Looked through onthelosthighway.tumblr

Great home built kart... get a look at the steering wheel! Photo was taken by John Gutman, in Georgia, 1937 http://www.johngutmann.org/viewer/index.html and incredibly, ridethemachine.tumblr posted this yesterday... but I found it on "onthelosthighway.tumblr" today

The look of a maniac, ain't that a grin!
Dangerous and deadly racing.
http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is a guy who took these photos of his dad, and his dad's 1924 original and untouched Harley Davidson
http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is mostly tattoos, it's NSFW, but it also has a lot of respect for Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Babe Ruth.

Costs of racing

I was reading the article in Mens Journal about Eric Bana, and his track time with his Porsche.

he states that it's $2400 for tires, 10 thou wear and tear, and 20-30 thou for the rweekend racing.

Now those are probably Australian Dollars, not Euro Dollars, or US dollars... but that is ex - pen - sive

Eric Bana is recognizeable for the role in the new Star Trek movie as the bad guy, but you really will enjoy his documentary on his fix up of his Ford XB Falcon Coupe (same as Mad Max's car) "Love the Beast" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/eric-bana-love-beast-actor-eric-bana.html which is available on instant download on Netflix http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Love_the_Beast/70117051?trkid=2692263#height2225
