&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Here are the pics we took.  We weren't allowed to use a flash, so this is the best we could do...  The pics are in the gallery.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The show covers everything from actual racing, the fear of crashing, the business of racing, and the art of raising 3 daughters.  Luckily, all three look like their mom and not their dad.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;It's worth watching and gives some insite into the race world our team works in without the heat, smells, and earsplitting engines.  Go to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aetv.com/drivingforce/index.jsp"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.aetv.com/drivingforce/index.jsp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;to find out more.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Speaking of Nitro Funny Cars, we've been chatting with Spiro Kontos who owns the Canadian Nitro Funny Car Team &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.konrodzracing.com/"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KonRodz Racing &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;and have been offering up some help.  We stopped by Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame Inductee Barry Paton's shop on the weekend to drop off a clutch grinding tool so that they can finish off the clutch work.  Barry's working as Crew Chief for KonRodz as they are a brand new team, and there's no better way to learn than by working with a legend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;While we were there, we got to see Barry's primary team car, the Tim Horton's sponsored Top Fuel Dragster.  He was working on the engine and we learned a few new tricks in the process.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;We'll be visiting both teams during the &lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ihra.com/results/2006/nationals/toronto/info.htm"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IHRA race this weekend at Toronto Motorsports Park. &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;For the most part, we'll be there as spectators, but will help Spiro if he needs an extra hand or two.  Both cars put out between 7,000 and 9,000 HP so it would be a site to see if you want to come to the track.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Arn&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table cellspacing="0" border="0"&gt;&lt;tr height="8"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com&amp;#47;y1pFTHBF_N2yW7-pNfTKRV0vpIEpbMl-nqOaEiIvn1JgD4YPF62dagNZn9VKGkWG1Vw"&gt;&lt;img src="http://storage.live.com&amp;#47;items&amp;#47;3E90690278DD3F44&amp;#33;754&amp;#58;thumbnail" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="15"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com&amp;#47;y1pFTHBF_N2yW6gRcQZYa0-KvRfRUAFEiYwhut04b4AfHxLW_DRqYlMRnujhYL3mLOB"&gt;&lt;img src="http://storage.live.com&amp;#47;items&amp;#47;3E90690278DD3F44&amp;#33;755&amp;#58;thumbnail" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="15"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com&amp;#47;y1pGBLjv3deingyqqf4guXfhxb5qm7TBGkm1UPFw_KFFsG9gOBfSQ4JYJrpGNP-C2_V"&gt;&lt;img src="http://storage.live.com&amp;#47;items&amp;#47;3E90690278DD3F44&amp;#33;756&amp;#58;thumbnail" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="15"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com&amp;#47;y1pbnr9rmFyDI7pwuiw0B9mwA0W_N6P0AD34MSiHK1qCqyI7FkCNUT3k6zH6mjyTTqR"&gt;&lt;img src="http://storage.live.com&amp;#47;items&amp;#47;3E90690278DD3F44&amp;#33;757&amp;#58;thumbnail" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=4508218686336483140&amp;page=RSS%3a+New+TV+Series+%22Driving+Force%22&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=akashino.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=akashino"&gt;</description><comments>http://akashino.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3E90690278DD3F44!751.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://akashino.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3E90690278DD3F44!751.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jul 2006 14:11:13 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://akashino.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3E90690278DD3F44!751/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://akashino.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3E90690278DD3F44!751.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2006-07-19T00:03:51Z</dcterms:modified></item></channel></rss>
