Murphy was slavin’ away on his next Poop, and shur nuff, there’s a confluence of events, as they say. First, there’s a clamor of A.C. fans drivin’ the poor Bear nuts (see the testimonials below), then here comes another A.C. column rollin’ in just on time. Well, that saves Murphy’s bacon. Here’s A.C, while (or whilst, as they say in Suffolk – get well, Malcolm, ol’ sod) the Bear keeps workin’ on the latest scurrilous rumors.-Murphy-

I got a neat little scale diecast model of a Brumos Porsche DP sitting on my desk.  Sometimes I roll it across my desk and imagine I am behind the wheel on the last lap at Daytona, about to win a Rolex timepiece, just like my hero Hurley. Wow! That would be awesome!!!! (more…)

Well, A.C.’s back, this time with some very astute, deep, and relevant observations about our planet’s fragile ecology, racing’s relationship to global warming, recycling, and event etiquette at Daytona. Sort of, anyway. Enjoy. -Murphy-

As fads go, “Green Racing” ranks somewhere between streaking and the Macarena. 

The higher ups in Braselton are desperate to join the environmental bandwagon.  Let me guess, Ralph Nader will be the Grand Marshal at Sebring next year.  And the Petit Le Mans will probably be run in metric time to save fuel.

Back in 1974, both Daytona and Sebring were cancelled because of the gas shortage. Yeah, I know, several thousand fans showed up anyway at Sebring. Well at Daytona, if fans pulled that stunt they would have been clubbed like a hippie at the 1968 Chicago Democrat convention. Ya see, they don’t encourage such nonsense at Daytona. (more…)
