Craigslist Candy - Be a Gucci Man in This 1973 AMC Hornet 06/08/2017 You might think that a 1973 AMC Hornet Wagon would be the most unlikely car to be endorsed by fashion house Gucci, but you'd be wrong if you did.

Twisted Thoughts - Two Home Run Events in New England 06/08/2017 Sunday nights and Mondays are always interesting times to lurk on social media when you are involved in the racing industry. That is when people start to open up, often unfiltered, about their experiences at the racetrack over the past weekend. Often you can find complaints, trash talk, excuses and maybe even a threat or two. There is positive feedback as well, but usually that is a bit harder to find. The positives were easy to find after this past weekend though. Two big racing events
