As the wheel in my car is naturally thick this wheel cover is perfect as it does not add any additional thickness to the wheel as most pre-made padded wheel covers do. This is my second one. The first one lasted me about 5 years. It is easy to sew as well.

The NASCAR racer that saved the Corvette

A lot of car people, and especially a lot of people who like Chevrolet, know the basic framework of the story. The Corvette started out as a show car during the Motorama shows presented by General Motors and made it to production on the cheap. Snail-like sales of the hallowed originals – just 300 in 1953 – nearly led to the car being dropped. Folklore has Zora Arkus-Duntov delivering an over-my-dead-body ultimatum that kept the Corvette alive. The real story is more complicated and compelling. It involves a very special early Corvette that predicted its future remaking as a true sports car with V-8 power. The car is also being extensively shown at some of the country's most prestigious car shows.
It's in the collection of Pro Team Corvette, the dealer and restorer of classic Corvettes based in Napoleon, Ohio. We've been in touch with Pro Team president Terry Michaelis, who has not only been generous with information on Corvette number 211, but is also asking the Hemmings Nation for help on researching its racing history. But first, let's look at the car.
It's a 1953 Corvette with VIN number E53F001211, making it the 211th example produced that year. Through research, the Pro Team crew has identified it as a car that was handed over to Chevrolet Engineering, where it was rebuilt under the direction of 1940s Indianapolis 500 winner Mauri Rose. The car was outfitted with a 265-cu.in. small-block V-8 equipped with dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, powering a three-speed manual transmission and the rear end from a V-8 Chevrolet sedan of 1955 or 1956. Remember that all production 1953 Corvettes used the Blue Flame overhead-valve straight-six and a Powerglide automatic.
The exact sequence of what happened next is a little murky, which is why Terry is looking for help from us. At some point, 211 was refitted with a 1955 body and turned over to NASCAR. There is photographic evidence of NASCAR founder Big Bill France running on the sand during the Daytona Beach speed trials. During those years, NASCAR had a number of ventures beyond its famous Strictly Stock or Grand National stock car division. One of them was a short-lived circuit called SCODA, which stood for Sports Car Owners and Drivers Association (around the same time, NASCAR also had a Speedway Division for Indy-type cars). One remarkable photo shows 211 and a couple of other Chevrolet Engineering Corvettes being gridded with an XK Jaguar at the tiny Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the little quarter-mile oval that's NASCAR's longest-running weekly speedway. Jack Hawkins and Bobby Myers were two of its drivers. Apparently, 211 at some point passed through Smokey Yunick's hands before finding its way to Canada.
When Pro Team acquired the car, it had received an older restoration that returned it to its original Blue Flame/Powerglide configuration. Since researching the car and restoring it to NASCAR specs, Pro Team has shown it at Amelia Island and the Ault Park concours in Cincinnati; it won first in class and the Bill Rudd Honorary Trophy at the latter event. Late next month, it will be on the field at the Concours d'Elegance of America in St. Johns, Michigan. Terry's position is that you can directly trace the lineage of 211 to the first production small-block Corvette of 1955, and then to the performance specials that followed the 1956, which led people to take the Corvette a lot more seriously. But the full story of this car has yet to be written – ideally, as Terry envisions it, in book form. If you know something about the car, help him out. Email what you know to email@example.com.
UPDATE (12.November 2014): The NASCAR Corvette has been slated to cross the block at Barrett-Jackson's 2015 Scottsdale auction.
Fred Lorenzen, Wendell Scott lead NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees

The African-American stock car pioneer Wendell Scott and 1960s Ford superstar Fred Lorenzen lead the latest class of five inductees voted yesterday into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte.
Scott was only credited with a single win at NASCAR's top level, but had been on the list of prospective inductees since the hall's first class was enshrined. From Danville, Virginia, Scott was the first black driver to race full time in what is today's Sprint Cup series. Scott endured obvious discrimination during his career – he was only credited with the 1963 win in Jacksonville, Florida, after the crowd had left the track – and raced with tattered, hand-me-down equipment. Yet he posted 495 starts and 147 top 10 finishes in a career that lasted 13 years. A former Sportsman short-track star, Scott's driving days ended after he was critically injured in a 1973 pileup at Talladega. He died in 1990.
Lorenzen, a Chicago native who moved south, was one of NASCAR's great stars as the sport began to gain national prominence in the early 1960s. He never raced full time on the series, yet he led the factory Ford team of Holman-Moody, winning three times in only 15 starts his first season. He was so strong that in 1963, Lorenzen placed third in Grand National points despite missing half the races. In 1965, he won both the Daytona 500 and World 600. Lorenzen retired the following year and briefly attempted a comeback in the early 1970s.
Based on vote totals by a 54-member election panel, the inductees were chosen from a group of 20 nominees. Also enshrined was the 1980s legend Bill Elliott of Dawsonville, Georgia, who won the 1988 NASCAR title and an unprecedented 16 most popular driver award. Elliott – still a semi-active driver – is perhaps better known for winning a million-dollar Winston bonus in 1985 by sweeping three of four major superspeedway events, including the Daytona 500.
Joe Weatherly was a national champion in two branches of motorsport, scoring an American Motorcycle Association title in the early 1950s before switching to stock cars, winning more than 100 NASCAR Modified races. A hugely colorful character and inveterate partier, Weatherly won two consecutive Grand National titles for car owner Bud Moore, also a Hall inductee. He was NASCAR's defending champion when he crashed fatally at Riverside, California, in early 1964.
The fifth inductee is Rex White, who started out in NASCAR in 1956, driving for the factory Ford team then run by Pete DePaolo. White's enduring fame was based on his incredible level of consistency: He started 233 Grand National races during his career, but finished nearly half of them in the top five. That steadiness allowed him to win the 1960 Grand National championship, and finish a close second in 1961.
Next in line among the top vote-getters, though missing induction, were multi-time Modified champion Jerry Cook, the engine-building genius and team owner Robert Yates, and the late champion-turned-broadcaster Benny Parsons. Among the nominees notably passed over were early championship owner Raymond Parks, his driver, Red Byron; bootlegger-turned-star Curtis Turner, who failed in an attempt to unionize NASCAR's drivers; and short-track legend Larry Phillips.
An additional honor, the inaugural Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR, went to the late Anne Bledsoe France, wife of NASCAR founder William H.G. France. She outpolled a field of candidates including Parks, longtime Martinsville Speedway promoter H. Clay Earles, broadcaster Ken Squier and R.J. Reynolds executive Ralph Seagraves, who engineered the longtime Winston tobacco sponsorship of NASCAR and its tracks.
Original "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" NASCAR racer to be added to National Historic Vehicle Register
Herb Thomas (left) and Marshall Teague with their Fabulous Hudson Hornets.
To battle the latest overhead-valve V-8s in stock car racing the early 1950s, one didn't need correlating power. Rather, it took innovative chassis design, an unconventional engine builder and one of the most dominant drivers in stock car history, all of which helped make Herb Thomas's No. 92 Hudson Hornet "fabulous" and which led representatives of the National Historic Vehicle Register to decide to include the Hudson on their list.
Thomas, a recent addition to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, first raced in NASCAR in the inaugural Strictly Stock race in 1949, but didn't notch a win until a year later and didn't start racing Hudsons until 1951, when Marshall Teague convinced him to switch from his Plymouths and Oldsmobiles to the step-down Hudsons, probably the most unlikely contenders in NASCAR due to their flathead six-cylinder engines.
Contend they did, however, thanks in part to their semi-unibody construction that allowed a lower floor and thus a lower center of gravity than their competition. Credit also went to Hudson for throwing its support behind Teague's racing effort by providing severe-duty parts and engineering the Twin-H dual-carburetor setup for the company's torquey 308-cu.in. six-cylinder (not to mention the 220-hp 7-X version of the Twin-H engine that Teague and Vince Piggins developed for Hudson) and to Teague's engine builder, Smokey Yunick, for figuring out how to wring the maximum possible power out of the engines at a time when stock meant just that in NASCAR's rules.

Thomas, who took 10 wins in a Hornet over the latter half of the 1951 season and the first half of the 1952 season, bought this particular Hornet directly from Hudson in either late July or August of 1952 after wrecking his previous car and over the next season and a half took another 15 wins with the car, ultimately taking the 1953 championship with it. All told, Thomas, Teague, Tim Flock, Dick Rathmann and others would give Hudson 80 wins from 1951 through 1955, dominating the sport and forcing the Big Three into providing factory support for stock car racers running those cars.
Old race cars – particularly old stock cars – don't have much of a shelf life after they're retired, but Thomas's actually became a street-driven car in the South after he bought a third Hornet from Hudson for the 1954 season. By the mid-1970s, it ended up in eastern Kentucky, and its owner, looking to put the car back on the road, called up Jack Miller in Ypsilanti, Michigan, for brake parts. "I sent him the parts, but he called back and said the seals looked too small, they just fell through the holes in the drum," Jack said. "I told him he had some severe-usage parts on it and the car could have been a race car or a police car, which used those parts."
He said he'd be willing to buy the car, but then didn't hear from the customer for about 10 years, when the customer called out of the blue and said he was willing to sell it. "It'd been primed so many times, and most of the stainless was missing," Jack said. "He didn't have it running, and the parts I sold him were still on the front seat. And there was a hole in the driveshaft hump in the back floor from where a driveshaft broke and punched through."
Jack put it in storage in Detroit and then didn't touch it again for another 10 years, when a friend of his started to remove the primer and found a No. 92 still painted on the car. Years earlier, Jack had obtained some of the Hudson racing paperwork from John Conde, then the PR man for American Motors, which included the canceled promissory note for Thomas's Hornet. By matching up the serial number on the promissory note to the serial number on the car, Jack confirmed that it was indeed Herb Thomas's old steed, so he finished the restoration in time for the 1998 Eyes on Design show.

"I had a lot of fun with that car," Jack said, noting the times he took it to Daytona for display at the Living Legends of Auto Racing Museum and the times he drove it in Daytona beach parades. He would later get to meet Thomas and many other former NASCAR drivers. (Thomas retired in the early 1960s and died in 2000 at the age of 77.)
He did not, however, get to meet the crew from Pixar behind the 2006 film Cars, which featured a character, Doc Hudson, patterned after the several Fabulous Hudson Hornets. While a number of replicas of other Fabulous Hudson Hornets have been built over the years, to date the Herb Thomas 1952 Hornet remains the only authenticated example of a racing Hornet extant.
Jack sold the Hornet last November to Hudson collector Ed Souers, who said that the Historic Vehicle Association contacted him a couple of months ago about including the Hornet on the National Historic Vehicle Register. "I'm just getting familiar with it and starting my own research into it," Ed said. "But apparently, the people from the HVA read enough about it to think that it's worth including in the register. When you start to think about the importance of NASCAR and of Herb Thomas – he was really an early superstar in NASCAR – it's a pretty impressive car, and probably is worthy, at least as much as the other cars they're looking at."

Those other nominees for the National Historic Vehicle Register, which the HVA presented on the National Mall this past weekend for the Cars at the Capital event – which organizers claimed to be the first-ever car show on the National Mall – include Woodrow Wilson's 1919 Pierce-Arrow presidential limousine, currently in the care of the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum in Staunton, Virginia; the 1895 Chicago Benton Harbor, currently in the care of the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania; the Tucker "Tin Goose" prototype, currently in the Swigart Museum in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania; one of two gold-plated 1981 De Lorean DMC-12s; a 1976 Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar; a 1963 Studebaker Avanti; a 1926 Duesenberg Model A; and a 1933 Graham Blue Streak.
They all joined "Old Red," the first Meyers Manx dune buggy, for its official inclusion on the register. According to Mark Gessler, president of the HVA, all 10 of the nominees for the register were extensively photographed and laser scanned while in Washington this past weekend, and all will officially make the register sometime over the next 18 months.
The four criteria for a vehicle to be included in the National Historic Vehicle Register include: association with important American historic events, association with important American historic figures, its design or construction value, and its informational value. Selection to the register involves a complete documentation of the vehicle, including a fully referenced narrative of the vehicle's provenance and full photography, which will then be placed in the Library of Congress. No restrictions are placed on subsequent use or sale of the vehicle.

NASCAR icon Bud Moore on the mend

We live in a world where the word "hero" gets tossed around a lot, sometimes far too casually. Bud Moore, however, personifies that descriptor. He waded into the steel-laced hell of Omaha Beach on D-Day and fought his way through Europe under Patton. When the fighting was over, Moore had been awarded two Bronze Stars and no less than five Purple Hearts.
Moore hadn't even gotten involved in auto racing yet, but when he did, he stayed for essentially a lifetime. We report this as Moore, now 88, is home in his native Spartanburg, South Carolina, convalescing after a mild heart attack.
As a mechanic and team owner, Moore was a prolific NASCAR winner. He took the 1957 Grand National championship with Buck Baker as his driver and then followed it up with another, in 1963, with the inimitable Joe Weatherly. During his 37 years as an active owner, Moore's cars won 63 races.
Perhaps the most remarkable statistic to his credit is associated with 1963 rookie of the year Billy Wade, who got his first win aboard a Moore car in 1964, then backed it up with an additional three consecutive wins, a record that still stands. Wade, clearly a rising star, was killed that same year testing tires at Daytona.
For his accomplishments, Moore was enshrined in NASCAR's Hall of Fame as part of its second class in 2011.
NASCAR's Casey Mears relives his childhood with a 1923 Ford roadster
Photos by Jim Fluharty of NASCAR Illustrated.
For NASCAR's Casey Mears, the family car that stood out the most from his childhood was a 1923 Ford track roadster, built in 1982 and purchased by his father, Roger, in the early 1980s. Casey remembered the car because, even at age 5, he was able to reach the pedals; later, it would be one of the cars he drove to high school. The Ford was sold off by Roger around 1996, but Casey never gave up his mission of tracking the car down, and it returned to Mears family ownership in 2007.
Blame his love for the open-wheel roadster on his early racing experience as well. Though Casey is best known for his career in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series, his start in racing came in karts, followed by Sprint cars, where Casey captured the USAC championship in just his second season behind the wheel. About the time his dad, Roger, was selling the 1923 Ford, Casey was trying to carve out a career in open-wheel racing, competing in the IndyLights series (where he'd finish second in the 1999 championship). In 2000, he finished fourth in his CART debut, driving for Team Rahal at California Speedway, and the following season he ran in the Indy Racing League before finishing his year in the CART series as a substitute driver for the injured Alex Zanardi.
By the time Casey found the 1923 Ford roadster in 2007, he was well established as a NASCAR driver, which gave him the resources needed to reacquire the car. As for modifications, Casey had the interior redone and added wheels that were more "period correct," but even the professional racer admits that the 289-cu.in. Ford V-8 makes plenty of horsepower in its current state. In his own words, "the thing flies," the usual outcome of stuffing a tuned V-8 into a car that consists of little more than a frame, a few body panels and wheels.
As Mears points out in the video, his daughter is now about the same age he was when his father first purchased the car. His son is a few years away from reaching the pedals, but it's a safe bet that both will ask for the keys once they're old enough to drive. In good weather, there are certainly worse cars to drive back and forth to high school.

Richard Petty to drive his Plymouth Belvedere up the hill at Goodwood

Though currently enshrined in the Richard Petty Museum, the Belvedere that King Richard drove to earn that nickname and set records on his way to his second championship in 1967 will once again pound pavement – with Petty at the wheel, no less – when it makes its way over to England for a run up Goodwood Hill at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
In reality, Richard Petty didn't drive a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere during the season that saw him win 27 of 48 races – more than 56 percent of the Grand National races he entered. Instead, Petty campaigned his 1966 Belvedere, updated to look like the 1967 model, and in two seasons the Race Hemi-powered car produced a grand total of 36 victories with Petty behind the wheel.
When the car was loaned to the NASCAR Hall of Fame for a two-year appearance in 2008, Petty recalled that, "The Plymouth Belvedere was a special car. Back then we usually found a car that was good on short tracks or speedways or dirt tracks, but not many that were good everywhere. That Plymouth was fast no matter where we ran." Chances are good it will prove to be fast up the narrow road that traverses Lord March's estate, too, where the car is sure to be a hit with those unaccustomed to the glory days of NASCAR racing.
Fellow American Al Unser will also be on hand for a run up the hill in his 1978 Penske Lola-Cosworth, the car that delivered Unser's third (of four) Indianapolis 500 wins. Joining Petty and Unser will be an all-star team of international drivers on hand for exhibition runs, including Emerson Fittipaldi, John Surtees, Sebastian Loeb, Tom Kristensen, Emanuele Pirro, Derek Bell, Henri Pescarolo and Mark Webber.
This year's Goodwood Festival of Speed will run from June 26-29, and carries the theme of "Addicted to Winning." For additional information, visit Goodwood.co.uk.

NASCAR racers all drive muscle cars, right?
Darrell Wallace Jr's 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. Still image from video below.
Darrell Wallace Jr. has only been racing in NASCAR since 2012, but the rising star has already amassed an impressive resume in both the Nationwide Series (where he raced in 2012) and in the Camping World Truck Series (where he's been racing since 2013). With one win, two poles and 15 top-10 finishes to his credit, one would think the Kyle Busch Racing driver spends his down time behind the wheel of a Corvette, a Dodge Challenger SRT8 or perhaps a Shelby GT500, but one would be wrong. His off-track weekend toy is a restored 1967 Volkswagen Beetle.
As this video from NASCAR Illustrated (a corporate cousin of Hemmings Motor News) shows us, Wallace was on the lookout for a restored Beetle when he came across this lightly customized example. The Beetle wasn't offered with this car's distinctive red with black livery in 1967, and the roof-mounted cargo carrier likely came out of an aftermarket accessory catalog and not from a dealer's inventory. Likewise, the empty trunk up top was a retro touch added by Wallace after his purchase, and the driver admits to dropping the Volkswagen's ride height by two inches (for now, anyway, as an airbag suspension is planned for the future).
Wallace calls driving and showing vintage cars "fun," though it's clear that not all of his peers share his passion for older Volkswagen models. While he has further modification plans for the Beetle, he's already on the lookout for a vintage Volkswagen bus to add to his collection, which makes perfect sense to us. Given that he's a Camping World Truck Series driver, could a gray market Volkswagen DoKa pickup be next on his list?
Lost Cars of the 1980s – Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2
1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Photos courtesy of GM Media Archives.
By the mid-1980s, GM was growing tired of conceding high-speed oval races to the aerodynamically superior Ford Thunderbird. In response, both Chevrolet and Pontiac went back to the drawing board, independently, to produce a G-body coupe with improved high-speed stability. On the Pontiac side of the business, the result was the 1986 Grand Prix 2+2, a car that should have been treasured for its exclusivity and NASCAR tie-in, yet never really managed to find an audience.
Like some legendary cars before it (the "winged warrior" Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird, and the Ford Torino Talladega), the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 was a homologation special, built in limited numbers exclusively so that teams could run the body style in NASCAR Winston Cup competition. As Jeff Koch explained in the March 2007 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, only 1,225 examples of the Grand Prix 2+2 were built, and production was limited to the 1986 model year; these factors alone should have created waiting lists and price gouging for such an exclusive bit of NASCAR history.
As period magazines were quick to point out, however, the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 wasn't exactly perceived as stylish, and priced at approximately $18,210 (roughly $2,000 more than its fraternal twin, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe), it didn't fall into the "affordable" category, either. Had the car's performance been exceptional, these shortcomings probably would have been overlooked, but the 2+2 came to market with a 305-cu.in. LG4 V-8 engine, fed by a single four-barrel carburetor and rated at just 165 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. Though a Positraction rear end came as standard equipment, the rear 3.08:1 gearing favored top speed (or, perhaps, fuel economy) over quicker acceleration. Performance data reflected this, with the 2+2 strolling through the quarter mile in 17.7 seconds, at a speed of
114 80 MPH. The run from 0-60 MPH took 10.2 seconds, which even by period standards hardly made the 2.2 a muscle car.
Though it's likely that few production 2+2 owners ever exercised their cars on Daytona's high banks, those who did would have realized that the car's big dividends came in high-speed stability. The massive rear glass used on the 2+2, which sloped down to meet the oversize spoiler on the trunk lid, changed the car's aerodynamic profile dramatically, eliminating rear lift at high speeds. The sloping nose and front fenders also changed the way the 2+2 sliced through the air, lowering the car's coefficient of drag from 0.453 on a conventional Pontiac Grand Prix to 0.368 on the Grand Prix 2+2. The advantage was clear in racing, as drivers piloting Pontiac 2+2-bodied racers (or, for that matter, Monte Carlo Aerocoupe-bodied racers) no longer had to lift off the throttle in high speed corners. Suddenly, teams running Ford products found themselves with mirrors full of GM G-bodies at the larger oval tracks.
As a car designed primarily for aerodynamic reasons, the 2+2 also had a few other shortcomings. The massive rear window distorted vision and likely acted as an effective greenhouse, making summertime drives in warmer climates a less than optimal proposition for rear seat passengers. As the rear window trailed down to a very small trunk lid, access to luggage space was compromised even though the 2+2 had the same size trunk as a standard Grand Prix. Had the rear seats been designed to fold, giving access to the space, this may have been just a minor complaint, but the rear seats were fixed in place, adding another strike against the Pontiac (especially for shoppers in need of a daily driver that could haul groceries). Interior trim fit and finish reportedly wasn't up to GM's normal standards, either, which probably didn't sit well with buyers already struggling to justify a higher sticker price.
Shortcomings aside, the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 and the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe represent perhaps the last examples of inter-divisional homologation rivalry within the halls of GM. While both were designed and built with the same purpose in mind, each took a slightly different approach to achieving this goal. The Pontiac's rear glass, for example, was developed in a wind tunnel, and then shaped as necessary to accommodate production. The Monte Carlo's rear window was shaped in the studio, and then adapted to racing use. As such, the rear windows are similar in style, but not interchangeable, and the approach to front-end design is significantly different between the two G-body coupes. The Monte Carlo even came to market with a different version of the 305-cu.in. V-8, one that produced 180 horsepower and 225 pound feet of torque. Lower gearing made the Chevrolet a bit quicker to 60 MPH as well as about a second and a half quicker through the quarter-mile.
The Chevrolet was considerably cheaper, too, priced at roughly $2,000 less than the Pontiac. On the other hand, virtually all Pontiac 2+2 models came optioned out, featuring amenities such as power door locks; tinted windows; intermittent wipers; air conditioning; cruise control; an AM/FM stereo cassette audio system; a deluxe instrument cluster with tachometer; 15-inch Rally II wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT tires; a four-speed automatic transmission (with overdrive); and a heavy-duty cooling system. All production 2+2 models came finished in silver with a charcoal lower, split by a red body stripe, though a few were reportedly built in a maroon finish for corporate executives.
Even Pontiac dealers did their best to avoid taking inventory, knowing that an oddly styled coupe with an ambitious sticker price and only moderate performance would be a tough sell. Many of the 2+2 models built were sold from factory auction, which may be one reason why the Pontiac lasted only through the 1986 model year. As for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe, it was produced for two years, with the factory building just 200 examples for 1986, but 6,052 copies for 1987. Perhaps it was the Chevrolet's more mainstream styling, its lower price point or its (slightly) better performance, but the Monte Carlo variant seemed to have few problems finding its market.
A new and aerodynamically enhanced Pontiac Grand Prix body style appeared for the 1988 model year, and Chevrolet replaced the Monte Carlo SS with the Lumina body style in NASCAR competition a few years later. The Pontiac 2+2 and the Monte Carlo Aerocoupe had served their purpose, helping to make GM more competitive on NASCAR's high speed ovals, but only the most diehard fans of both NASCAR and GM seemed to take note.
New icons line NASCAR's Glory Road

The unquestioned centerpiece of NASCAR's Hall of Fame in downtown Charlotte is Glory Road, a great hall lined with stock cars that represent more than 60 years of NASCAR history. Last week, Glory Road completed its first major change, with a total of 18 new historic stock cars installed as part of the exhibit.
Those cars, listed in chronological order over all six "generations" of NASCAR stock car, are Marshall Teague's 1952 Hudson Hornet; Buck Baker's 1957 Chevrolet 150 Black Widow; the famed Wood Brothers' 1961 Ford Starliner; Fred Lorenzen's 1966 Ford Galaxie Banana Car, as built by the legendary Junior Johnson, a Hall of Fame inductee; Ned Jarrett's 1966 Ford Fairlane; David Pearson's 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Talladega; Bobby Allison's 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle; Cale Yarborough's 1976 Chevrolet Laguna S-3; Richard Petty's 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo; Darrell Waltrip's 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe; Dale Earnhardt's 1990 Chevrolet Lumina; Jeff Gordon's 1994 Chevrolet Lumina; Rusty Wallace's 2000 Ford Taurus; Bill Elliott's 2001 Dodge Intrepid R/T; Jimmie Johnson's 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS; Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s 2008 Chevrolet Impala SS; Tony Stewart's 2011 Chevrolet Impala, and Matt Kenseth's 2013 Toyota Camry.
If you're in Charlotte this week, you're in luck, as the city is hosting a big pre-season blast with the fifth annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Wednesday, January 29, honoring new inductees Tim Flock, Jack Ingram, Dale Jarrett, Maurice Petty and Fireball Roberts. Ticket prices range from $45 for general admission to $350 for an exclusive Driver Dinner Package. There's also the Sprint Cup Media Tour and the National Motorsport Press Association's annual awards banquet, plus a special Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday, February 1, when admission fees to the hall will be waived. Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin and Greg Biffle will headline a group of more than 20 NASCAR national series drivers scheduled to interact with fans. Several NASCAR Hall of Famers, including 2014 inductees Ingram, Jarrett and Petty, will also be on hand. Fans will have free access on a first-come, first-served basis in lieu of needing a ticket. However, fans need to secure free tickets for the driver autograph sessions in advance.

Mopar celebrates 50 years of the 426 Hemi engine
The legendary 426 Hemi. Photos courtesy Chrysler.
In February 1964 at the Daytona 500, Chrysler unleashed a new engine for teams running Dodge and Plymouth cars in NASCAR's Grand National series. Though the Chrysler-powered racers had previously been uncompetitive on superspeedways, the new 426-cu.in. Hemi V-8 was a game-changer, and the 1964 Daytona 500 saw 426 Hemi-powered cars cross the finish line in first, second and third position, as well as claim two more spots in the top 10. Though few spectators realized it at the time, they witnessed the birth of an engine that would become a performance legend on racetracks, drag strips and back streets across America, and would inspire a year-long celebration of the engine half a century later.
The hemispherical-head engine didn't originate with Chrysler, and the 426 Hemi was not the brand's first engine of this design. Hemispherical heads had been in use in European race engines back to the turn of the century, while Chrysler's first generation hemi-head engine lasted from 1951 through 1958, ultimately dropped in favor of wedge-head V-8s that were comparable in power but lighter, easier and less expensive to build. By 1962, however, Chrysler was looking for a way to gain the upper hand in NASCAR Grand National competition, and a directive came down from new Chrysler president Lynn Townshend after
Pontiacs Fords dominated the 1963 Daytona 500: Chrysler would have an engine that would win the 1964 Daytona 500.
A drawing of
the 426 a Hemi cylinder head, showing the layout of its oversize valves.
Chrysler engineers, led by drag racer Tom Hoover, decided to modify Chrysler's existing RB-block 426 Max Wedge engine with the company's earlier hemi-head design, which offered significant advantages over conventional cylinder head design. First, the hemi design offered better volumetric efficiency, and the domed shape allowed for the use of larger intake and exhaust valves. Because the valves were located opposite one another in the head, the flow of both the fuel/air mixture and the spent exhaust gasses faced less restriction, and a better-breathing engine is capable of producing more power. Even restricted to a single four-barrel carburetor by NASCAR rules, the 426 Hemi engine was rated at a very conservative 400 horsepower, which became all the more questionable as the season progressed.
After the engine's dominant performance at Daytona, teams running other engines began to cry foul. When Richard Petty went on to claim eight victories (including the Daytona 500) in 1964, capturing the championship by a large margin, NASCAR was left with no alternative but to ban the 426 Hemi from competition in the 1965 season. Its logic was simple: NASCAR (at the time) was about racing with engines you could buy in a dealer's showroom, and that was not (yet) the case with the 426 Hemi.
One of 80 1968 Plymouth Barracudas built with the 426 Race Hemi.
With the NASCAR Grand National series off the table in 1965, Chrysler turned to drag racing the 426 Hemi. Don Garlits had already proven the engine in quarter-mile competition, using it to break the 200 MPH barrier with a run of 7.78 seconds at 201.34 MPH. A new NHRA altered-wheelbase class proved to be the ideal outlet to showcase the 426 Hemi's advantages, and the "funny car" class quickly exploded in popularity among both fans and competitors.
In 1966, Chrysler released a 426-cu.in. "Street" Hemi, available as an optional engine in B-body Dodges and Plymouths – Plymouth's Belvedere and Dodge's Coronet and Charger – and NASCAR once again allowed the engine back into Grand National competition. Compared to the engine used in Richard Petty's Plymouth, which ran an impressive 12.5:1 compression ration, the street Hemi engines were built with a far more modest 10.5:1 compression ratio, a milder camshaft, cast-iron exhaust manifolds and an aluminum intake manifold that was topped by a pair of Carter four-barrel carburetors. In street trim, the engine was rated at an output of 425 horsepower, though a few simple modifications could easily push it beyond 500 horsepower.
With the Street Hemi successfully launched, Chrysler did away with the "Race" Hemi previously supplied to top-level NHRA teams, instead substituting a Street Hemi that teams could build to meet their needs. The exceptions to this rule were a pair of limited-production vehicles produced in 1968 only, when Chrysler, in partnership with Hurst, built a limited number of Plymouth Barracudas and Dodge Darts powered by a 426 Race Hemi.
Though Chrysler discontinued the 426 Hemi in 1971, it remains around today in various forms, thanks to its continued use in NHRA competition and aftermarket shops like Keith Black Racing Engines that have since taken on limited-scale production of the Hemi.
To pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the second-generation 426 HEMI V-8, Chrysler announced this week that it will kick off a year-long nationwide celebration tied to various events including key NHRA races, the Carlisle Mopar Nationals and the 2014 Autorama in Detroit, Michigan. The Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, has also announced plans to celebrate the Hemi at its 2014 event. Check back here for the complete list of events once Chrysler releases it.

Imprecise Clinical Objectives Create Serious Problems
What if you came in to see me, for example, as a family practice physician with a known heart problem, and I told you I was going to treat you with insulin? Scary.

The Space
The apartment is located in Little Italy AKA Far Mile End. It is on the second floor of a duplex, very spacious and comfortable. The apartment has 3 rooms, which means that there are min 3 people living in the house. There is a big living-room, 2 balconies, bathroom and a big kitchen. There is lots of space for everybody! =)
The place is great for tourists because of its great position. It is only 5 min away from the most famous market "Jean-Talon" & one of largest parks - Jarry Park (which has a free outside pool). The neighborhood has lots of nice bars and restaurants, stores and grocery stores. There is a 24h gas station 3 min away walking distance.
There are 2 metro stations in less than 10 min walking distance and the buss going downtown and to the old city is right in font of the building (15 min away from downtown). There are 2 Bixi stations in less than 5 min walk from the house (if u like to bike).
The house is fully furnished, has all the appliances and there is high speed internet. You can cook, do laundry, enjoy some time in the balcony...
The available room is fully furnished with everything that you need to be comfortable (closet, comfy double bed, desk, chair). You only need to bing your traveling bag :)
I am working and studying. I enjoy meeting new people, sharing a glass of wine and stories. I have hosted many people from different countries and we have always had a great time. Make me a part of your trip, and I bet you won't regret it :)
Guest Access
Room, bathroom, kitchen, living room, balcony.
Interaction with Guests
I usually interact a lot with the guests. I love to sometimes have a glass of wine and dinner or to go out discover the city with them. It all depends on my available time.
The Neighborhood
My neighborhood has everything you can wish for: a beautiful park, a farmer's market, lots of stores and restaurants. It is a safe and quiet place.
Getting Around
There is a bus stop right in front of the house (the 55 bus during the day and 363 during the night). This bus goes downtown and to the old city.
Metro station De Castelnau (on the blue line) is 5 min away walking from the house.
Metro Station Jean-Talon ( on the orange line) is 10 min away walking distance from the house.
There are a few bixi bikes stations in the neighborhood and a car rental company on the corner of the street.
Other Things to Note
Please read the house rules =)
There are no parties allowed. However the guests can invite friends for dinners and hangouts if they have previously informed the host.
The guests have to clean after themselves in their private room as well as in the public space. Cleaning after themselves involves things like: cleaning the bathtub after they shower, cleaning the kitchen after they have used it, washing their plates and stove after using it, etc. There is no cleaning fee so pls keep in mind that we all share the space.
I really prefer not walking with the outside shoes in the house.
Please try to keep the noise to a minimum in the morning.
There is no cleaning fee so pls keep in mind that we all share the space.
Thank you for your cooperation =)

I stayed a little bit more than two months at Iulias place (February-April 2015) for my studies at the UdM and it was perfectly located for that. In fact for everything because you have also buses and nightbuses ;-) at st.laurent. The apartment is well equipped and offer everything to prepare your meals. Although the both of us were pretty occupied with work, Iulias and I spend some nice evenings and a funny winter day in Quebec City, thanks a lot.
I spent 4 months in Iulia's apartment. The flat was spacious, clean and contained everything I needed. The location was wonderful: the metro station is really close and this is great during the winter. The room was nice and cozy. Iulia is a nice, frindly and sweet person! I felt at home from the very beginning of my stay!
The flat is spacious and wonderfully situated in the heart of Little Italy which makes morning walks to the market as well as really good coffee a quick stroll away. The best part of staying here is Lulia who is very lovely, the kind of person you're lucky to meet in any new city.
I loved being Iulia's roommate. Because of her warm and welcoming attitude she helped me to feel at home from the very beginning of my stay.
The neighborhood is great, lots of cafés, restaurants, a market, a park, bus and subway nearby, just everything you need to fall in love with Montreal.
My room was clean and contained everything I needed, no luxury but cosy.
If you like cats you will also like Yogi, he is a crazy but lovely cat who likes to cuddle.
All in all I did never regret my decision to live in a shared flat during my two-months-stay, especially because of Iulia's company and the company of the other roommates I had throughout my stay there.
Thank you Iulia, I will miss you and my time in Montreal!
I stayed 5 months in Iulia's apartment and had some good and bad times there. + Iulia is a very nice person, who is always willing to help you with stuff; the apartment is located well, safe area, close to the metro and some shops; you can use quite everything that is in the apartment; the room i stayed in is quite nice, calm although it has its window to the street, furnished and gets some morning sun. - the apartment is not clean at all; the hair of the cat are almost everywhere; TV is not working; the doors and floor are quite old which makes you hear everything that is going on in the flat; Iulia was not there at my check in time and so was anyone else or any paper to explain me stuff. Overall i am sorry to say that but i can not recommend that apartment at all as i saw many better and newer flats in an even better area for a way better price.
Your comment came as a very big surprise, as you never told me about any of this issues. Regarding cleaning, it is very clearly stated in the house rules that you have to clean after yourself. I know that you felt upset because I asked you several times to respect a few house rules, but by leaving this comment you didn't solve anything. Communication is the key, and I'm sad that you didn't even try. If you really did not like staying here you were never forced to stay for 5 months. I hope that those that read this comment, will take the time to read all the other ones.
Iulia est une hôte très accueillante, gentille, serviable, généreuse.
L'appartement est calme, très bien placé prés du métro et du marché jean Talon, je m'y sent bien et en plus il y a Mr Yogi son adorable chat.
j'apprécie beaucoup Iulia ( et Yogi ), je suis contente d'avoir fait sa connaissance.
j'ai déjà prévu de revenir à Montréal et donc chez elle. :)
I stayed there for more than 2 months, it felt like leaving home at the end of my stay!
Iulia is an extremely generous and sociable person, she was an instant and continuous resource about all aspects of living in Montreal. Also, she's always willing to do any shared activities in her free time.
The room is cute and includes everything you need. The whole place was generally clean and shared facilities were comfortable and spacious enough no matter how many people stay there!
Location is good too, with few steps to bus station and access to two metro stations on orange and blue line. The room is very well priced (I'd list it for USD 20 - 25 per night if I were the host :P)
People who prefer to cook food would love Jean Talon Market! it's the biggest of its kind in Montreal. People who prefer to just eat won't be disappointed at all! some of the best restaurants in montreal are few minutes away, and virtually all cuisines are covered.
This host has 25 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
About the Host, Iulia
Hi there! My name is Iulia. I am a girl in her late 20ies. I am friendly and laid-back. I enjoy spending time with friends, having interesting conversations, meeting new people and traveling. I also like to cook and eat healthy.
I have been living in Montreal for over 8 years and I love it here! It is a great mix of different cultures and friendly people. There is always something interesting and fun to do in this city!
I work for an interior design company and I am completing a Master degree in Human Resources at McGill University.
I speak English, French, Spanish and Romanian. So we can communicate in any of these :)
Don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have and I hope to see you soon! :)

DENVER (AP) — Denver police were searching for evidence as they investigated the fatal shooting of a policewoman on Sunday at a city park where families had gathered for a free weekly jazz concert.
Police arrested a man and charged him with gun possession, but they don't believe he's the shooter.
At least three shots were fired Sunday shortly after the jazz band playing on a lake-side pavilion stage finished.
The park remained closed Monday while police searched for more evidence.
At least three shots were fired shortly after the jazz band playing on a lakeside pavilion stage finished, sending waves of people running through park grounds. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the officer was shot in the head and died at a hospital.
She was a single mother who had been with the department since 2005.
More than 1,000 people were at the City Park Jazz concert, the fourth of 10 shows scheduled for this summer in the annual series that draws families and people of all backgrounds to one of the city's more popular summer events. Mayor Michael Hancock said late Sunday that the concerts should continue.
"We will not surrender what we consider special in this city to anyone," Mr.Hancock said.
Nakira Doss, a jazz singer herself, said she hopes the series continues. The 28-year-old mother was at the show Sunday and sitting near the stage with her children, ages 4, 5 and 7, when she heard at least two shots. As people ran past, she said told her children to "get on the ground" and then she lay over them.
"I'm trying to show them music, but at what cost," she said, nodding toward her own children.
City Park is one Denver's most famous and sprawls across several hundred acres east of downtown. It holds the Denver Zoo and Museum of Nature and Science, as well as ponds, trails and recreational fields.
After shots rang out, scores of people ran from the northwest side of the pond and stage area, confusing crowds on the south side of the pond who were still lingering over conversation and picnics in lawn chairs and blankets. Someone announced from a loudspeaker onstage that the park was closed and told park goers to leave from the south side.
Samuel Bell, 19, of Denver said he was in the parking lot looking for a space for his scooter, which police later cordoned off with yellow tape. He said he heard several shots.
"We just arrived at the park. It was crowded; it was looking fun," Mr. Bell said. "And then 'pa-pa-pa-pa' out of nowhere.
"We just ducked," Mr. Bell said. "We pulled off in enough time to get away. It was crazy."
He said he saw police officers administering CPR. He estimated he was about 10 to 20 feet away from where the officer was shot.
Associated Press writers Rema Rahman and Thomas Peipert contributed to this report.

Massive coronal hole on the Sun is more than 50 Earths across
Leave it to NASA to take an amazing photo of the Sun. Using the Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA has obtained a stunning photo of a humongous coronal hole on the Sun.
How big? The space agency says that the coronal hole is more than 50 Earths across. It certainly isn't difficult to spot in the picture. This coronal hole is located in the upper left side of the SDO's image.
Coronal holes were first seen in fantastic detail in pictures snapped by astronauts traveling on board the Skylab space station in the 1970s. Coronal holes are created when the Sun's magnetic field opens up to interplanetary space. The outflow of material causes a region of the solar corona to become less dense and cooler than its environment.
NASA says that this coronal hole is about 400,000 miles across. It's also spewing out solar wind that is traveling at approximately 400-500 miles per second, which is twice the speed of the normal solar wind that flows from the Sun into the solar system.
Now, astronomers know a little bit more about coronal holes than they did before they were imaged in excellent detail in the 1970s. They know that both the size and number of coronal holes is linked to the Sun's solar cycle. When the solar cycle nears its maximum, the coronal holes are closer to the Sun's poles.
More recently, NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory and ESA/NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spotted an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection. According to the space agency, a CME is a solar event that can eject billions of tons of particles into space than can impact Earth several days later. While these particles are unable to make their way through the atmosphere to impact humans, they can affect space-based and ground-based communications systems.

Fabric Ghosts Offer Lasting Boos!
By: Shannon Staker for Shannon makes stuff
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Shannon Staker's ghost how-to offers a lasting Halloween decoration idea that can be used and re-used year after year. Ghosts made of fabric, rather than tissue, are durable and just as frightening.
- Extra thick thread
- Two googly eyes
- Two square pieces of fabric (suggested: 15 inches by 15 inches)
- Needle
- Place a square piece of fabric on the ground.
- Grab the second piece of fabric and bunch it all up into a ball.
- Place the rolled up fabric in the center of the square piece.
- Grab the bunched up fabric from underneath the square piece and let the loose fabric hang down straight.
- Grab the fabric tight in your fingers.
- Tie a string aroung the entire neck. Pull as tight as you can, without breaking your thread.
- Take your threaded needle and slide in through the top of the ghosts head.
- Tie it into a knot and cut the thread about 16 inches or so depending on how low you want them to hang from what you are hanging them from.
- Use hot glue and glue on some beady eyes.
- There you have it, a friendly cloth ghost!
- Now grab your helper and head outside.
- Add one to your wreath for a fresh Halloween look.
- Hang a bunch and there you have it a ghost tree.

We have been notified of a new phone scam targeting MasterCard users. The automated message reports that a customer's MasterCard has been shut down and asks them to enter their card number and expiration date. The call appears to be coming from 817-916-54 (which is not a complete phone number), listed to exist in Roanoke, Texas. This scam appears to be a blanket attempt to scam MasterCard users from various financial institutions, and is not solely targeted at First Interstate Bank customers.
Please do not disclose your card number or provide any personal/account information over the phone. First Interstate Bank would never contact customers over text message to ask for such information. If you have any questions about this or any other text message scams, please contact your local First Interstate Bank branch or our Corporate Security office at 406-237-2702.

29 year old woman | Turner, ME, USA | Seeking men 27-36 within 50 miles
Single and Motivated
I am a single mother of a 3 year old little boy. I recently bought a house, and the last few months have been about getting the house ready for us to live in. I work full time as a supervisor for a medical billing company. I love to have fun, I enjoy being silly, laughing, and spending time with the person I am with. I want someone that likes to be spontaneous. Someone who won't laugh at the idea of going bowling, and loves to be outside. If we feel like going for a drive all day, we will. I hope to attract someone who is motivated but has a good work-life balance, and will be a good influence on my son.

Some other viewpoint
I don't really have a favorite place.
I pretty much answered this in another section, but I will try anything once. I love staying busy. Bowling, four wheeling, camping, fishing, skydiving, boating, hiking, etc.
In my free time I love to camp, four wheel, snowmobile, go apple picking, and just have fun. If I don't have plans I enjoy being spontaneous, and thinking of something to do that day to pass the time. I will try anything once.
The last thing I read was the 50 Shades of Grey series.

Vicki Walker went above and beyond in all efforts related to our home sale. We reside in Southern California, so Vicki had to do quite a bit of additional work in order tp ensure a smooth sale. She handled a Salvation Army pick-up, removal of items from an outside storage unit, coordianting with a roommate, etc. She did eveything with professionalism and a cheerful can do attitude. She was amazing and I would highly recommend her!

Ratings & Reviews
After a 35 year absence, I moved back to California from the east coast. Vicki Walker was invaluable in helping me to locate and purchase a home between semi-monthly trips between the coasts. She was very responsive to my emails/calls and on top of listings as soon as they became available. More than just my agent, she was my eyes, ears, and spokesperson, often contacting the buyer to ask my questions or visit the home for additional measurements. With Vicki's help, I purchased a home in March, 2010, six weeks after our initial meeting. With three other people bidding on the house, Vicki negotiated the sale without the need of a bidding war! Thank you, Vicki, for your expertise, warmth, and friendship! Rita
Vicki Walker is a wonderful professional. She is also a warm, gracious
and charming person. Vicki knows her profession like noone I have ever
met. Her professionalism, expertise and dependability are very rare.
Looking to buy an expensive second home in Davis, CA when one lives in
Lexington, MA, was for my husband and myself a very worrying thought.
Our biggest concern was to find a professional who knew Davis and the
region well, and who could point out for us the advantages as well as
the drawbacks of each area. Vicki did that beautifully for us. We were
also hoping to find a broker whom we could really trust. From the very
beginning, my husband and I were impressed with her candor, ethics and
her willingness to help us to find the home we would be happy in. As
we got to know Vicki, we felt that we were dealing with a trusted
friend, rather than with a professional we had just met. Thank you
Vicki, for being who you are!
In addition, Vicki also helped our son and daughter-in-law to find a home they could afford close to the UC Davis campus. She guided them with patience through the worrisome process of first-time buyers.
In summary, the Weaver family has the highest regard for Vicki Walker as a very capable, dependable, extremely knowledgeable professional, and a very gracious lady. We recommend Vicki Walker very highly.
Lin Weaver
Easy to talk to and listens well to your buying requirements. Enjoys her job and working with clients. Nice person to be around.

French Tabloid Removes Topless Duchess Kate Photos from Its Site
Us Weekly
That's not quite the mea culpa Duchess Kate was looking for.
Still, French tabloid The Closer -- which published photographs of a sunbathing, topless Duchess Kate, taken with a long lens on private property Friday -- has removed the controversial images from its website.
PHOTOS: Inside Prince William and Duchess Kate's first year of marriage
"Following comments received after the publication of photos of Kate and William in Closer magazine France, we would like to make the following clarifications: This is the French edition of Closer and not the English edition. The photos we chose are by no means degrading. They show a young couple on vacation, beautiful, in love, living a normal life. The article reports that the couple recently vacationed in the south of France," a statement from the mag reads.
Following the release of the images, a source close to the royal couple told Us Weekly that Will and Kate, both 30, are "furious," and are taking legal action against the publication.
PHOTOS: How Duchess Kate prepared for life as a royal
"St. James' Palace confirms that legal proceedings for breach of privacy have been commenced today in France by the duke and duchess of Cambridge against the publishers of Closer Magazine France," a palace rep said Thursday.

Across a window, of course. I'm not a big fan of the tots, but this is pretty damn cute.
What I'm Reading Now
The Pillars of the Earth
This spellbinding epic, set in twelfth-century England, tells the story of the lives entwined in the building of the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known -- and a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, brother against brother. The ambitions of three men merge, conflict, and collide through 40 years of social and political upheaval as internal church politics affect the progress of the cathedral and the fortunes of the protagonists.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

Rating: 5.0

Horseracing coverage is currently split between the commercial channel, which broadcasts coverage 80 days a year, and the BBC, which owns the rights to big races such as the John Smith's Grand National.
Dubai is the existing sponsor of Channel 4's coverage in a two-year deal that expires on 31 December, mirroring Channel 4's current deal with horseracing's rights holders.
According to Racing UK, a range of broadcasters were involved in "a highly competitive bidding process". However, a Channel 4 spokeswoman claimed reports that the four-year deal was worth between £15m and £20m, "were wildly off the mark".
The new deal gives Channel 4 90 days of coverage a year and the ability to broadcast every day of big meetings such as the Grand National and Royal Ascot, and the finale of flat racing's Qipco British Champions Series.
Jamie Aitchison, Channel 4's sports editor, said: "This is an opportunity for us to work together [with the horseracing industry] to grow the sport, painting the full picture of both the flats and jumps seasons to attract new viewers, while rewarding those loyal viewers we value so highly."
Channel 4's coverage attracted 42.2 million viewers during 2011, nearly five million higher than 2010, according to Racing UK.
