On twitter: (paraphrasing) If GM itself was run with the same expertise of the GM Racing program, there would be no troubles... yeah.

I can't really touch this level of thought. Bram has nailed this topic - in my opinion - and I can't add much. But I have some round-a bout thoughts that will eventually get me bak to NASCAR. Your thoughts are welcome too. ""Every car you can thi...

I have to go with you on ALMS and Grand Am, and also NHRA. I Don't think Suzuki and Buell are done, but I do believe, and I either dreamed it or actually read it somewhere, Harley is pulling out of racing altogether. You left out AMA, which is a b...

It's all good Bram. Thanks for responding to my call for help. I would really like to get this community fired up, but I am not very accomplished at the whole "social media" thing. I'm trying to learn though.

Hi Bram! Master Charles said you haven't been feeling well. Sorry to hear that. We miss you over here at Bench Racers. Take Care. I'll play a healing tune on my Chanter for you. :)

What kind of Bench Racer are you?
IRNMBSIL, Speedophile and Tight Insider
Are you a Robby Gordon fan?
Is this a trick question?
This is the Open Mike. Tell the Pit Crew about yo'self. Pretend I'm your bartender.
Old guy, long term, hard core racer. If you cut me , I bleed shocks, springs, sheet metal, high octane fuel with just a little ethanol and nitro mixed in for good measure. I'm as much about sportscars as I am stock cars and just as much about drag racing as I am open-wheel racing. I like fast stuff. It scares me that I actually how driver contracts work and I know the SAFER in "SAFER barrier" stands for. I know what a "coil-binding" set-up is and I know what "bump-stops" are and I know why they don't work on NASCAR's new Cup car.
If you have a blog or website, spread the word.

I was just thinking..

I recently wrote a piece spouting my views about racing, the US auto industry and the government's action that could very well destroy them both.

I'm watching for the responses from the big team owners regarding this subject matter, and Rick Hendrick , I think, is an incredibly naive (for the purpose of press quotes) and stupidly optomistic man.

A Race of Competition Cautions Breeds Very Little Competition at Indy

Angry fans, cautions every 11 laps for tires that were lasting about 6.

Drivers could only run their cars at about 80%.

The Indianapolis Speedway surface is a difficult surface to predict, hard to anticipate how the surface will take rubber and given the tire compound used today, the tire simply put out a dusty type of material and never filled in as it has in the past. Add that to the fact the CoT is a much harder car on right side tires, with its higher center of gravity; the mix was a perfe… Continue

Opinion: The "Toyota Rule Change", What it means.

In today's announcement from NASCAR R&D amending the Nationwide Series Rule Book: section 20A – 5.10.4 is amended as follows:

“At all Events, unless otherwise specified, all engines with a cylinder bore spacing less than 4.470 inches must compete using a tapered spacer with four (4) 1.125-inch diameter holes. At all Events, unless otherwise specified, all engines with a cylinder bore spacing of 4.470 inches or more must compete using a tapered spacer with four (4) 1.100-inch diameter holes.… Continue

One for the Bench Racers, with thanks to Charlie

Charlie Turner is a smart guy. He brings sharp people together to express their passions on the greatest spectacle in sports. Auto racing.

Charlie asked us to come up with a top five list of current Sprint Cup drivers. No easy task. I think alot of us took the easier road (if there is one).. Who is winning the most, who has won the most. And then whose shirt we wear thrown in for good measure.

Auto racing ranks right up with religion and politics in the 'let's argue this point' scale.

I start… Continue

Steve Peterson, It's been a pleasure...

During my brief tenure at Roush Fenway Racing in the latter 20th century, I got to meet and be around Steve Peterson.

He was a racer's racer at heart and in fact. You'd very often see him re-building shocks on practice days at the track, or countless other things that would go unnoticed to many caught up in the hustle and pressure of a successful racing weekend. You would find him looking for the extra edge to make the cars go faster.

He was all over the initiative, the task at hand.

The succ… Continue
