Dr Michael Estes | Racing on sand dunes
Hello amigos! Again I am Dr Michael Estes here, a practicing physician, full-time husband, a loving father, and an offroad maniac. Last time I read you guys the story of my friend and I restoring a motorboat in our leisure. This time I bring the only other thing than boat restoration, which drives me crazy, and that is off-roading. So whenever I get time off from being an Emergency Response Medicine Doctor and a general physician in different hospitals and medical institutions, I go out with friends on an off-roading trip in our truck. Last year some of my friends, including Alc and their kids, went to sand dunes for off-roading and some racing. I took my wife and our dog poochie with me in our old GMC red truck. Poochie really likes going out with us and often peeps out of the window for his "barking at trees"session.

A Lady and a Camaro
My first choice was a Ford Mustang. My late step dad first car was a 1965 Mustang. It was a used one, rusted on the outside, and old on the inside. He used it for commuting to go to work and church. It was a classic red, still beautiful beside it's rust from all the years of use. I don't recall this car being stuck. But we dealt with flooding one night after church service in the evening and the water was up to nearly the seats. We got out safe but drenched but the Mustang was still going strong.

What Happened To Nascar?
Home in my apartment and bored to death, I was flipping channels trying to find something to watch. I can’t remember if it was March 1986 or November 1986, but it was at Atlanta Motor Speedway. A Nascar race being broadcast live. I had stopped on that channel and began watching as this blue and yellow car was just passing other cars at will. In March this driver finished 2nd, in the November race he finished 1st. This was when I became a Nascar fan and Dale Earnhardt Sr became my favorite driver.

The NHRA Heartland National High School Rodeo
When the dust settles from the 2021 National High School Racing Association's National Reptile and Amphibian Championships, one of the many great things for which the event is known is the exposure it gives to various reptile species. Not only do National Reptile and Amphibian Championships give a venue for reptile researchers and enthusiasts to meet and discuss their work, but it also provides a venue in which to introduce potentially suitable pets for those who wish to own them. After the competition, the top three animals will be chosen as the "NHRA Animal of the Year," and the public can vote for their favorite animals, including the snake. All of the animal categories at the 2021 National High School Rodeo were chosen by the public, but the "NHRA Animal of the Year" was not.

Heavy price to pay for a series of freak occurrences
There can be few Welshmen down the centuries who have suffered a more tragic end than racing driver Tom Pryce. A wet-track specialist, Pryce was firmly on the road to a successful Formula One career when a series of freak occurrences on this day, 5 March, 44 years ago led to the 27-year-old’s tragic demise at the 1977 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami.

Cloud Nine
The heavy pitter-patter of rain chimed harmoniously in the background as the lighting herald in the crackling thunder, the lightning arched in the sky above the otherwise peaceful neighborhood as the noonday heat had cooled from the cold downpour. Caught in its grip a man desperately runs to his car, who upon starting pulls out his phone after it had rung for his attention, the man’s eyes widened as he read the message. “Good afternoon Mr. Mathis, it is with great pleasure that I inform you that you have been selected for today’s challenge hosted by Suncloud Interactive if for any reason you cannot or would no longer wish to participate reply stop to cancel otherwise you will be automatically confirmed as a contestant for today’s event we look forward to your result -Suncloud Interactive Management”

Matthew Kouame SPEED Michaels’ start to his day was quite unusual. For one, his dog hadn’t come to lick him awake and his parrot wasn’t screeching for food.
DEATH ON TRACK
DEATH ON TRACK CARLOS Inside the garage, Carlos slumped behind the wheel of La Cibol. Even sitting still, the car maintained its elegance and ferocity. She was a champion. The man behind the wheel was forever grateful for the privilege of driving her. They had been together for a long time in one form or another. He had always made sure, as the car evolved under the brilliant and dedicated hands of mechanical, design and engineering geniuses, that one original part of her was preserved in each and every generation. That’s how he knew he had a relationship with her, and she with him. They trusted, believed in and loved one another. Even thinking of leaving her behind broke his heart. Once he was gone she would be dismantled. The core of her would be lost to the next driver, who wouldn’t care. Only he, Carlos Cardenas, cared. He rested his head against the steering wheel, whispering endearments.
