without other restrictions like weight minimums (a gutted, OE-VIN'd, steel-bodied, tube-chassis Fox-body could be as light as a Pro Mod), all it would accomplish is making the cars look "right." It seems a petty distinction, but it's important because 20 years of organizing street-legal drag events has shown us repeatedly that fans lose interest when the cars stop looking like regular muscle cars.
In the meantime, we promised that the rules would remain unchanged in most of the classes for three years starting in 2012, so next year's Unlimited cars will remain unlimited (as it has been for 9 years; despite what you may read online, the Unlimited rules have never changed). We plan to release 2015 rules asap, but we're still on the fence as to any changes. The question comes to this: should HOT ROD limit the Unlimited class, or let it go wild and keep the Drag Week™ road trip as the final judge of what is and isn't a street car? Email opinions to email@example.com.
Regardless, never forget that Drag Week™ has another 14 classes loaded with inarguably legit, real-steel, haul-ass street cars. It's insane that Mike Roy's oversized '71 Monte Carlo ran as quick as 7.83 this year to win Pro Street, chased by Dave Henninger's '71 Camaro that went 7.80 on Day 1. In 2013, Todd Maschmeier's '68 Camaro in Modified Power Adder became the first small-tire car to average in the 7s, running 7.72 twice and taking the third quickest overall spot at Drag Week™. That 7.89 is 0.09 away from having been able to win the first four Drag Week™ events. Rick Prospero's 4,000-pound '65 Nova wagon also continues to impress, running its quickest-ever 7.91 and averaging 7.98. All these guys are Drag Week™ superstars. Looking back at the progression of street-legal racing over the past couple decades, we realize how amazing it is that we're disappointed when Prospero's car runs an 8.10 instead of a 7.90. Those are the times we're in. Regardless of the side you pick on the Unlimited debate, Drag Week™ is thick with greatness.
For this year's print coverage of Drag Week™, we offer two stories: here, a rundown of the winners' antics throughout the week. This time we've arranged them in order from the quickest class winner to the slowest (notice that, on average, the big-blocks are slower than the small-blocks). Next month, come back for a look behind the scenes at the road-trip adventure that you will never believe until you experience it firsthand.
Get far more photos and info at HOTROD.com/DragWeek, and stay tuned there for announcements about next year's locations and registration info, and potential changes to the rules for 2015.
Class Rules at a Glance
Unlimited: NHRA safety rules, nothing else.
Pro Street: Back-half chassis with tires wider than 111⁄4 inches, stock front framerails.
Modified: Non-stock rear suspension, tires narrower than 111⁄4 inches or 325-series radials, stock front framerails.
Super Street: Stock-concept, bolt-on-style rear suspension, tires narrower than 111⁄4 inches or 325-series radials, stock front framerails.
Street Race: All stock suspension and frame, tires narrower than 111⁄4 inches or 325-series radials, numerous restrictions to ensure these are strictly muscle cars with bolt-on speed equipment.
Daily Driver: No equipment rules, limited to 10.80 minimum e.t.
Power Adder classes must use nitrous oxide, superchargers, or turbochargers. Naturally Aspirated classes may have none of those. Small-Block classes are 430 ci and less, Big-Block classes are 431 ci and more (or a Mopar Hemi, big-block Chevy, big-block Ford, or Ford FE of any displacement).
How Drag Week Works
Drag Week™ separates bold claims from the harsh truth to prove, every year, who has the Fastest Street Car in America. Actually, the world. Yes, we said world. Drag Week™ is open to anyone who registers and passes tech inspection, no matter where they're from or what they drive. Make it to the top of the podium and, since we don't know of any other event like this anywhere else, you'll lay claim to having the fastest street car anywhere. Not just street-legal, but street-proven.
Here's how we do that: Drag Week™ entrants are required to race five times at four different dragstrips over five days, driving their competition cars on public roads from track to track on HOT ROD's specified route. The race cars cannot be trailered, though they can tow a small trailer loaded with equipment. No support vehicles of any kind are allowed. In each class, the winner is the car with the lowest average e.t. over five days. The exception is Daily Driver, a class that's limited to a minimum e.t. of 10.80. In Daily Driver, the cars run all week to score an average e.t. that places them on a 32-car ladder for a bracket race on the final day of Drag Week™.
This year's schedule took us 1,080 miles:
Day 1: Beech Bend Raceway, Bowling Green, Kentucky
Day 2: Lucas Oil Raceway, Indianapolis, Indiana
Day 3: Gateway Motorsports Park, Collinsville, Illinois
Day 4: Memphis International Raceway, Millington, Tennessee

Unlimited // Winning Average: 6.83 seconds at 213 mph
Tom Bailey // 1969 Chevy Camaro
Hot Rod's Fastest Street Car In America 2013
Tom Bailey and engine builder Steve Morris (SteveMorrisEngines.com) have a lot to be proud of. They wanted to run a 6-second pass on every day of Drag Week™, whether or not that made their car the winner. "If anyone else did that and they did it quicker, so be it," Tom told us, but so far they're the first and only ones to do so, making Drag Week™ and street-car history. Entering Drag Week™ 2013, the best time recorded in the car was a 6.94-second pass at 208 mph, although Bailey and Morris were unsure if the car would even be able to make a successful pass until Monday morning at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The car had thrashed a cylinder head during testing when a rocker stand bolt broke a week before the event. Steve fabricated a new rocker stand, changed rocker arms, and got everything put back together. When they tried out the new valvetrain, the engine wouldn't rev; the torque converter seemed too tight. Bryant Goldstone's Javelin, which was built to run in the Unlimited class, had blown its engine, so Bryant lent them his ProTorque torque converter. After they'd swapped converters, Steve tore apart the old one and it looked fine, so they weren't sure they'd found the problem. While they were hoping to make a pass on Sunday, rain wiped out our pre-event test session.
When Day 1 of Drag Week™ rolled around, there were still a lot of questions. Dave Ahokas set the bar with a Drag Week™ record run of 6.83, but Bailey answered almost immediately with a 6.72-second pass at 214 mph, claiming both the quickest time and fastest speed ever witnessed on Drag Week™.
"It's a battle. It's you and the car." — Tom Bailey
In an interview on Monday, a jovial Dave Ahokas told HOT ROD's Mike Finnegan, "We were top dogs there for about six minutes until Tom Bailey came along." Ahokas has been jinxed and had yet to finish a Drag Week™, so his first concern was finishing, "I'd like to at least make it the whole distance, one way or another."
Tom Bailey's Camaro had some issues with tire shake at St. Louis, so it took several attempts to get a 6-second pass on Day 2. Bailey noted that with the new converter, the car's 60-foot times were a bit off; coming back up by the 330-foot mark, it was pulling as hard as ever. With a 0.3-second lead over Dave Ahokas going into the final day, any 6-second pass would have accomplished their goal and guaranteed the Unlimited win. Rather than play it safe, the guys took advantage of the cooler temps at Beech Bend and turned up the wick, clocking a blistering 6.78-second run at 217.42 mph, breaking their own trap-speed record they set on the same track four days earlier. A fitting victory for HOT ROD's 2013 Fastest Street Car in America.

With all the controversy surrounding Bailey and Ahokas, the HOT ROD staff followed them on the highway for several days to make sure they had no support vehicles, and we even rode along. See the videos on our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/HotRodMagazine.
Larry Larson tells us he'll be back next year, even though the Unlimited rules won't change for 2014.
Modified Power Adder // Winning Average: 7.89 seconds at 178 mph
Todd Maschmeier and Travis Gilpin // 1968 Chevy Camaro
Taking a spot on the podium for the third quickest car overall, Todd Maschmeier's '68 Camaro, piloted by Travis Gilpin, was also the fastest Drag Week™ car that didn't haul a trailer behind it to carry gear. Witnessing the duo get ready to leave the track was always entertaining, as gear that filled the car left Todd and Travis–shaped voids that allowed them to squeeze in.
"Nitrous is not dead. I filled more bottles this year than at any Drag Week™ ever." — Monte Smith
At last year's event, the Camaro smashed its crossmember and oil pan on a highway expansion joint, took out a camshaft, and despite best efforts, the guys couldn't get the car to finish. This time around, it seemed like the only problem was getting traction and launching the car straight, as the team found that their rear sway bar had come loose, hooking the car to the left at the start line. With that problem diagnosed and fixed, the car cranked off a string of 7-second passes, shooting flames as it crossed the lights and as Travis let off the throttle. Monte Smith from NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) said he went through 12 of his 75-pound mother bottles of nitrous at this year's Drag Week™—more than ever before. Todd and Travis might have been responsible for the lion's share of that.

Pro Street Power Adder // Winning Average: 7.97 seconds at 177 mph
Mike Roy // 1971 Chevy Monte Carlo
When you have a heavy car and lots of power, driveline parts take a pounding. Mike Roy knows all about it. He's on his tenth transmission since he added turbos to his 4,000-pound Monte, including two in the two weeks leading up to Drag Week™ 2013. He blew up his ring-and-pinion in Beech Bend on Day 1 before he had clocked a single run. He had to scramble to swap in gears and make at least one decent pass to have any hope of staying with the competition. He got an 8.16-second pass just as racing was coming to an end that allowed him to stay in competition, while David Henninger bested his time with a 7.80 to take the lead on Day 1. The following day, at Indy, Mike added a bit of boost and got a better launch knowing that his new rearend parts would hold out while Henninger's Camaro never ran quite as fast after it spun out on the drive to Indy and hit the concrete median.

Super Street Power Adder // Winning Average: 7.98 seconds at 180 mph
Rick Prospero // 1965 Chevy Nova
On his sixth Drag Week™, Rick Prospero has learned a lot about getting a car to survive. Last year, he went through his transmission faster than Todd Maschmeier went through nitrous bottles. The stock-style suspension can't handle all of the power from the turbos coming on all at once on the starting line, so Rick spent a lot of time tweaking the boost levels, adding boost only once the car got to 300 feet. The car has progressed from a twin-turbo big-block that ran 10s several years ago to running high 7s with 1.61-second 60-foot times, and all that despite a 4,000-pound curb weight.
"We don't worry about weight, so we keep piling it on, and the car seems to like it." —Rick Prospero
Rick builds his own transmissions, and so far they have survived quite well, and he didn't have to bench press any Powerglides this year. Give some of that credit to Rick, and some to the Gear Vendors under/overdrive, added this year, that reduced the engine and transmission input shaft speeds by about 500 rpm, which made a huge difference in keeping engine and trans temps under control on the highway. In addition to Drag Week™, Rick races the Nova at NMCA events.

Pro St. Naturally Aspirated // Winning Average: 8.68 seconds at 155 mph
Eddie Miller // 1973 Plymouth Duster
"I kept saying the old class record was soft, and I proved it with one pass a day, in the afternoon heat, on the smallest tire allowed in the class. I didn't want anyone to think it was hard." —Eddie Miller
Pro Street Naturally Aspirated only managed to field three cars, and neither of Eddie Miller's competitors came close to the pace he set on his very first pass at Beech Bend. There's a little Drag Week™ history behind this class win. Miller won overall in 2006 with this purple Duster and an average of 8.56 seconds at 158 mph, using a big shot of nitrous. Fast-forward to 2011, when Doc McEntire won the Pro Street Naturally Aspirated class running low 9s. Eddie publicly called Doc out, saying the class was "soft." Eddie was a no-show for 2012—and that after a lot of smack talk—but came back in 2013 with his purple Duster and left the nitrous at home. Putting his Mopar where his mouth is, he made a series of 8.70 runs for the first four days of Drag Week™ until cooler temps on the final day allowed him to rip off an 8.58 at 159 mph.
The 596ci Mopar uses a Keith Black block with 4.53 bores and a Callies 4.625 stroke crank. The keys to the immense power are the Predator heads ported by Jeff Kobylski at Modern Cylinder head. Intake flow measures a staggering 496 cfm, and the valves are 2 inches longer than on a stock 440!

Wrap It Up
In addition to setting the Drag Week™ record for quickest naturally aspirated car, Eddie won for longest victory speech at the 2013 awards ceremony.
St. Race Small-Block Power Adder // Winning Average: 8.82 sec. at 159 mph
Jon Wischmann // 1995 Ford Mustang
With 24 cars in the class, Street Race Small-Block Power Adder looked to have the most competition of any of the Street Race classes, but early in the week, it turned into a battle between Chevy-swapped Mustangs as two cars rose to the top. James Bailey and his SN95 Cobra used a Procharger on his 406 and had an 8.75-second average going into the finals, just 0.06 seconds behind Jon Wischmann. James failed to make a pass at the finals, allowing Jon's twin-turbo 383 Chevy to take the win after making a subpar 9.35 pass.
We asked Jon about the small-block swap, and he told us it was just an engine he had sitting around. Doesn't everyone have a couple billet Precision Turbos and a 383 with AFR heads lying around? Jon's not new to turbos: he also has a twin-turbo 496ci '67 Camaro and a twin-turbo 4.6L '01 Mustang. Each of his cars uses Big Stuff 3 EFI, which he's become very familiar with. He's working on a '67 Camaro he's building for the Unlimited class.
Jon's fiancée, Kris, urged him to compete this year and was his copilot and crew chief. The race prep was pretty simple: unload car, lower the tire pressure, swap fuel lines, and install race tune. Jon raced on E85 that he carried in a 20-gallon fuel cell in the trunk. An AMS-1000 boost controller allowed Jon to turn down the boost so the engine could run on the highway using pump gas from the factory tank. While the dual fuel systems did add weight, he filled it up with E85 Sunday and didn't have to worry about race fuel all week. The boost controller also allowed Jon to tailor his launch. He typically leaves the line with 7 psi, ramps up to 16 psi over 2.5 seconds, and goes through the lights at 19 psi. His best run on Drag Week™ 2013 was an 8.63, and his best 60-foot time was 1.33—all on drag radials.

St. Race Big-Block Naturally Aspirated // Winning Avg.: 9.09 sec. at 151 mph
Curt Johnson and Ed Ensor // 1991 Ford Mustang
Here's yet another Fox-body Mustang with a Chevy engine swap, this time an all-aluminum 509 big-block with a Dart block and 13.8:1 compression that drank 112-octane fuel the entire trip. Starting with 14 cars in the class, it looked like the guys would have some stiff competition, although it turned out that the monster Victor heads ported by RFD combined with the lightweight Fox-body chassis made for a tough combination. It was the only car in the class in the 9s, and it almost broke into the 8s on the final day of Drag Week™, running a 9.03 in the much-cooler air at Beech Bend the second time around. The next-fastest car in the class was Richard Guido's '65 GTO powered by an iron-block, 517ci Pontiac, and it was still 1.5 seconds and 20 mph behind.

Tim Flanders // 1986 Ford Mustang
Starting with an 2008 5.3L small-block GM truck engine, Tim Flanders had ERL dry sleeves installed to run a 4.185-inch bore. Combined with a 4.125-inch stroke that gets you classic big-block Chevy displacement of 454 ci. That counts as a big-block as far as Drag Week™ is concerned, regardless of the base engine.
One of the most consistent cars of Drag Week™, Tim's runs at every track varied by less than a tenth and are right in line with his best-ever pass of 9.56.

Kevin Follette // 1982 Mazda RX7
Kevin campaigned an '82 Mazda RX7 powered by the same 402ci small-block Chevy that Jake Stelter ran in his class-winning '67 Chevelle for Drag Week™ 2012. Tom Vigue at 3V Performance is the man behind the build, where the engine spent hours on a Spintron to analyze the valvetrain. At the heart of the engine is a big-block-Chevy-sized cam tunnel that holds a custom-ground solid-roller with 0.866/0.848 lift and 272/284 duration at 0.050. Kevin was all set to bang gears at 8,500 rpm when the Jerico decided it wasn't cut out for Drag Week™ and fragged itself the Sunday before the event began.
In its place, Kevin bolted in a Powerglide, and after getting the hang of the new trans, he ran a best of 9.73. We were hoping for more from the lightweight car, as it ran close to the same numbers from Jake's much-heavier '67 Chevelle. Even off pace, Kevin had the lead in the class from Day 1 and widened the gap on the remaining competitors each and every day until the final, when the remaining cars in the class all ran several tenths quicker due to the improved track conditions.

St. Race Big-Block Power Adder // Winning Avg: 10.07 seconds at 139 mph
Mike Burroughs // 1971 Chevy Nova
The eight-car field in the Street Race Big-Block Power Adder class thinned to four finishers. Early class leader Robert Williams didn't make it to Day 3 after posting two 9-second runs in Beech Bend and Indy, leaving Randy Belehar and Mike Burroughs at the head of the pack.
This is Mike's second Drag Week™, and he competed but didn't finish in 2011. He returned with a rebuilt engine, a new torque converter for his Proformance Racing Transmission Turbo 400, a new Gear Vendors under/overdrive, and two fuel systems—one for street, one for strip. Each race day, Mike would arrive at the track with less than 10 gallons of fuel so he could pump out the 93-octane he was running on the street into two empty, 5-gallon jugs and dump in 112-octane race gas. Then he'd put the belt on the F-2 Procharger, plumb the intake for boost, switch from the street-fuel pump to a Weldon race-fuel pump, put in a fresh set of spark plugs, and bolt on the slicks.
Mike's car wasn't running quite right most of the week, but Thursday he discovered that an O2 sensor had gone bad. After fixing the sensor, the car was once-again running at full steam and broke two teeth out of the ring-and-pinion on his next launch. Mike JB-welded the hole in the inspection cover and installed a new set only to drive 250 miles to the hotel before discovering it was the wrong gearset. With no parts on hand and Randy's Grand Prix at his heels, Mike chose to go back to the broken set of gears and ran it with two teeth missing. Mike marked on the tire where the broken teeth would line up so he wouldn't launch with the pinion near the missing teeth. In his most nerve-wracking run yet, he clocked a very noisy 10.25, good enough to keep him in the lead. On Day 5 the final timeslips were due at 4 p.m., and at 3:48 p.m., Randy Belehar was still running. The Grand Prix melted three spark plugs and put down its best run of Drag Week™ 2013 with a 9.82, but it wasn't enough. By a 0.02-second margin, Mike Burroughs pulled off the win.

St. Race Small-Block Naturally Aspirated // Winning Avg: 10.09 sec. at 133 mph
Jeff Sias // 1990 Ford Mustang
Finally, here is a Fox-body car with a Ford engine at the top of its class! At his first Drag Week™, Jeff and co-driver Jesse Martin drove in a pack with Drag Week™ veteran Mike Sussino and wanted to stick to Sussino's plan to make one run each day, pack up, and leave. Getting through the drive was his biggest concern, and he tells us, "I just wanted to get there on Friday." Far from just finishing, Jeff and Jesse found themselves at the top of their class, battling Mike Crow's '69 Dart all week.
After Day 1 of racing, there was only a 0.002-second gap separating the two, with Crow holding the slim lead. On Day 2, Jeff pulled ahead by a slight margin, with the final average coming down to less than 0.1 second, culminating in a heads-up match race between the two. Jeff had already made a run that would have sealed his win, but the two had helped each other out during the week and had become friends, so they wanted to see their cars actually go head-to-head. Jeff told us, "I'd never raced with a car that was so closely matched. He Tree'd me, but I came around him."
High temperatures and humidity all week kept Jeff's Holley HP-fuel-injected Dart aluminum-block 427 from setting personal-best e.t.'s. The 427 responded on Day 2 when Jeff added 3 degrees of timing after a bad first pass, and he picked up 3 mph. Wednesday netted the best pass of the week as co-driver Jesse Martin surveyed the track and told Jeff that the track in St. Louis was the opportunity to go big on the launch.
The all-aluminum, 351-based, 12.1:1, 427ci Ford small-block falls just under the 430ci limit for small-blocks and uses Trick Flow high-port heads prepped by Cleveland Performance. Jeff banged gears in his TKO five-speed, sending the power from the 427 to a spooled 9-inch with 4.30 gears. Race prep each day was simple: Unpack the car, swap street tires for slicks, and pull the spacers out of the rear springs.

Gasser // Winning Average: 10.54 seconds at 125 mph
Dan Chisholm and Kenny Stasiak // 1955 Chevy
This is what HOT ROD had in mind when the Gasser class was created. Built in seven months with a lot of help from friends who installed a new frame and floorboards and repaired some shade-tree fixes the car sustained during its life as a race car, the Chisholm & Stasiak '55 Chevy Gasser was a crowd favorite.
The two-man team had the car lettered to reflect the car owner Chisholm and the engine owner Stasiak. Despite the last-minute thrash to get the car built, it had a relatively uneventful Drag Week™, at least in regard to parts breakages and on-road mishaps. The first issue that was sorted out was a death wobble in the front suspension that was tracked down to a loose steering box. Once they got to Drag Week™, the only issue (other than "sucking gas like crazy") was one of the rocker-arm locks busted at Indy after the last pass. Twice it needed valve adjustments on the road and it was "hot as hell" inside the car, but it ran as cool as can be.
The car had been raced and then spent years in a junkyard. Dan heard about it and convinced a friend to save it from being turned to scrap because he didn't have any room to take it himself. Dan eventually ended up with the car after trading some parts and a bit of cash. It was at that point that Dan realized, "I couldn't ruin it; I could only make it better." The same week Dan dragged the car to his shop, the Feb. '13 issue of HOT ROD arrived in the mail, inspiring him to build the car for Drag Week™. Dan considered a blown small-block until he remembered his buddy Kenny already had a big-block. Of course, it had a huge window in the block, but it was a start.
Some serious bartering and horse-trading among friends, some of whom donated parts, got the project rolling. Dan's brother Dave turned out to be a big motivator, betting $500 the '55 wouldn't make it on the road. Mark Vinson helped Kenny assemble the motor and served to light a fire under the guys, making sure it got ready in time. A turning point in the build came three months before Drag Week™. There was no 'cage in the car and many time-consuming things were left to do; both Kenny and Dan knew they were thinking they wouldn't make it, yet neither of them wanted to say anything. Five minutes later, Mark pulled up with fuel lines, pressure regulators, and a K&N filter. Eight hours later, they had made tremendous progress and could see the light at the end of the tunnel. When it came time for paint, Dan found a gallon of black at a price he couldn't pass up and his brother-in-law Shawn Melensky sprayed it—in the driveway. It was his first paintjob, but you'd never know it by looking at the period-correct lace panels on the roof.
The Friday before Drag Week™, Dave paid up, handing Dan a paper bag filled with ones, fives, and at least a few dollars in quarters. The car gets about 6 mpg, which ate through the $500 winnings in no time. That didn't dampen their spirits. The 10:1 engine runs on 93 octane on the street, so they'd add two gallons of race fuel at the track to be safe, bolt on slicks, drop the exhaust, and swap in plugs one heat range cooler. They barely touched the carb, only adjusted the timing once, and played with tire pressure.
"There's no insulation, it's obnoxiously loud, and it rattles so much you don't know if the engine's coming apart. By the end of the week, we enjoyed it." —Dan Chisholm

Dusty Ward // 1988 Ford Mustang
Dusty Ward's '88 Mustang made its drag racing debut on Power Tour™ 2013, and it was also Dusty's first year as a Drag Week™ driver, having spent 2011's event in the passenger seat of Dan Nissen's Nova (that took Third in Street Race Small-Block NA this year). Consistent runs all week long, despite a spate of front wheel and tire issues, kept Dusty at the top of the field for most of the competition. Glen Sheeley and his C6 Corvette posted the quickest time in the class at 10.53 but didn't make it past Day 1.
"Without a doubt, I'm using the Gear Vendors certificate." — Dusty Ward
Dusty's Mustang had seen a transformation to small-block Mopar power at the hands of the prior owner, which was fine by Dusty, as he confided that, "I'm a Chrysler guy, but I'm a closet Fox-body fan." When Dusty bought the car, it was just a roller, but the custom-built headers came with it, simplifying the process of bolting in another Mopar small-block with front and mid-motor plates. In the months leading up to Drag Week™, Dusty's father Gary Ward, Steve Osterman, and Street Race Small-Block Naturally Aspirated competitor "Montana Dan" Nissen all pitched in to get the Mopar Mustang ready for the streets. The 400 that's in the car now started as a 340 block that was bored to 4.10 inches. A 3.79-inch K-1 Technologies crank was installed for 400 ci after the block was filled to the bottom of the core plugs with Hard Blok. It uses W2 heads and adapter plates to mount the custom headers that were originally built for W8 heads. The dyno showed 590 hp at 6,800 rpm and 530 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. The two Chevys it beat can't decide if they were outrun by a Ford or a Mopar.

2013 Drag Week™ by the Numbers
250 entries sold out in 8 hours
230 cars started, 173 finished
1,080 miles were on the official route
104 cars were in the Daily Driver class, the first time that class represented less than half the entries
24 cars in Street Race Small-Block Power Adder made it the second-largest field
0.9748 seconds separated the fastest (10.932) and slowest (11.9068) e.t.'s in the 32-car field for the Daily Driver bracket race on the last day
0.0274 seconds difference in the five-day average e.t. that separated Mike Burroughs and Randy Belehar in Street Race Big-Block Power Adder, making for this year's tightest finish
4 cars finished with five-day average e.t.'s in the 7s
8 finished with averages in the 8s
11 averaged in the 9s
28 cars were equipped with Gear Vendors under/overdrives from the title sponsor; 8 of those won their classes and 9 others placed Second or Third
The HOT ROD staff joked that if Scott had skipped one Drag Week™ he'd save enough money on gas to finally get his Road Runner painted. But where's the fun in that? Besides, we're getting used to seeing the Patchwork Plymouth on Drag Week™ and the Joe Dirt look is perfect for muscle-era Mopars. So what's the secret to a mid-11-second Daily Driver–class car? Scott's B-body uses a 440 block, a Muscle Motors stroker crank, and Diamond pistons to displace 520 ci with an 11.3:1 compression ratio. The top end uses 440 Source heads ported by Modern Cylinder Head, a Holley 950 perched on a Holley Dominator intake, and a Mopar solid-roller cam that makes a dyno-proven 492 hp at 6,200 rpm. The rest of the drivetrain is a column-shifted 727 built by A&A Transmission followed by an 8¾-inch limited-slip rear with 3.91 gears. That combo's good for a best of 11.37 at 120 mph, and a Drag Week™ average of 11.59, getting into the top 10 of Daily Driver and easily into the 32-car field for the Day 5 bracket race. After five rounds of racing, only Scott was left, having knocked down consistent runs without red-lighting. We're expecting Scott and his 520 Mopar big-block to be back next year, but rumor has it that he'll have the engine in a '72 Charger.
Hot Rod // Winning Average: 12.62 seconds at 107 mph
Tom Dziengel // 1940 Ford Tudor
Tom Dziengel returned to the Hot Rod class for the second year in a row in his Chevy-383-powered '40 Ford. The car is set up more for a road race and normally runs FAST fuel injection, but Hot Rod class rules call for a carb, so Tom used a Holley 650 on the track. The car was powered by a TPI 305 at first, but it was replaced with a 383 when it developed a rod knock. The new engine got the car into the 12s and a cam swap and carb spacer helped it dip into the 12.5s, running a best of 12.51 during the finals in Beech Bend. Tom's most memorable pass this year had to be the run in St. Louis, when Bob Guido's '69 Mustang crossed lanes right in front of him and smashed the wall. "From my point of view, it was pretty close." Tom thought Bob's Mustang would stay to the right, so he kept on the throttle for a bit and hit the brakes for an instant as Bob's car crossed over about a car-length in front of him. More on that next month.
Tom camped at every venue, so he had a lot of gear in his car. His race prep routine was to swap to slicks, make two runs, and hit the road. At Beech Bend, he tried running without the carb spacer and lost two-tenths, so he figured the car was happy the way he had it.

Title | Oral history with Percy Brooks |
Description | Oral history.; Percy Brooks was born on November 15, 1911 to a family of farmers. His grandfather had been freed from slavery during the Civil War, and afterwards sharecropped and rented land to save money to buy eighty acres in 1909. Mr. Brooks inherited the land from his grandfather. During the Depression, crops grown on the farm sustained the Brooks family even though money was scarce. Farming was also a source of income when Mr. Brooks held jobs at the cotton compress in Macon for twenty-five years, built and cleaned roads for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s, and worked for Delta Brick for ten years. He and his wife Callie Harlen Brooks had nine children. |

JL Audio designs Stealthboxes to fit in specific vehicles, then loads them with appropriate subwoofers for optimal performance. Pair the system with an appropriate amp and wiring for stellar concealed bass.

Next, they mount each high-performance subwoofer so it delivers amazing firepower from within its unique enclosure, without sacrificing clarity or musical depth. The fiberglass enclosure offers superior rigidity while allowing more interior volume, so the sub can turn out louder, deeper bass.

Superfoods are rare plants from land and sea, which are brimming with micronutrients that actually help sweep free radicals and other toxins from your body's 100 trillion cells, offering ultimate immune system support. And they come with another great benefit—a big boost in your energy level. The ultimate energy boost comes from adaptogens, particularly ashwagandha and Rhodiola rosea extract.
I've also included spirulina, a freshwater blue-green algae that gives you extreme protection for every cell in your body. You'd be hard-pressed to find superfoods in any ordinary multivitamin.
4. Omega-3 Complex
Keep your brain, heart, and joints young and strong
You must have essential fatty acids (EFAs) in your diet, especially omega-3s, to stay healthy. They're critical for your cardiovascular system, blood pressure, brain function, immune system, joints, and just about every other system in your body.
Basic multivitamins don't give you fish oil, a great source of omega-3s. I put the purest, safest oil I could find right in Daily Advantage.
Probiotic Advantage Colon Health targets chronic digestive issues, especially in your colon
Probiotic Advantage Colon Health delivers 10 billion live bacteria in the 10 most powerful strains to every inch of your digestive tract for all-day relief. The superstar of Probiotic Advantage Colon Health is a discovery from New Zealand called Actazin™. Its special 4-way action system boosts digestion and regularity in the colon with prebiotics, polyphenols, a special enzyme called actinidin, and insoluble fiber.
Prebiotics "supercharge" the probiotics you're getting—helping to establish bigger colonies of good bacteria to crowd out the bad. The polyphenols are a powerful group of antioxidants that help probiotics "set up camp"—to better adhere to the wall of your intestine.
Actinidin helps to increase gut motility. Its job is to keep the muscles of the gut functioning properly so everything flows smoothly. And insoluble fiber helps to move the probiotics through your system so they get where they need to be.

Science and Quality
Daily Advantage
- Healthy individuals supplemented with an antioxidant cocktail (vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene) showed an increased resistance to LDL cholesterol oxidation.1
- In one study, healthy women, ages 58–67, were given vitamin D, as well as 1,000 mg calcium carbonate. After 2 years, bone mass density of the lumbar spine increased 1.6% compared to placebo.2
- Research supports the positive effects of chromium supplementation for promoting insulin sensitivity in overweight people. In one study, dieting women given 200 mcg chromium polynicotinate experienced improved insulin sensitivity.3
- A recent controlled study found that supplementing with B6, folic acid, and B12 helped to promote normal homocysteine levels.4
- Omega-3 fatty acids appear to promote cardiovascular health through multiple pathways: promoting normal triglyceride levels, reducing blood platelet aggregation, promoting nitric oxide and relaxing blood vessels, supporting the heart muscle, and balancing prostaglandins to the more favorable prostaglandin E3.5
Probiotic Advantage Colon Health
- Individuals with milk sensitivities are able to tolerate dairy that includes probiotics better than dairy that lacks probiotics.6
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients taking L. acidophilus experienced significantly more relief from their gastrointestinal discomfort than did those taking placebo.7
- A meta-analysis of double-blind human trials found that probiotic strains, including L. acidophilus, help to alleviate occasional diarrhea.8
- In a study of 33 constipated patients and 20 healthy volunteers, each group was given a 4-week treatment of kiwi fruit twice daily. Complete spontaneous bowel motion increased in the constipated group. There was also improvement in scores for satisfaction of bowel habit, transit time, and rectal sensation. No change occurred in the healthy subjects.9

Overview of content related to 'doi'
This page provides an overview of 2 articles related to 'doi', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
A digital object identifier (DOI) is a character string used to uniquely identify an electronic document or other object. Metadata about the object is stored in association with the DOI name and this metadata may include a location, such as a URL, where the object can be found. The DOI for a document is permanent, whereas its location and other metadata may change. Referring to an online document by its DOI provides more stable linking than simply referring to it by its URL, because if its URL changes, the publisher need only update the metadata for the DOI to link to the new URL. However, unlike URLs, the DOI system is not open to all comers; only organizations that can meet the contractual obligations of the DOI system and that are willing to pay to become a member of the system can assign DOIs. The DOI system is implemented through a federation of registration agencies coordinated by the International DOI Foundation, which developed and controls the system. The DOI system has been developed and implemented in a range of publishing applications since 2000; by late 2009 approximately 43 million DOI names had been assigned by some 4,000 organizations.

Mariners complete three-game sweep of Tigers
Figgins' seventh-inning double snaps tie; Smoak, Olivo homer
DETROIT -- The Mariners were rattled, but didn't allow the wheels to come off Thursday against the Tigers as they surrendered a four-run lead, but ultimately completed the three-game sweep.
Behind a go-ahead RBI double from Chone Figgins in the seventh inning and a bullpen that combined to throw four scoreless innings, Seattle won, 5-4, and pushed its record to 9-2 against Detroit in the last 11 matchups.
"It's big, and for our young kids in particular," manager Eric Wedge said. "It should be a confidence booster for them. We played some good baseball here and we won in different types of games. These guys should take a lot from this."
The Mariners came to Detroit on a four-game losing streak that included a perfect game thrown against them. They left with a season-high three straight wins.
They did so by scoring early and often. Seattle outscored Detroit, 9-2, in the first three innings during the series, and they got three runs in the first inning on Thursday.
Chone Figgins led things off with a single, and two batters later, Justin Smoak broke out of an 0-for-16 slump with a three-run home run to right.
"It's just one of those things where you put runs up early and it puts pressure on the other team," Smoak said. "It makes you as a team, and the pitcher, feel more relaxed."
Miguel Olivo tacked on another run with a solo shot in the top of the fourth to give Hector Noesi a four-run cushion. However, after firing 4 1/3 innings without allowing a hit, things took an abrupt turn.
The 25-year-old right-hander entered the contest with three games under his belt this season. Two of those games Noesi had combined for 4 1/3 innings and 13 earned runs. In between was an eight-inning, five-hit start in which he allowed no runs.
At first, it seemed like Thursday's performance would be similar to the latter. But with one out in the fifth, Don Kelly came up with the first Tigers hit of the game.
Kelly came around to score and in the sixth, with the score 4-1, the Tigers put together a three-run rally -- capped by a two-run home run by Miguel Cabrera -- to tie the game.
"It was a better day for him today," said Wedge about his starter, who went five innings and gave up four runs on five hits. "He has a lot to draw from today. That's more in the realm of where he needs to be. ... But he's got to find a way to get through that."
Noesi couldn't get through it as he was pulled after the Cabrera home run. However, Charlie Furbush, Steve Delabar, Lucas Luetge, Tom Wilhelmsen and Brandon League combined to pitch four innings, allowing three hits and one walk
Figgins doubled in the top of the seventh off Tigers starter Rick Porcello, who's day was finished after that hit with 6 2/3 innings, and it's all the bullpen needed to secure the sweep.
"I got a couple more pitches to hit today earlier in the count and I was a little more aggressive on them," said Figgins, who finished 3-for-4 with a stolen base.
The Mariners finished the series batting .322 (37-for-115) with 10 extra-base hits -- six doubles and four home runs. They got the leadoff hitter on in 14 of 27 innings and brought the runner around to score nine of those 14 times. They see improvement, and it's promising heading into Toronto for another three-game series.
"We knew we were close to starting to get some consistency going and this series proved that," Figgins said. "We just need to keep getting pitches to hit and keep playing good defense and try to stay consistent with it."

Bottle openers make great promotional items because they come in handy so often. Think about it: how many times have you been hanging out with friends or getting ready to eat at a family gathering when someone grabs a cold one from the cooler and asks around for a bottle opener? Even today, not every bottle comes with a twist-off cap. A bottle opener with your logo on it will help your customers be prepared--and make sure that your company's name comes to mind when they see it!
Needless to say, bottle openers are great giveaway items for a restaurant or bar. No matter where they are when they're popping open their bottles of root beer, when they use bottle openers that bear your business's logo, they'll be thinking about the fine food and drinks they enjoyed at your establishment.
Of course, you don't have to be a restaurant owner to have success using bottle openers as promotional items. Anyone who works at events where the cold drinks might be flowing--caterers, musicians, deejays--can benefit from having their contact information printed on bottle openers that guests can slip into their pockets and bring home with them.
Really, if there's going to be any kind of gathering where people expect to have fun, and your business is going to have a presence there, you can bet that bottle openers with your company's logo on them will make fine souvenirs.
Getting a booth at a local street fair? Get some bottle openers to help attendees remember your company's name. They'll be easy for festival-goers to snag from the table so they can take a look at your company logo later. Giving away thank-you gifts at the company picnic? Slip a few bottle openers into the bags so your employees can share them with friends and family. Bottle openers are like pens in that people tend to pass them along (and sometimes not return them, which is a good thing in this case--it spreads your company's info even further!).
Industry conventions give rise to all sorts of parties once the official business on the convention floor is done for the day. In this case, personalized bottle openers given away at the company booth are just the kind of promotional item that people will put to use right away, and they'll be looking at your company's logo when they do it.
Bottle openers are small and sturdy. They'll get your company's information into customers' hands and stand up to use so that customers won't forget what they saw. We've listed a few cases when bottle openers might make wonderful promo gifts, but their convenient size and their durability make them a solid choice for almost any situation. If you think that custom bottle openers can help promote your business, then give Quality Logo Products a call today.

What do you think of the
Castelli Core Mesh Base Layer - Short-Sleeve - Men's
? Share a...
John Heineken
Works great
PROS: This baselayer garment is designed to keep you cool in warm weather by holding your jersey off your skin. This promotes sweat evaporation and cooling.
CONS: Opening for the head is very small. No big deal (though I hope Castelli fixes this in the next version). Just take care in working this baselayer over your head. ... Yes! Dan P is so right below. This t-shirt is totally open fishnet. Only wear this garment alone in front of your GF or wife! (even then)
Every serious rider should consider using a baselayer like this in warm weather.
This baselayer and Castelli's "Climber's Jersey" make an AWESOME combination.
Good product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this about a few weeks ago and have used it several times so far under a couple different jerseys. It does almost exactly what the description says. I have noticed my temperature staying a bit more constant, and it definitely does a great job wicking away sweat. The only thing, be ready for how meshy it is. The picture just cannot prepare you for how see-through it is. Granted, it is a base layer, but just be warned.
Very good product.
I use this base layer mostly during colder weather under a Castelli Gabba Jersey. Works very well. Comfortable. Does what it is supposed to do; Trap air.

Via Skype, former inmate sues Valley Street jail guards
A Canadian deported from the United States after serving a prison term, he has been appearing in Hillsborough County Superior Court via the audio-video link Skype to sue three correction officers from the Valley Street Jail over his pre-trail confinement seven years ago.
After various rulings, the case has boiled down to three defendants — Vincent Williams, now a lieutenant at the jail; Todd Gordon, now a sergeant, and Nicholas Granville, who is now a Derry police officer.
At the time, he told the corrections officers he would sue them and started hitting himself in the head, said Sgt. Ryan Levierge.
Earlier Tuesday, Thompson's public defender testified that when he visited him in May, his client had bruises on his face and scratched eye glasses.
Gordon Fuller said toilet flushes would drown out much of the sound from the cells.
Three separate trials are being held involving the defendants. In May, a jury ruled in favor of the defendants over Juan Marquez. A trial is expected later this summer involving claims brought by Christopher Robinson.
