As we en- tered the hallowed grounds at the Houston VA National Cemetery, there were two fire trucks with ladders extended, forming an arch, for visitors to drive through, with a flag a flying high from the top of the arch, at the entrance. The roads throughout the cemetery were proudly flying American flags. There was a huge standing room only crowd in attendance, all paying homage to the veterans, and the fallen heroes. The program for the mornings activities began with a fly over of a US Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter, fol- lowed with a Cannon Salute by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans and Sons of the Union Veterans.

In 1902 a Renault Type K won its first victory in the Paris-to-Vienna road race, propelled by a four cylinder engine producing slightly more than 40 horsepower. It beat the more powerful Mercedes and Panhard racers because they broke down, proving very early on that to finish first, first you have to finish. In that same year Renault patented the turbocharger, something it had not forgotten in 1977 when it was the first manufacturer to race a turbocharged Formula One car. The RS01 was initially nicknamed the 'Yellow Teapot' by amused rival teams, but intensive development eventually saw it scoring fourth place in the 1978 US Grand Prix, and a pole position the following year. Within three years of the Yellow Teapot’s arrival most rival teams were also using turbochargers. Although today’s Renaultsport RS27-2013 engine is a normally aspirated V8, as required by the regulations, from 2014 it will be replaced by a highly advanced, downsized 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 featuring a pair of powerful energy recuperation systems that feed twin electric motors. These include an Energy Recovery System (ERS-K) that harvests Kinetic energy, and a second Energy Recovery System (ERS-H) that captures Heat.
