  1. Some of you know that my Dad picked up a 2011 GrandSport a couple weeks ago. The few times he has driven it, he is unhappy with how much brake dust is on the wheels. What would you recommend for low dust options? Opinion on 1-piece pads vs the stock style padlets?

  13. http://www.lsxtv.com/news/video-keith-berry-obliterates-radial-record-at-holly-springs/ This past weekend at Holly Springs Dragway in Mississippi, the Fall Brawl assembled some of the greatest drag radial racers in the world to finish out the season. Keith Berry has been hard at work figuring out his Drag Radial Corvette, and on the Holly Springs surface he pulled out all the stops in an attempt to finish his season strong. Strong isn’t the word, though, as he absolutely annihilated the Outlaw Drag Radial record with an unreal 4.19 at 185 MPH before running through the rest of the field to win the event over one of the strongest collection of radial tires assembled all year. Berry’s Proline Racing Engines-built, billet-block, LS-powered, Bell Chassis’d Corvette is one of the most beautiful cars you’ll ever see on the racetrack, and its performance backs up the stunning good looks. Berry almost didn’t even complete the weekend, as during his qualifying pass on Saturday he managed to not only break the existing small-block ODR record with a 4.21 at 184 and qualify number one, but in the process managed to spin the car out on the top end trying to get stopped. After a couple of new tires (and a fresh pair of skivvies!) Keith got back on the horse to make things happen for Sunday’s elimination rounds. berry In the first round, he used the hard-earned bye awarded to the number one qualifier to decrease the record yet again, carding a 4.206 at only 176 MPH. The second round saw Berry put Justin Martin’s gorgeous orange Nova on the trailer with a 4.28 to Martin’s 4.45. Round three brought the incredible 4.1938 at 185.49 MPH against Chris Daniel, with Berry earning the first official 4.1-anything in Outlaw Drag Radial to take the Radial record in the process – on a 1.13 short time, leading us to believe there’s even more in this hotrod. The fourth round saw Rob Valden’s 4.25 take a seat to Berry’s 4.21 at 190 MPH blast, and then Berry cruised to a sweet 4.23 at 182 in the final against Bruce Johnson for the vent win. And he did it all with a small block, folks. An incredible weekend for the black beast, and only a taste of what’s to come in the future.

  17. My name is Virgil and I am a 55 year old disabled veteran that started going to school online a few years ago seeking a degree in the web publishing and design field. I was born in a little log cabin in the hills of Kentucky where we did mostly farming and I spent most of my early youth splitting rails to earn extra money for my family. When I got older and in my late teens I went north to the Ohio river and got a job on a riverboat working in the boiler room and over the next few years worked my way up to become a riverboat captain where I worked till one day I had saw an airplane fly overhead for the first time and then I was amazed at the way it flew with such ease and then it dawned on me how it will soon overtake the riverboat as a means of transportation so I decided to quit the riverboat and learn to fly. My first job of flying was flying a mail route out of St. Louis, Missouri. I had done this job for a few years till I had heard of a contest to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and so I decided that if I did not want to be working for others the rest of my life that I needed to do something spectacular and so I decided to take this chance to get my name in the history books and make this grand attempt. As I was flying over the Atlantic I had come across a huge ocean liner that was having problems staying afloat. I then noticed that there were scores of people in the water so I decided to try and rescue as many as I could by flying low close to the water and then snare some of the survivors with the landing gear of the plane. Through this maneuver I was able to rescue twenty seven people that held on till I had reached Paris, France where I flew low to the ground to give them the opportunity to fall off before I was to land. Once I was assured that all were safely on the ground I then continued to land where I was greeted with a Hero’s welcome and met by Winston Churchill. I apologized profusely to him and explained to him that I did not have time for tea with him that I had to quickly get back to the United States where I was to start my astronaut training for the Gemini project. During the next few years while in training we had come across several problems. The main one was a way to escape the earth’s gravitational pull and get into outer space. But I devised a plan to use a huge rubber band to launch the rocket into space. This of course was made possible with the use of three hundred oxen to pull the huge rubber band and fifty men with axes to cut the rubber band at the same time to shoot us into space. It was during this time in space when John Glenn looked over at me and asked if I had any idea as to how we would get back down safely. I just calmly looked at John and told him that getting into space was my job and that anything after that was left entirely up to him and that I cannot be expected to think of everything. It was during this period that we were so preoccupied with arguing over who’s fault and whose job it was that we did not notice falling down out of orbit and we splashed down in the Pacific Ocean next to the seventh fleet that was at the time doing maneuvers and they sent out a helicopter to rescue us and again I got another Hero’s welcome but this time I decided to not hog all the glory and let John take most of the credit
