Im sitting here with the gun experimenting and i can grab it and get on target quicker. My left hand isnt nearly as limp that way. its also the way bond is holding the ppk on the cover of skyfalll.


remember when sean connery could take on snipers sjotguns and machine guns from the hip with a .32 walther with a "delivery like a brick thru a plate glass window"..... Providing my 8 yr old niece fires throws the brick

Classic NASCAR Photo of the Day

Today is the Sprint Unlimited!! (I still keep typing Budweiser Shootuot and have to clear it out...)


I've been holding on to this picture since before Christmas.

A got this photo from a guy named Jerry Bush, who had it in a collection of several shots taken that day. I do'nt know fi they're his originals or not. During the 1984 running of the "Busch Clash", when it was 25 lap race on a Saturday afternoon the day before Daytona 500 qualifying I believe.

Ricky Rudd was pretty beat up after this ride. His face was swollen so bad they had to tape his eyes open to run the Daytona 500 the next week. But he became known for his toughness after this accident.

Years later in teh2000's, Ricky Rudd became "Iron Man" with the most consecutive starts by a NASCAR driver in history, a record that stands to this day.


The moment captured, the angle it's captured from, and the clarity of this shot make ti amazing to me...

Also, here are some other shots captured that day....










Ricky Rudd spent the rest of speed weeks looking like this...









Looks a little like Rowdy Burns in Days of Thunder, huh?

Cool shots Duane. I wonder if they would clear a driver today if they had to tape his eyes open.

"Clear a driver for racing" was not in NASCAR's vocabulary back then.
