Randomly Speaking

Pills...

T

hose pharmacy dudes are watching us baby boomers like a hawk. Little by little they’re hooking us on more and more prescription drugs. It starts by using commercials that make no sense at all, “Ask you doctor about Ziyrtec or some other name that sounds like it’s a strange planet from outer space.” And like all good patients, we ask and then we’re hooked.

After years of popping Rolaids, I finally “asked my doctor” about the new Prilosek pills, as the commercial said. The Doc asked, “Do you have acid indigestion?”

“Me? No, but my truck coughs and sputters and thought I’d put some in the tank...

Yeah doc, you’re talkin’ to Mr. Junk Food here.” So she said “John why don’t you give Prilosek a test drive, here’s some freebies”. The next visit I said, “It works great Doc, I stopped into White Castle on my way back from a car show at 10pm, had 6 burgers and I slept like a log” with no upset stomach. I moved up from Rolaids to Nexium in one fell swoop.

But be careful, there’s side effects. Clarinnex and Zirtec are worse than LSD. I got strange dreams and nausea 4 times a day. As I think about it, the nausea keeps me from eating fast food, so it’s sort of a diet pill all rolled into one.

I also think the new drug names are very misleading. I thought “Vioxx” was a electric guitar amp made in the 70’s. The disclaimers are thare usually buried at the end of a commercial, “Druge x may cause dry mouth, tremors,

constipation, diarrhea, nausea, headaches and in some cases cancer.” Good Grief, I could start smokin’ and get all those for a lot less. In fact, one of those allergy medicines mentioned may cause bronchiospasms - so while you’re walking down the street, your arms begin to flail and your legs feel like rubber, but you will breathe through your nose easier.

It seems like for every med that takes away a problem, it creates another one. I know this is foolish reasoning, but it’s almost like they want to purposely get you hooked.

Imagine if that kind of thing happened in the automotive industry. You take your car to get the front end fixed and the mechanic comes out and says, “Well, we got new shocks and struts on your car, however, just as a word of caution, your gas tank might seep a little.” The word “seepage” doesn’t sound good whether it’s referring to a human or a car.

I think all this new pill stuff is just another way to increase doctor visits and make more money for drug companies.

What’s wrong with the old way... “Take 2 aspirins and call me in the morning?” This stuff is giving me a headache.

...course that’s just me Randomly Speaking.

HOT ROD SUPER NATS

HOT ROD SUPER NATS Photos & Words By Joe Secka

H

ot rods, customs, muscle cars and trucks rolled into the 350-acre Mahoning County Fairgrounds during June 23-25.

The well-groomed facility was perfect for a large show like this one. New ownership of the event was announced in May which created a slightly different look than in previous years.

Lee Hartman changed the name from the Steel Valley Super Nationals to the Hot Rod Super Nationals and made a few changes to the structure of the event to contain costs. The major sponsors of the show were Bob & Chuck Eddy Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Austintown and Summit Racing of Tallmadge.

Unfortunately, bad weather cancelled Friday’s Kickoff and After Party. But, then the sun came out and it was rockin’ for the next two days straight! Hot rods and muscle cars, monster trucks, motorcycles and show cars from NE Ohio and beyond pulled in each day of the show.

An estimated 1300 cars were on display Saturday including cars from Ontario, Canada.

Paved roads throughout the grounds made 16 Cruisin’ Times ~ December 2017

HOT ROD SUPER NATS Photos & Words By Joe Secka

18 Cruisin’ Times ~ December 2017

“cruising” quite popular while making access easy for the spectators. Some areas were blocked off to vehicles and designated as food court zones.

There was a Kid Zone with a bounce tent and other activities to consume the energy of the younger set. Several cars with TV and movie connections attracted attention and there was a line for rides in the back of a monster truck.

When the show at the fairgrounds closed down for the day, cruisers and fans headed for the Southern Park Mall where a large area was reserved for them to park and continue sharing their passions for hot rodding. The mall was an excellent place to wind down being just about a six mile drive from the fairgrounds location with numerous food/dining options. Plenty of parking for spectators made the evening show a comfortable success.

D&S automotive Words and Photos Ron Dustman

T

his is another one of those cruises that takes place at roughly the same time each year and anyone who’s been here makes a point of being here the year after. I’m one of those people! D&S Automotive is a well known East side collision and restyling shop that works hard to keep their reputation on top of everyone’s “excellent” list! From personal experience, I can attest to the fact that they are professionals in the work they do... and the cruises they host!

The 2017 cruise was attended by hundreds of spectators and local car fanatics. This year there were nearly (if not over) 230 cars that gathered at their Tyler Blvd. facility. Everything from a tiny blue Volkswagen truck to some massive Rat Trucks and everything in between!

Of course they were showing off their facilities and some of the projects they were currently working on. Make a point to be there next year!

Do-It Yourself

EXO SLEEVE

Winter Time Woes

I

know most of us aren’t doing too much hand car washing this time of year, maybe some of you take your vehicles to the full/self serve car washes, but in general, vehicles seem to get dirtier in the winter months. And even if you’re not doing much car washing, the windows still need to get cleaned on a regular basis, in order to see out of them!

I have found that keeping a few towels and some glass cleaner in the car makes all the difference, in addition to continuously topping off the windshield washer solvent.

There is nothing worse than being out of fluid, sun shining, roads wet and your pouring your Snapple on the windshield trying to get by!

The best glass cleaning: The best glass cleaning can be achieved with the combination of two different types of towels. One being cotton and the other being microfiber. The cotton will “scrub” the glass and remove the dirt build up while the microfiber towels are good for effortlessly removing any film left behind. If for some reason you still haven’t been using microfiber all these years, then you’re missing out, but if you do, then you’ll understand why this method works so well.

LINE & HOSE PROTECTION

Extra Tips: In the super cold temperatures, it is possible to use windshield washer solvent to cut the dirt and grime on your windows, especially your windshield. Use the same way as glass cleaner.

You will want to make sure that your glass cleaner doesn’t freeze in the vehicle, which is easier said than done, however, putting your towels around the can or bottle and sticking them in a box, can greatly help in keeping it from completely freezing if the temperature drops low enough for long periods of time.

Take a little extra time making sure your windshield washer solvent is topped off on a regular basis, it could really make the difference!

Make sure to roll the windows down a couple inches and clean the tops the glass, if yours roll up into the door frame.

Funny Car Match RacingEast Al Teel’s “ShowDown” Funny car

Jungle Jim

Funny Car Match Racing - East, by John Shapiro

A unique look at the fuel funny cars that roamed the Eastern, Midwest and Southern tracks during the late 60’s and 70’s. These “self sponsored” asphalt gypsies did it for love, going from track to track - three and maybe four times a week.

If you remember: The Chi-Town Hustler, the Eastern Raider, the Damn Yankee, the Super Duster, Color Me Gone, Mr. Norm, Jungle Jim Liberman, the Warlord or the Flying Dutchman, then you were there watching a Funny Car Match Race somewhere East of the Mississippi.

And... if you remember the Coca-Cola Cavalcade of Stars that made a stop at Dragway 42, Thompson & Pittsburgh, we’ve included a special Color chapter devoted to those burgeoning Funny Car Stars.

Roger Lindamood, “Color Me Gone” Coca-Cola Cavalcade of Stars

Funny Car Match RacingEast Al Teel’s “ShowDown” Funny car

Jungle Jim

Funny Car Match Racing - East, by John Shapiro

A unique look at the fuel funny cars that roamed the Eastern, Midwest and Southern tracks during the late 60’s and 70’s. These “self sponsored” asphalt gypsies did it for love, going from track to track - three and maybe four times a week.

If you remember: The Chi-Town Hustler, the Eastern Raider, the Damn Yankee, the Super Duster, Color Me Gone, Mr. Norm, Jungle Jim Liberman, the Warlord or the Flying Dutchman, then you were there watching a Funny Car Match Race somewhere East of the Mississippi.

And... if you remember the Coca-Cola Cavalcade of Stars that made a stop at Dragway 42, Thompson & Pittsburgh, we’ve included a special Color chapter devoted to those burgeoning Funny Car Stars.
