This company is trying to end F1 drivers’ racing career.
Lately while surfing on YouTube, I tumbled upon a video. After watching this video, I was in a very different phase, a dilemma where I was happy for the progress of science as well as sad for the demotion of drivers. Arrival, an automobile company who manufacture electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles posted a video of their test on their Artificial intelligence vehicle named ADS team. In the video they challenged Formula E world champion Lucas di Grassi to race against their AI operated car. The video was totally cool, with great cinematography and with awesome insights and behind the scenes on how they optimized the performance of the car.

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.
