Microthink...............................................

Eventually, we will realize the only possible way to continue our obsession with individualized transportation is to visualize ourselves in lil motorcycles with wraparound fairings. This is a microcar---it is European (as our N. American captains of industry caved on this concept....) and makes sense if you drive it like a sensible European surrounded by others grounded in some antithesis of road rage. Tho' I'm social science-oriented, I can't see an imminent solution to THAT problem on the left coast. So....back to the cars! http://www.microcarmuseum.com/what-a-find/index.html

I was originally impressed by the Dixie Pro Stocks precicely because they weren't that rather 'blow'-fueled mindset of the '70's-'80's. Small-scaled circuit riders have been a comfort to me ever since.
The Dixie Pro Mods continue to this day. I use them as a barometer to measure the sustainability of local creature features. The old pro stockers with 'Big Daddy' Kane had a roster of some 30 cars---mostly what peeps these days would ID as T/S class vehicles i.e., as good as good gets for a good time Sunday. The latest version boasts 20 teams who have entered photo profiles within their PR efforts. Follow them at the promodsource.com site. Celebrate their obscurity, the obscure, sustainable southeast tracks they play at....the possibilities they didn't have to put together more than the magic economic formula of 'three people with good jobs' to pay for it all .....
