‘Ferrari: Race to Immortality’ We’re all gearheads and can appreciate a good show or movie about cars and racing. Here is one that based on watching the trailer looks to us like a very good movie to take a break for and watch it. The movie—Ferrari: Race to Immortality—will be available for streaming on Amazon July 24, 2018. The film carries an 89 percent Rotten Tomatoes score on nine critical reviews. The description of the film is as follows: The 1950s. Dawn of the iconic Scuderia Ferrari in the Formula One World Championship and deadliest decade in motor racing history. As cars pushed the limits of human ingenuity, drivers lived on a knife edge between life and death. At the center of it all was Enzo Ferrari, a towering figure in motor racing and patriarch of Ferrari who dared to dream about speed in ways nobody else could. Amidst the stiff competition within his team, two of its stars, Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn, decided that their friendship was as important as winning the next race. Ferrari: Race to Immortality tells the story of the loves and losses, triumphs and tragedy of Ferrari's most decorated drivers in an era where it was la dolce vita during the week and a coin toss of whether they lived or died on the weekend. Check out the movie trailer at https://youtu.be/1kZXqvHQZa4 by copying and pasting in your browser or find it on www.youtube.com

Winter Hot Rod Fun in Music City USA!

Story / Photography by Jimmy B

Nashville, being located in the MidSouth / Southeast region of the country, doesn't experience what you would call, cold & heavy snowfall winters. Yes it does get very cool and sometimes downright cold too. Snow even pops into the forecast once in awhile, but generally not a terrible time of year.

Still it is winter and gearheads have their cool rides tucked away for a little while. Projects going on in garages and shop across the region too. 40

Sometimes though, the winter blah’s set in after the holidays, and sometimes you just have to take a break from the project work and go have some gearhead fun. For 27 years, the Nashville Auto Fest has provided that relief from “cabin fever” and project overload”. The Nashville Auto Fest is part car show, swap meet, car corral and lots of vendors all under the roof of the Tennessee State Fairgrounds buildings. Even if it’s chilly out in the parking lot, once you get inside it’s nice and warm, especially with all those cool cars and trucks on display. Check out some of the cool rides we captured at this year’s “Fest” and make plans to be part of or check out the 28th annual show...it will help you cure that cabin fever you’ll have about that time! 41

JULY 2018: JULY 26-29: SALINAS KS: 38TH LEADSLED SPECTACULAR: GET READY HOTRODDERS! THE KING OF DRAG RACING! “Big Daddy” DON GARLITS is coming to the Kustom Kemps Of America LEADSLED Spectacular, And He’s Bringing SWAMP RAT-12 TO CACKLE! Don Garlits (born January 14, 1932, Tampa, Florida) is an American icon

race car driver and automotive engineer. He is considered the father of drag racing. He is also known as "Big Daddy" to drag racing fans around the world. Always being a pioneer in the field of drag racing, he perfected the rear-engine top fuel dragster design, an innovation motivated by the loss of part of his foot in a dragster accident. This design was notably safer since it put most of the fuel processing and rotating parts of the dragster behind the driver. The driver was placed in front of nearly all the mechanical components, thus protecting the driver and allowing him to activate a variety of safety equipment in the event of catastrophic mechanical failure or a fire. Garlits was an early promoter of the full-body, fireresistant Nomex driver's suit, complete with socks, gloves, and balaclava, (knit cap for the head and neck). Garlits was the first drag racer to officially surpass the 170, 180, 200, 240, 250, and 270 miles per hour marks in the quarter mile; he was also the first to top 200 mph in the 1/8 mile. In May of 2014 at age 82, Garlits set a 184 mph (296 km/h) speed record in an EV dragster, a battery-powered electric vehicle that does not burn fuel. Garlits has been inducted into several Halls of Fame and has won many awards though out his on going career. KKOA highly suggests, from a personal experience, if you’re in Ocala, Florida to take the time to visit the

“Big Daddy” Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. It’s located just off busy I-75 @ 13700 SW 16th Ave. And, guess how long his driveway is to his home and Museum! One “Quarter Mile.” Well deserving, to a true American hero. Don’t Miss This Chance To Meet & GreetThe Worlds Most Famous Drag Racer.
