It is that time of year again.  Last years race was so great that it is happening again in a bigger better way being hosted at Toledo Speedway.  You may remember last years CDf following of the DeLorean build I was part of.  That build effort won People’s Choice and this year the team is sure to not loose that status.

This years team is called First Blood in the honor of the great Rambo.  After seeing the fourth ridiculously insane installment it was clear we had to incorporate Rambo is some way.  So do it up military style recreating a deuce-and-a-half out of a ’91 GMC Sonoma pickup.  You say well a deuce-and-a-half is a tri-axel, how could that work……you’ll see.  The team has truly out done themselves creating this years race truck.

Here is a theme sketch that got the bullets flying.

Here is an interesting article.  Perhaps a new form of birth control?

Heated car seats may offer comfort to men on cold days,
but they also may reduce users’ fertility, researchers say

Heated vehicle seats could threaten the fertility of male drivers, according to a study conducted at the University of Giessen in Germany.
Researchers found that the electric-generated heat emitted in some car seats can raises a male’s body temperature to a level where production of healthy sperm may be compromised.
In the study, 30 volunteers were outfitted with temperature sensors. Then, they sat on heated car seats for 90 minutes. Within only 60 minutes, temperatures had risen to an average of 37.3 degrees Celsius (C). One man’s temperature was recorded at 39.7 C (103.5 degrees Fahrenheit).
The ideal temperature for sperm production is 35 C to 36 C (95 F to 97 F) – just below the average core body temperature.
Higher temperatures can cause sperm counts to fall dramatically. Such temperatures may be caused by tight-fitting trousers or undergarments; long, hot baths; and heated seats.
A number of fertility experts believe that changes in fashions and lifestyles are responsible for falling sperm counts in recent decades.
An article on the study appeared in a recent edition of New Scientist magazine.
