Posted by Daniel Beaudry - Looking every bit like the snow pack inAntarctica, the salt crust at Bonneville this year is shaping up to be a raceable surface. Photo courtesy of SCTA. Well, there may just be a movie-style miracle in the making at the legendary, but beleaguered Bonneville Salt Flats America's premier stage for setting land speed records has not hosted its main event, Speedweek, in two years.

In the blog A brief trip down memory lane with a few vintage Atari 2600 racing video games, posted in October of 2015, I discussed some of my favorite car-based Atari games from my childhood. This blog will be quite different from that one. The reason being, after the Atari 2600, I bought a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), then a Super NES, followed by Playstation 1 and so on. I never had a Sega Genesis system, but thanks to this year's local library sale, and the Sega Genesis cartri...Read More | Recommended Reading - The Book of Basic Machines, The U.S. Navy Training Manual Posted by Richard Lentinello - Like a strong foundation for a building, you need a solid base of knowledge to understand whatever it is that interests you.

The first appears to be the counterpart parking lot to the one in yesterday's photos, while the two below appear to be from the outskirts of said university. And for the first time in this series, we see an empty parking spot - must've been toward the end of the day. What do you see here? ...Read More | | | THIS DAY IN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY | 7/11/1916: | President Woodrow Wilson signs Federal Aid Road Act |
