John Phillips: Memories of My Favorite Boss ? Column
In 1969, there was a Boss. And it wasn?t Bruce Springsteen. At about 6 p.m. on a rainy Halloween in 1969, I took delivery of a chrome-yellow 1970 Mustang Boss 302 from Dan Rohyans Ford in Columbus, Ohio. I don?t know what my father was thinking. He dropped me off, thus installing me?age 18?behind the [...]

Nasr and Foresti take Oulton poles
Felipe Nasr and Lucas Foresti locked out the front row and the two pole positions in qualifying for the second round of British Formula 3 at Oulton Park. Late improvements from the two Brazilians denied T-Sport's Menasheh Idafar what would have been a sensational double pole position result from a hectic qualifying session. Carlin's Kevin Magnussen had just set the fastest time of the session when he crashed heavily at Cascades 10 minutes into the 30-minute session and brought out the red flags

Study: Steering wheels are nine times dirtier than public toilet seats
Have you ever driven a vehicle that had a sticky steering wheel? It's probably one of the most disgusting feelings there is, and a report in IBN Live shows that the adhesive can be more than just grape jelly. Researchers at Queen Mary University in London claim that there are, on average, 700 different kinds of bacteria per square inch of steering wheel. That compares to 80 distinct bacteria types on a public toilet seat. Even worse, the trunk has 1,000 bacteria types per square inch. The most common form of bacteria was bacillus cereus, which can cause food poisoning.
The reason cars are filthy is simple; we simply don't clean them. While we vacuum, dust and disinfect our home on a semi-regular basis, only one third of study participants cleaned their vehicle once a year or more. That sounds pretty crazy (and a bit lazy), but think about it. You may jettison the trash and vacuum the carpet on a somewhat regular basis, but how often do you wipe down that nasty steering wheel? And when you think about how many Americans regularly eat in their vehicles, our cars could be a solid reason why we are sick as often as we are. Now we know why valet parking attendants tend to wear white gloves.
Beyond cleanliness, the study also shows that many drivers know next to nothing about their vehicles. For example, two-thirds of us don't know how to change a tire, while one third of those surveyed don't even know how to put air in the tires. It's a sad, sad world.

The Champions are Coming
To most Antipodeans and indeed Europeans, North America is a mecca for little more than high speed, high-banked left turn ovals, whose only variations are in size or location. They might think that, perhaps, road racing of the turn-left-and-right variety is a mere afterthought. And yet, North America is home to many of the world’s most picturesque, fast and challenging road circuits, whose corners, rises and falls are of the classic kind, well on par with Europe’s best. Mosport International Raceway is one such place. It’s a simple yet exciting layout, and a favourite amongst many of the V8 regulars. For the feature race of Week 11 in the iRacing V8 Supercar Series, Trans Tasman Racing’s Madison Down was on pole in the 1 minute 19s. The two Macs, McLeod [...]

Activists hope Bahrain is not reinstated
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has been urged not to reinstate the Bahrain Grand Prix to the world championship calendar until the Gulf State's political situation has returned to normal. With ongoing conflict between the authorities and pro-democracy activists, and the island under a State of Emergency, there already appears little chance of this year's Bahrain GP getting rescheduled.
