Unadilla Motorcross
Recently, I had gone with my uncle to Unadilla Motorcross and it was great! It was fantastic to be there to see his love and passion and actually my uncle could have and almost did go pro. At Unadilla was the first time in my life that I ever rode on a bike or at least to ride it as an actual ride. We had gone to the autograph tent where there had been a couple of riders and my uncle was talking to the riders and getting the autographs, while there I had talked him up because my uncle one was helluva rider and I had said as much he is too humble and modest to do it himself.

When the Grandstands Go Quiet
Not long ago, Saturdays from May through September always seemed to have something waiting for us. Whether it was the farmers market downtown, a neighborhood block party, the county fair, a local festival, or a dirt track race on a warm summer evening, our communities always found a reason to come together. Families filled the grandstands. Children ran from one attraction to the next. Friends who had not seen each other in months caught up over a hamburger fresh off the grill or a funnel cake covered in powdered sugar and strawberries.

The Dirt Track Dream
It's a warm Saturday night in July. Wheat sways in the summer breeze just beyond the track entrance, a reminder that this corner of western Kansas still belongs to the prairie. Cicadas hum in the trees as the smell of race fuel and dry Kansas dirt hangs in the air. Fine dust trails behind every passing side-by-side, settling over trailers, toolboxes, and lawn chairs alike. Impact guns chatter from open trailers, broken only by the occasional holler for a wrench that has somehow grown legs and disappeared. Families laugh. Kids weave between trailers on bicycles. One by one, the grandstands begin to fill as another evening at the dirt track comes to life.

Under the Hood of the Hybrid Market
In 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act was passed, which later led to many regulations being pushed out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These regulations were aimed at car manufacturers and would start the move toward cleaner and more fuel efficient vehicles in the future. With these new regulations putting pressure on the manufacturers, research and development increased on hybrid and electric vehicles, as opposed to the vehicles using the common internal combustion engines. This essay will focus on Honda’s practice of producing the Accord. This vehicle is produced with either an internal combustion engine or a hybrid option. The American Honda Motor Company should continue to produce the majority of their Accords with the internal combustion engine for the foreseeable future due to the production cost of hybrid vehicles drastically outweighing the consumer’s willingness to pay for the hybrid variant of the Accord.
