  • Keep on Moving: Hotrods & Horns: the Making of Life, Love, & Loss
    Keep On Moving: Hotrods & Horns: The making of Life, Love, & Loss To lead off, I have to give my support to the workers of Stop & Shop who are forced to forgo their wages while the company tries to replace them with Johnny 5s from Short Circuit. Please do not cross their picket line. Moving on… The first time I wrote about one of Jay Berndt’s bands, Kilgore Smudge, was literally 25 years ago in a paper called The Cowl at one of the local colleges. I mention this because it was a pivotal experience in my life. I didn’t know anyone in a band, but seeing Kilgore in its various incarnations got me out to see local bands and introduced me to a whole new world. On their debut album, Life, Love, & Loss, Jay Berndt & The Orphans take the R&B/soul of Van Morrison and cascade it with the dramatic highs and lows of Springsteen. To take a deeper dive into Life, Love, & Loss, I posed a few questions to my main man, Mr. Berndt himself. Marc Clarkin (Motif): Much like the title suggests, Life, Love, & Loss packs in a little of everything. How long did it take to put it together? Jay Berndt: The bulk of the songs were written between 2012 and 2013, when the Orphans first started. We actually recorded 50% of the album back then, but I was not happy with the sound of the home recordings or the performance of the band. So I scrapped the whole thing and started all over with a new version of the Orphans in 2014.

  • Racing, Region, and the Environment: a History of American Motorsports
    RACING, REGION, AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS By DANIEL J. SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

    Matt Hagan and the Magneti Marelli Offered by Mopar/Rocky Boots Dodge Charger R/T roars into the NHRA Countdown for the Championship with No. 1 seed. (PHOTO: AutoImagery.com) COUNTDOWN IS ON Hagan, Magneti Marelli/Rocky Boots team leads DSR into playoff with Funny Car top seed, Massey ranks second in Top Fuel The seven Don Schumacher Racing teams will get a well-earned weekend off before leaving next week to start the seventh annual Countdown to the Championship on Sept.13 at zMAX Dragway near Charlotte Motor Speedway after the 18-event NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series concluded Monday. DSR’s teams are in solid positions to make runs at NHRA world championships and $500,000 bonuses that go along with the titles. Leading the way will be Matt Hagan and the Magneti Marelli Offered by Mopar/Rocky Boots Dodge Charger R/T team that have made a miraculous turnaround after not qualifying for the Countdown a year ago and will start this year’s edition as the No. 1 seed. Hagan’s team, the 2011 world champion, suffered through 2012 without winning an event title or No. 1 qualifying position, but after 18 events this year with new crew chief Dickie Venables and rookie assistant Michael Knudsen the team has won four titles and four poles heading to the Countdown. Hagan starts as the top-seed with a 30-point lead over DSR teammate Ron Capps and the NAPA AUTO PARTS team. Before the points were reset for the Countdown after the U.S. Nationals over Labor Day Assistant crew chief Michael Knudsen, left, and crew Weekend, Hagan had built 215-point lead over.
