The World of Outlaws Is a Haphazard Dirt
Doug The World of Outlaws is a haphazard dirt track sanctioning body for winged sprint car racing that came out of nowhere in the 1980s and still is running strongly today, led by everyone’s favorite American racing driver, Kyle Larson. When I was reporting on the WoO in the 1980s and 1990s,I was fortunate enough to watch four great drivers -- Steve Kinser, the bull; Sammy Swindell, the brat, Bobby Allen, the sorrowful flower child; and Doug Wolfgang, the underdog. I talked to all of them: Kinser was always reaching for another can of beer; Swindell always seemed hostile; Allen always seemed out of it; only Wolfgang made a decent interview. Then on April 3, 1992, in Kansas, at Lakeside Speedway, he suffered burns over better than 30 percent of his body in a flaming crash. The WoO carried few insurance papers on its drivers; Wolfgang himself carried little; and so, to save his own life and those of his wife and two teenage daughters, he sued for damages. Nobody is supposed to sue anybody else in racing, so this earned Wolfgang -- the winner 140 Wo0 matches, the five time champion of the Knoxville Nationals, plus his first place finishers in hundreds of minor races -- the disgrace of being a fallen racing driver. Exaggerating his limitations as an underdog winged sprint car driver, Wolfgang told me, “I’m losing my hair. I’ve got lines on my face. I’m worn out.” But when I asked him if he enjoyed being the underdog, he admitted, “Yes, I guess I’ve always liked playing the underdog in my racing.” This, in turn, had given him the mystique of a moody, unpredictable performer. -

Tom Daniel Grew up in Southern California, a Perfect Place for a Teenager with a Fascination for Cars and the Ability to Draw Th
How many car owners are fortunate enough to have their vehicles featured on a maga- zine cover-much less several in one year? Tom Daniel’s artwork graced three covers in ’65. A wild T-bucket was the single image for the January issue. The June issue shows Tom’s version of a custom Model A woodie. This showstopper would fit in right now as the new millennium woodie. The radical ’32 coupe on September’s cover would be center stage at today’s car show. In the corner of the June ’67 issue is Tom’s rendering of R&C’s "Volksrod" project. One of Tom’s restyling ideas for the new ’67 Camaro was found on the January ’67 cover. Here’s a Daniel rendering that made it to one of street rodding’s most recognizable Track Ts.

The Mobil Economy Run
FUEL-EFFICIENT FUN! The Mobil By Sheryl James Economy Run It was an oh-so-Detroit scene that April 9, 1967. As hundreds of spectators and news media looked on, 41 cars motored past the official finish line in front of Cobo Hall. The vehicles, all American-made models, were completing the wildly popular, annual contest known as the Mobil Economy Run. Winners would be declared in seven different classes as soon as official experts made their measurements. But these drivers and cars would not win for best racing times. They were vying for best gas mileage rates. 28 | MICHIGAN HISTORY ithin a short time, it was determined that the Oldsmobile Toronado, at 16.4821 miles per gallon. But cut 1967 Mobil Economy Run winners included this boat some slack; it was in the Luxury Cars class.

They had driven 2,886 miles over Compact Eight-Cylinder, and Intermediate Eight-Cylinder all kinds of country and city routes, over mountains and classes. These models averaged between 20.0111 and plains. They had made overnight stops in Stateline, Nevada; 24.5722 miles per gallon of gas.

The Automobile and Communication in Twentieth-Century American Literature and Film
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository MOTORCARS AND MAGIC HIGHWAYS: THE AUTOMOBILE AND COMMUNICATION IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE AND FILM BY JASON VREDENBURG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee Professor Gordon Hutner, Chair Professor Dale Bauer Professor John Timberman Newcomb Associate Professor José B. Capino ii ABSTRACT Motorcars and Magic Highways examines the nexus between transportation and communication in the development of the automobile across the twentieth century. While early responses to the automobile emphasized its democratizing and liberating potential, the gradual integration of the automobile with communications technologies and networks over the twentieth century helped to organize and regulate automobile use in ways that would advance state and corporate interests. Where the telegraph had separated transportation and communication in the nineteenth century, the automobile’s development reintegrates these functions through developments like the two-way radio, car phones, and community wireless networks. As I demonstrate through a cultural study of literature and film, these new communications technologies contributed to the standardization and regulation of American auto-mobility. Throughout this process, however, authors and filmmakers continued to turn to the automobile as a vehicle of social critique and resistance. Chapter one, “Off the Rails: Potentials of Automobility in Edith Wharton, Theodore Dreiser, and Sinclair Lewis,” establishes the transformative potential that early users saw in the automobile. -

TMPCC MEDIAMEDIA RADIO, TELEVISION & PRINT REPORTING the 2014 GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW Written and Photographed By: Ken Latka
TMPCCTMPCC MEDIAMEDIA RADIO, TELEVISION & PRINT REPORTING THE 2014 GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW Written and photographed by: Ken Latka The Grand National Roadster Show is the longest running indoor car show in the world. It is also one of the most respected car shows in the United States. There are 500 roadsters, customs, hot rods and motorcycles filling eight buildings at the Fairplex in Pomona, California, all vying for top awards, including one of the most coveted honors in the custom car building world, being named “America’s Most Beautiful Roadster”. The first show was organized by Al Slonaker in 1949 and it ran for 54 years in various cities in Northern California. Originally called “The Oakland Roadster Show”, the show has since changed it’s name to “The Grand National Roadster Show”. The GNRS moved to Pomona in 2004 and this is fitting, because many Wes Rydell’s 1935 Chevrolet Phaeton “Black Bowtie” consider Southern California the birthplace of hot rodding. Now in its 65th year, this truly is “The Grand Daddy of all Roadster Shows”. The GNRS attracts the best designers, builders and of course, thousands of eager spectators from all over the world who are ready to take in the sights and sounds of the event. John Buck of Rod Shows has been organizing the event for some years now, and I can tell you that the GNRS never disappoints. The GNRS is a hot rod and custom car lovers dream and the competition at this level has produced some famous and radical customs, including Silhouette and Ed Roth's Mysterion. -
