    digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Hand_Made_Hurricane'; What's in Northern Italy's water that leads industrious people to spend great portions of their lives building race cars? Who knows. Maybe the FIAs been pumping diolefin-rich racing fuel into Emilia-Romagnas reservoirs, thereby insinuating Formula One into the local tortellini Bolognese.

    That is a true car lover. That man has the passion to build the car of his dreams for no reason. It is a beautifully built sports car. How fast is it?

    Masters of the Pit (Crew)

    By Posted on 5.14.2008 2 Comments

    The race may not always be to the swift, but, like Damon Runyon said, "that's the way to bet." With auto races often decided in the space between seconds, every fraction saved during pit stops is time in the bank. That means race teams' pit crews are as much a component to winning as is a set of tires, an engine or the driver. Tomorrow, the best crews in Nascar's Sprint Cup series will square off at the Sprint Pit Crew Challenge in Charlotte, NC. Twenty-four teams will compete over the whine of air wrenches for the title of fastest pit crew in the business.

    This is how America should be when it comes to getting a full tank of gas and four tires. NASCAr could become America's future of the way we look at the automotive world.
