Why you should see Vintage Sports Car Racing by William Miller

Are you a racing fan who is growing tired of watching many dozen of identical looking cars droning around for hours at a time? Nothing looks or sounds different except the sponsor's names?
If you long for variety and cars that were built with a passion not often seen in today's busy, commercial driven society, then your fix might be in vintage sports car racing. If the thought of watching 700+ horsepower monsters thundering around such historic venues as Watkin's Glen or Road America gets your heart pumping a bit faster, then I can promise you it's what you need.There are many sanctioning bodies that put on fantastic car shows that feature vintage sports cars, except at these shows you get to see them run as they were originally intended, not just sitting, propped up over a mirror. Not only that but you are invited to get up close, walk up and really get a look at them, not just peer through a fence or window hoping to get a glance. The drivers are right there and would love nothing more than talking with you about their passion and cars.You can find Can-Am cars in all their big block glory, Formula cars from junior up to F5000 and F1, sedans of every sort, even old Winston cup cars that will bring back memories, and yeah, you're allowed to get close to even those. Even if, or especially if, you didn't get to see these cars race when they were new, you really should take the time to explore the vintage sports car racing scene in your area.

Should you Risk Buying a Used Car? by Eric Hill

You have the money. And you are ready to buy a car. But the biggest question is always what type of car you have to buy. Car buyers are always faced with two options �" the new cars and the used cars option. Used cars are usually the more tempting alternative. It's way cheaper, for one thing. But should you risk buying this type?
People who don't know the first thing about cars may end up buying a second-hand car that looks new on the outside. But little they know that the engine of that car is already a worn-down, worthless machine. When buying a used car, the exteriors are less important that what's inside. Only when you decide to buy newer cars that you can focus on the sleek and shiny form of the car because new cars have impeccable engines guaranteed.
It is still okay to buy a used car if it is not too old. The first thing to check is always the year of manufacture and the mileage of the car. These data would show you whether the car is a good buy or not. A car that has been used for a long time is more likely to have bigger problems than benefits. You should stay clear of those cars as much as you can.
When buying used cars, stick to the newer models. A year or two behind should still be good. These cars are not as old and as used as the ones older. But even so, you should still look at the mileage of the car. Mileage is an important detail you should never miss out.
Newer used cars are also better because these cars are created with higher quality, thanks to today's improving car technology. These cars are rarely termed 'used' even. Manufacturers call them the CPO cars, or Certified Pre-Owned cars. You can even find these cars from certified car dealers themselves. Oftentimes, these cars are sold, bought back, or traded by their first owners for various reasons.
The CPO program had given used car buyers the assurance that they are getting a car that is useful and not more of a headache. In fact, almost 1.2 million vehicles that were sold a year ago were CPO cars. This only proves that savings and convenience this program is supported by the buying public.
New cars depreciate to almost 20% the moment you drive it off the dealer's parking lot. This means that even if you buy the car shiny new, you can never sell it to another person for the same price, even if you just bought it a few seconds ago. That's the underlying truth about brand-new cars. And buying used cars, in a way, is beneficial because they don't have the tendency to depreciate as much.
Wise buyers don't have to go through the risks of buying used cars. In fact, there are absolutely no risks for them if they choose right. So before you go ahead and purchase the car you want, you must do a little research. Doing so is important so that you'll go home with a choice vehicle and not a rundown monster.

The Best Hydroxy Gas Boosters For Better Mileage by Brandon McHale

Can You Cut Your Gasoline Expenses In Half?
The true answer is " I don't know." But WAIT ! There are too many variables to know if your specific engine will increase mileage by 50%, some can increase up to 70% !, but the answer for your specific engine is this " You may get 5 more miles per gallon, you may get 25 more miles per gallon, but your expense is the cost of water." Is that fair enough? You will add miles per gallon with any internal combustion engine, gas or diesel. Even lean burning engines can benefit and become more efficient.
The technology for hydroxy gas is not new, it's far from new. These fuel cells have been around since the mid 1950's, and they work. Not only do they increase miles per gallon they increase horsepower. I'll explain how these hydroxy fuel cells add miles per gallon, increase horsepower, clean out carbon deposits, and reduce emissions. Lets start with efficiency.
Why Making Hydroxy Gas Is Efficient
Have you ever noticed a drop in miles per gallon while driving at night? Well, your running your headlights at night... hopefully. Do your headlights draw enough power to decrease your miles per gallon? No they don't and here's why. Your alternator is already in motion, as soon as you start your engine, your alternator rotates too. This is already a draw on your engine and remains a constant. When you turn on your headlights it doesn't exceed the amount your alternator is already cranking out. Therefore you don't notice a drop in miles per gallon. You can crank on your air conditioner compressor and immediately notice a drop in power and efficiency, so there are limits. We're talking about 12v @ 15-20 amps, well within your alternators capacity without engine sapping draw, and yes you can use your headlights and run a hydroxy fuel cell.
How Hydroxy Gas Adds Miles Per Gallon
Hydroxy gas is made from splitting water into an hydrogen and oxygen mixture, which is much more powerful than either element alone. I explained the power to do this can be accomplished efficiently. Your using power that's already a draw on your engine. This combustible soup, when added to your current engines intake, makes a super efficient fuel additive. The results are immediate, besides the increased miles per gallon, you'll notice a smoother cooler running engine. This is due to the increased octane from the oxygen and the reduced flame combustion temperature from the hydrogen. Not only is your engine going to run like it's burning premium octane, your going to be using a lot more of the fuel you bought. Hydroxy gas allows for a more complete burn of your fuel molecules. Your current combustion process doesn't use all of the fuel. A lot of your fuel is unburned and is reduced by your catalytic converter. Hydroxy gas puts all of that otherwise wasted fuel to work.! Your paying for fuel to waste it, and then your paying again to dispose of the waste. Kinda like a double whammy, but not when you use hydroxy gas, you'll be amazed at how much fuel you previously wasted when you see the added miles per gallon.
GiddyUp! Hydroxy!
A smoother more controlled burn of your fuel means added efficiency and added power. They don't call them boosters for nothing. How much horsepower depends on your Hydroxy saturation. Your normal 14:1 fuel ratio should not exceed 4% hydroxy saturation. This keeps all the mechanics computers timing etc.. the same without having to do manual adjustments, of course leaning your fuel back will further increase MPG, but we're keeping things simple in this explanation. Pilots can lean their fuel back at 14k' when atmospheric pressure is right, you can do the same with hydroxy without flying, but lets keep our feet on the ground for now... one step at a time. The simple explanation is "You will notice a boost when you accelerate".
Icky Gicky Carbon... Pass The Pumice Soap
Carbon is the byproduct of an inefficient burn, so hydroxy will immediately stop carbon buildup. The buildup will also be removed by the water vapor. Your engine already creates water it's part of your emissions due to the burning of hydrogen that's in your fuel, your just adding more hydrogen thus increasing water vapor. This added vapor is what is replacing the caustic acidic emissions you regularly emit. This water vapor is far less damaging than carbonic acids. Your replacing those byproducts of inefficient combustion with hydrogen, which leads to water vapor. You don't have to worry about hydrogen embrittlement because the hydrogen saturation isn't enough, plus alloys like tungsten etc.. are more likely to be damaged than steel. All you get is a cleaner more efficient engine as the result of burning hydroxy gas. You get more miles per gallon, added horsepower, cleaner emissions and a more efficient engine from the removal of carbon. That's hard to beat for the price of water.
