Every now and then some yokel brings his old truck to the drag strip thinking he can keep up with the muscle cars and the ricers. Every now and then the yokel is right. Click it for the “Holy $#!t!”

Neil Baits (I’ve never heard of him either) hoons a restored Celica RA10 rally car. Short, sweet, and dirty (just like your spring break fling) video after the jump.

The Wallace Tartan. What does this have to do with cars? Read on...
Like many young adults, I had rock-n-roll dreams. Dreams that involved touring the country while playing loud, obnoxious music that my parents wouldn’t like. Meeting girls, sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, the whole cliche. But the fact was that I had no musical talent. No desire to practice either, really. And to be perfectly honest, I hadn’t so much as picked up a guitar. And let’s not get in to the voice. My mom thought I did great in the 7th grade production of A Christmas Carol. But she was my mom.
But still, I was young, dumb, about 50 pounds lighter and did unsafe things.
Kind of like a car of my youth.
Hands Off LRF
As my fellow Hoons might be aware, this past weekend was the 50th Anniversary of the running of the Rolex24 at the Daytona International Speedway. This olelongrooffan has previously posted, ad nauseum, about my attendance at that event, as well as the parade on the Friday before the Continental BMW Performance 200.
Well my fellow Hoons, this olelongrooffan, at each of those events, was able to capture, albeit with my elcheapo 28 dollar ebay camera, some grainy videos for your listening pleasure, but you have to make the jump to see them.
The only American-born Porsche factory driver, Patrick Long, is a very busy guy. Somewhere in his 2010 schedule, he managed to find some time to take the track record for GT3 cup cars at Monticello Motor Club, upon his first visit to the track. Here, we have two different viewpoints of the same lap, one placed just aft of the front driver side wheel, showcasing the wheel inputs in a way no other view can, and one from inside the cockpit.
Not quite three years ago, just barely a week into this olelongrooffan’s acceptance by the Hooniverse Overloads into this World of All Things Hoon, I posted this about a trip my nephew, thejeepjunkie’s son, the Kid, and I had during a trip to the pits during the Rolex24 at Daytona, 2008. As this upcoming weekend is the 50th running of this race, I thought my fellow Hoons might enjoy this recap. The images are so 2008 but I am sure all ya’ll will get the taste of it.
…and scares the shit out of co-driver Nicky Grist!
With glorious sound and amazingly beautiful videography, this is definitely worth a few minutes of your time to sit down, turn it up, and enjoy. What others in your office will likely call noise, you are more likely to know as the sound of pure glory. This is the reason man crawled from the primordial ooze.
Welcome to another Modern Art Monday, and this time it is a video performance piece. So what makes this a Modern Art Monday piece? You will just have to make the jump to see the video….
