What's a Rat Rod? A Do-It-Yourselfer with Personality - Boston.com

Roughly 400 car owners had gathered to make donations to the Officer Charles Kondek Memorial Fund. He was a 17-year veteran of the Tarpon Springs Police Department, which he had joined after five years as a New York City police officer. Word had gone out throughout the surrounding area: “Even if you don’t usually bring your car to shows, make it to this one. My old friend Ken—and the old refers to the number of years we’ve been friends AND our ages—asked, “See anything you’d like to write about. Every car has it’s own story, but I was looking for something I hadn’t seen before so I pointed and said, “That one. Neither of us knew exactly what this rat rod was, so we started chatting up its owner, Ron Henning of Tarpon Springs. Henning and his son-in-law, Scott Siben, built the rod in a little less than a year. Siben found the body—actually a cab and bed from a 1948 Ford F3 pickup—on Craigslist in Lakeland, Florida, around Thanksgiving 2013. The guys then welded a frame of 2- x 3-inch rails of 1/8-inch walled steel. Henning built his own headers for the engine, fabricating homemade mufflers as well using low-budget SOS pads and boat fiberglass wrap for sound-deadening. Source: www.boston.com

New biography tackles the tale of NASCAR founder "Big Bill" France - Motorsport.com

In the midst of NASCAR’s Daytona Speedweeks, it’s an ideal time to take a look at the newest book on the sport: “Big Bill: The Life and Times of NASCAR Founder Bill France Sr. ,” by H. A. “Herb” Branham, longtime journalist and NASCAR public... Branham already wrote “Bill France Jr. : The Man who Made NASCAR,” so this 357-page authorized biography (Fenn M&S, part of Penguin-Random House, $27. 95, hardcover) is a natural prequel. Branham’s conversational style lends itself to a fast, often funny read about a man who managed to do for stock car racing what multiple other men have done for other forms of motorsports, from Ted Johnson and the World of Outlaws to Bernie... Bill France Sr. did not invent stock car racing, but until NASCAR was officially incorporated on February 21, 1948, it had been an essentially unorganized sport, sometimes sanctioned and sometimes not, speaking with many shrill voices instead of... Overnight success years in the making You know the annotated version: France built NASCAR, then built tracks like Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, making friends and enemies along the way.

Short track bucket list: Little 500 is a must-see - Motorsport.com

Annual race at Indiana's Anderson Speedway has 33 sprint cars on a quarter-mile oval. ANDERSON, Indiana – There are five short-track races that should be on the bucket list of any serious American race fan. And by “short tracks,” I’m talking about half a mile or less, and not Bristol Motor Speedway or Martinsville Speedway, because you already know about those NASCAR Sprint Cup venues. Not that they aren’t some of the best NASCAR racing of the season. --The Knoxville Nationals, sort of the world series of winged sprint car racing held at Knoxville, run in August at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa. There are several other good events during the season – if you don’t like the massive crowds that attend the Nationals, pick another race weekend there. --The NASCAR Craftsman Truck series race at Eldora Speedway in Ohio. Feel free to substitute any other big Eldora race – the World 100, the Kings Royal, the Four Crown Nationals – Eldora seldom fails to entertain, and you need to go there at least once. The International Motor Contest Association, organized in 1915, is the oldest such sanctioning body in the U. S. They sanction races at short tracks all over the county, specializing in dirt modifieds, and those racers tend to converge on Boone... Source: www.motorsport.com
