Fans have seen it all in 64 years of racing at Stockton 99 Speedway. The quarter-mile bullring on the east side of this rowdy port city in Northern California has been the site for 44 divisions of racing; from the Jalopy division of the 1950s to the all-time quickest lap in speedway history; which was wheeled by Johnny Brazil; a legendary local lead foot whose hot laps in a Super Modified fire breather on the night of June 1; 1985; left a normally boisterous gathering hypnotized in jaw-dropping silence as the scoreboard logged quick time after quick time; finally dipping under 12 seconds before bottoming out at 11.899. Stockton 99 has served as a stepping stone for a future Daytona 500 champion (Ernie Irvan) and as a Saturday-night getaway for local hot shoes who saved their pennies just to keep their rods running for the one thing they loved to do on a Saturday night: race. The old track flat-lined in 2006�at the age of 60; stricken by development�but was shocked back to life in 2009 and again is hosting races in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series and the NASCAR KN Pro Series West.

I felt as if I wanted to know how to create a beautiful human beingBy qwertyThere are very many words in this book; and I felt that a lot of thought was put into compiling of this book. But I could not read it. I felt as if I wanted to know how to create a beautiful human being; and was told "take 5 ounces of fine hair; a strong skeleton; put some barley into the scull; wrap it in the meat and patent leater"...
