I think Judge Phil and I will be offering a seminar on BAKSHEESH! for those in need.

(hint: you're in need)

"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

It still surprises me that people spend all kinds of money on the car then say "I know how to drive - I drove to the track!"

guys.....seriously....if you have NEVER driven any car on a racetrack...you MUST go to this....  driving on the street (even illegally fast) is NOTHING like racing.....  Old Farts know what they are talking about and it will help you!!!   

Want to know the secret to going faster on track...DRIVE BETTER....a bunch of good drivers in a bucket will beat a "fast" car with rookies every time!!
