I'm still looking for a gallery of photos of this Bonneville record setting kombi VW microbus


Very cool photography style, different photographers, great musclecars


the Mustang photo came from http://goodoldvalves.tumbler.com/ but I didn't mark where I got the Challenger photo from

1930's? motorcycle soccer

I didn't record the source... sorry!

John Noonan broke the motorcycle speed record at El Mirage on his Hayabusa, 242 mph

thanks to Bruce from JBA for the photo! See the terrific gallery Bruce has on the JBA website http://extremejba.jbaracing.com/index.php/2010/05/21/scta-season-opener-at-el-mirage-dry-lake/#respond

Gotta be photoshopped, there's no way they'd take an F1 racecar onto a beach

Did they plow the snow with this Subaru?

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Transformers 3

Megan Fox may have left the Transformers movie franchise, but there's no time to be sad, because Director Michael bay already hired Rosie Huntington-Whiteley the diva:


Transformers 3 will be Rosie Huntington-Whiteley 's debut as actress, she was model for Victoria Secret, that's how she met Michael Bay who directed one of their commercials.

By the way, did you spot the nugget in the clip above?

Transformers 3 logoThe first official title treatment of Transformers 3!

the Bean Bandit Ford Mainline, #296 XF/PRO, because it doesn't wear pretty paint doesn't mean it isn't cool and fast. I love patina'd old race cars




The above shot had me recalling the pose that Snoopy strikes as his alter ego, Joe Cool









An unchopped belly tank, ready to go under the sawzall, and become a dry lake legend





Car club plaques on the back of one of Gene Winfield's race car



can someone tell me what causes highways and freeways to have designated "Safety Corridors" with traffic fines doubled?

I found lots of these in Arizona, and only have ever seen one here in California. I couldn't see any reason for these sections to have any difference from the mile before or after.

Are they just money makers? Double the fines, get cops to heavily patrol those areas, and rack up revenue from speeders?

Full speed on the dry lake bed at El Mirage in the attempt to break the record for fastest in their class















For another perspective and a terrific gallery of the race cars see extremeJBA gallery http://extremejba.jbaracing.com/index.php/2010/05/21/scta-season-opener-at-el-mirage-dry-lake/#respond

A variety of cool looking stuff at El Mirage

Very plain fold out seats made into cool art by pinstriping and adding car emblems


































A grease monkey, first depictive artwork I've seen of one
