I won’t disagree with the department of education reference.

But ask yourself the question:

Who was responsible for creating it staffing it and who were running the schools by that point. 20- and 30-somethingsomething former 60s hippie radicals.

Who the hell do you think is running the Senate and the deep state now? All these septagenarian fruit bats are former Woodstock acid washed hippies who infiltrated government and are trying to create their shining path before they die.

And huge numbers of them were compromised by the KGB back in the 1960s. Because through the US Canada Institute and other fronts, the Soviet union was massively driving the peace movement and the drug movement and all the other radicals.

Yep, it took them until the 1970s. And then another 40 years to get to where they run everything. But make no mistake about it. These are fullbore communist radicals at every level.

Fortunately, they’re all going to die soon. Of old age. And I have a lot of faith in Gen X and their ability to bring us back from the brink.

Cheers.

Syndactyly!! What a cool way to make humor of your birth defect!
Funny story
In the 70s ( I was about 10 Yo) my grandparents neighbors had a daughter about my age and I would go visit in the summer for a couple of weeks. We would hang out and play together. One day she whispered in my ear that she had a secret and wanted to show me something.. Well my imagination ran wild, Then she took off her tennis shoes and showed me her toes. She had Polydactyly, 6 toes on one foot and 7 on the other.
To this day I am still kinda fuckered up because of that. To this day if I see a woman's bare feet I have to count their toes.

Would that be during the days of Calvin Coolidge?

So that would have been on State Line? You love the XJ6 S3? They spanned a lot of years.
You mentioned golf balls but never mentioned the condition of the inner liner of the tire as I suspect could have been a heat issue. Also, you never addressed the year nor the tire brand, I have very little to go on.
There was Major and that was down on Main getting close to downtown. The other one was Roach. I actually worked at both, along with a VW, Chevy and Pontiac dealers. Finally I ended up at Pontiac proper
 
I so want to go see that race sometime. But it is an absolute circus and just getting a tent site is ridiculous.

So... going to watch on TV. I think Vintage LeMans might be more fun.

BTW, the 24 Hours of Daytona is absolutely the best race I ever went to. So much fun. No crowds. And great time of year to not be in New England.

Was that before or after NASCAR ruined it?
 
You forgot the Cadillac 8-6-4.

Also known as the 8-6-4-Zero...

That one was before my time, the HT4100 was out when I was there. We said the HT stood for Huge Turd.

FOR ITS TIME.....Northstar was a fairly good engine. And I think it is what broke Caddy away from the GM bean counters, never again would we be subject to this.....

The idiots actually said, it is like a 3 series. Why I did not last long at corp.

A guy I worked with had a mid 60s Ford Falcon wagon he drove every day. One day maybe 6 of us are standing around and ford guy makes to leave. Falcon won’t start. So he pops the hood to look. One of the younger guys says “I wonder what’s wrong?” 3 of us in unison say “That’s how you start a Ford”.

Ah…good times.

Having driven more then my share of shit boxes jumping the solenoid on an old ford is much more easy then on a GM.

??? Isle of Mann TT is awesome. But so many people descend on it… it’s just nuts.

24 Hours of Daytona has zero to do with NASCAR. Except it is run in Daytona on the Road Course built into the Speedway. Amazing racing… all kinds of cars from experimental to independent.

Runs 2 weeks before Daytona 500 time trials begin. No crowds. Totally an amazing time!

Yeah, done with NASCAR and their contrived soap opera of left turns.

Go back several years, when the Daytona Prototypes came on scene. They replaced the le mans prototypes that had been the thing for decades. Why the change?

This is when it died to me, and I have not followed it from that day to now.

The DP's are (IMHO) following the NASCAR spec- series racing that nascar has become. If you like that all and good. If you like the innovation then not so good. This is why you don't see the same cars at le mans running in any of these races anymore.

To me it looked like they took nascar, le mans, Can-am, tossed it all in a bag to mix it all up and out fell a Daytona prototype. The first years are not kind to the DP's not even taking the over all win at Daytona their first year, so nascar does what nascar does and cripple the under classes to make their preferred classes faster. Then the TV coverage basically switched to only the DP class and not the "production based" cars. I was done. It is nascar on a road course.

Back in the day it was all busted out into different bodies, now not so much.

Back when I was racing, I ran in the SCCA, NASA was just then really getting going and IMSA was for the guys with deep pockets. SCCA was on the slide down and NASA was on the way up. Lots of club drivers, IMHO what is keeping, or at the time kept SCCA afloat (not the cone crashers) started to really jump ship for NASA. They took our Lic, passed our cars, it was no big deal at all to run both bodies at the time.

This is also the height of the power of NASCAR, and they started to grab other bodies, and form it into what Bill, and later coke head Brian France wanted it to be. Only issue was no one know what the hell Brian france was thinking. And that was the start of the slide for them.

I babbled.

Had an invite to Sebring, but I did not want to haul my car down there, looking back should have done it.

I don't watch Nascar but they are making some changes.
