    BLOG: Future Of Racing

    The Future of Racing ( Shane Walters Blog )

    The Future of Racing ( Shane Walters Blog )

    Future Of Racing Doesn’t Look So Hot

    I’m back from the future, all 1.21 gigawatts powered down on the DeLorean time machine. I’m back to tell you about the future of racing and the death of your favorite sport.

    Today, fans fill the stands to watch drivers race side-by-side right on the edge of control at 200 mph. Drivers just a slip of the steering wheel or gas pedal away from smashing down a concrete or steel barrier or advancing a position. A controlled slide in every corner, a visual that is exaggerated on the dirt racing surfaces.

    The driver with a combination of greatest car control and the best car setup will likely be the winner. At least this is what the hardcore fans see. To your hardcore fan it doesn’t matter if the cars are going 60mph or 200mph because that’s not what they are there to see, they came to see the racing.

    The hardcore fans sitting in the stands tend to be the minority of the actual audience. Racing is a complex and ever evolving sport that realistically takes sitting in an actual racecar to fully understand.

    Most of your ticket purchasing race viewers are just your general auto racing fan who have never driven a racecar or they’re there to check out the experience with their friends or family. These people don’t see the same things that the hardcore fans see, they see the speed and the speed alone. What happens when the excitement level of speed is removed or depreciated?

    We are fast approaching times where our personal cars will drive themselves. The Google driverless car is already piloting around the streets of California, with not input from the passenger in the ‘drivers’ seat. Nearly every new Mercedes has technology to keep the vehicle between highway lines without the slightest touch of the steering wheel or gas pedal.

    Take into account cars are now equipped with the technology to apply the brakes automatically to avoid accidents and even parallel park for you. Cars are becoming safer and one day we will reach a point when zero cars and trucks on public roads are manually driven.

    When that happens, it will become safer to reach highway speeds over 130mph, taking out the human accident element. Highways will be like cars of a train, a line of cars all moving in sync with each other much like we saw on iRobot the movie. Likely, the computers in the cars will communicate with the other cars, meaning they will be able to make room for a lane change. When this happens, the speed limits will increase and the drivers will become numb to the speed.

    This is great for the last minute wakers who struggle to get to work on time. However, for the sport of racing it won’t be so good. The general fan won’t understand the thrill of watching cars racing in circles at 130mph when they reach those speeds daily on the highways. The won’t be interested in watching something they truly believe they could do themselves. The element of speed and the excitement level it brings to your general race fan is empty and so are the grandstands.

    The future of racing will see a dropping television audience as well as speedway seating capacities. The payouts will drop as a result but the costs of running a race team are forever on the increase. Small town tracks will close at an even faster rate. Now, the ground floor of the sport has been destroyed and we no longer have a means of driver development or a way of climbing the racing latter.

    Wait a minute Doc, this is of course a worse case senario. Personally, I think we will always have a form of auto racing. The changing elements and technology of the personal cars will of course effect the racing world.

    I think the forms of racing where car control is most visual will be the recipient of the biggest racing audience. Ice racing, rain racing, dirt racing both of these provoke interest. I’m not saying NASCAR and F1 will disappear but they will need to make changes to amplify visual elements of car control. The speed of the sport becoming irrelevant, forms of racing that show the balance control of the racecar most will prevail.

    A complete twist to this whole article is the new road technology could benefit all forms of the sport. It’s possible people will take a different angle to viewing motorsports. We might read future tweets like, “Great Scott! You mean people can actually drive these cars at these speeds manually?”

    I can’t predict the future of racing. I’m no future boy I only wish I was Marty McFly.

    BLOG: EMINEM Calls Danica Patrick A Vacuum On MMLP2

    New Eminem Logo MMLP2

    November 2, 2013 by Shane Walters

    EMINEM Calls Danica Patrick A Vacuum Listen Below

    New Eminem Logo MMLP2Buckle your seatbelt, rapper EMINEM is set to release his highly anticipated and quite possibly his final album on November 5th and if you’re easily offended then this isn’t the CD or article for you. While the CD hasn’t yet hit the store shelves just yet it has managed to leak onto the internet and put millions of ear sets to good use. The new Slim Shady CD features two references of NASCAR drivers. One is the mention of Danica Patrick while the other, in a different song, a mention of racing legend Dale Earnhardt.

    While EMINEM rarely speaks on NASCAR one could assume he is a fan of motorsports. In the past, he actually owned an ARCA Racing Series team that was formally based in his home state of Michigan. While not the driver himself, his name was featured as a title sponsor and co-owner of Carter / Eminem Motorsports.

    In the mashup track titled ‘So Far’ Eminem mentions he met NASCAR driver Danica Patrick while she was in nylons and a skirt, he followed by explaining a conversation he either had in his head or had in reality, calling her a vacuum. Most likely this ‘vacuum’ term is in reference to giving blowjobs and emphasis on rumors she ‘blew her way to the top’. While there is no way to prove the theory EMINEM relays, it has been the talk of the internet surrounding Danica Patrick and most female athletes who excel in not just male dominated sports but all jobs in life as well.

    Another theory is that Danica Patrick is a vacuum because she sucks at her job, which is another term thrown around by NASCAR fans in connection with a sentence on Danica Patrick. I’m not personally saying she sucks, I’m just pointing out the possible reasons EMINEM used the word vacuum to describe Danica Patrick.

    After calling Danica Patrick a vacuum EMINEM continued, calling himself a dirtbag. He then explained Danica and himself would be a perfect match. For those that didn’t catch the link there, a dirtbag fits into a vacuum.

    I wouldn’t go so far to say this line is disrespecting Danica Patrick or that the two actually ever really met. EMINEM is known for placing names of celebrities into most of his songs for the sake of putting a smile on your face as you listen and laugh. The names of choice usually mean nothing more than the fact they rhymed with a word used in the lines previous or following.

    Eminem ‘So Far’ Lyrics

    My nerves are bad, but I love the perks my work has
    I get to meet famous people, look at her, dag
    Her nylons ran, her skirt snag
    And I heard she drag-races, *burp* swag
    Tuck in my Hanes shirt tag
    You’re Danica Patrick (yeah) work, skag
    We’d be the perfect match
    Cause you’re a vacuum, I’m a dirtbag

    Danica Patrick was not the first driver on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tour to be mentioned by EMINEM on the new album. In the MMLP2 hit single ‘Rap God’ he also references fan favorite Dale Earnhardt.

    He says he’s racing around the track. The term track used here is not a a racing track but the actual music track and racing describes to the speed of his rhymes, a simple play on words and reference to the line that follows. He then raps he’s the Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park. Claims that both himself and Dale Earnhardt are legends and that EMINEM himself is a white trash god. Explained, EMINEM grew up in a trailer park and he’s saying he is the Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park. In other words, EMINEM says he’s the best (like Dale Earnhardt of NASCAR) and one of the most respected things to come from a trailer park.

    Eminem ‘Rap God’ Lyrics

    I’m beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God
    All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
    The way I’m racing around the track, call me Nascar, Nascar
    Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park, the White Trash God
    Kneel before General Zod this planet’s Krypton, no Asgard, Asgard

    The lyrics of both songs, much like poetry can be interpreted many ways. I simply pointed out many of the possible explanations. I’m not usually one to do that as in general it’s a complete waste of energy.

    As a die hard and long time EMINEM fan myself, I learned in 1999 he’s a genius when it comes to writing. Lines intertwine at warp speed. So many cross references through the course of a single verse can cause the actual meaning of lyrics used to have endless possibilities. The lyrics of wit can be interpreted many ways from the perspectives of each listener. That’s a result of the constant intertwines and continuations or play on the lines previous and following the current syllable, or even word play on lines from previous albums. In this latest case, EMINEM briefly gazed into past lyrics via short snippets on nearly every song featured on the new MMLP2, re-igniting early works.

    I usually just learn the rapid-fire machine gun firing lyrics, sit back, listen and enjoy my ear orgasm without looking into it too far beyond that. However, for the sake of this article I thought I should try my best to explain just some of the lyrics from my perspective, to help provoke a thought or two of your own.

    EMINEM was crowned artist of the decade for selling the most albums of any artist from any music genre between 2000-2010. The MMLP2 is close to EMINEM at his best. Hilarious, embarrassing, serious, murderous, creepy and tasteless lyrics push out songs that will blast sound waves on earth as long as laughter is considered an enjoyable human emotion.

    “I’m not here to save you, I’m just here for the ride. So, let me entertain you and everything will be fine.”

    BLOG: Bristol Motor Speedway The Last Great Colosseum

    Bristol Motor Speedway The Last Great Colosseum

    August 26, 2013 by Shane Walters

    Hold on tight I’m taking you to Bristol Motor Speedway the World’s fastest half mile

    Bristol Motor Speedway The Last Great ColosseumBristol Motor Speedway the last great colosseum. NASCAR fans fill the seats, 160,000 of them, twice a year to watch an underground boxing match of a race on a high-banked short track hidden within the smoky hills of Bristol, TN.

    Drivers dive nose first into turn 1, drag the brake until the car magically rotates at the center of the 30 degree turn. Back into the gas and onto the straightaway. Briefly catching their breath on the short 650 feet straight away only to hold it in and do it all over again in turns 3 and 4. Sinking into the seat, pushing the car right to the edge of the wall at the center of the corner with a car directly ahead and another up your ass. Breath you’re on the straight away again. Now do it 499 more times.

    Every lap is a struggle to hold the 800 hp cars in the right direction, it’s right on the edge of control at any given moment. It has to be, teams run high 14 second laps to grab the pole while last place runs in slim .5 seconds behind. The drivers are forced to push to car to the limits or choose to run last. They are not chasing tenths, they are in search of hundredths of a second that will give them an advantage over the 250 mile night race.

    Aggression is a requirement to win at Bristol Motor Speedway. If you take a quick look at the all time winners around the half mile. Darrell Waltrip, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, Cale Yarborough, Rusty Wallace, Kevin Harvick, David Pearson and Jeff Gordon are all really aggressive drivers. Racers who are fast but lack aggression like Kasey Kahne will consistently run second. If you want a win at Bristol you have to take it.

    160,000 seats make Bristol Motor Speedway the 8th largest stadium in the world. Why so many people? People will travel long distances to the middle of nowhere Tennessee for the show. Willing to pay high ticket prices for the tingling feeling received as 500 laps wind down quickly to 495 completed, first and second are nose to tail with just a handful of laps to go. Anything could happen during and after the race.

    I visited Bristol Motor Speedway twice a year for 15 years straight, an 8 hour drive each way. It was worth every mile. Until the track rebuild, I stopped logging those miles in 2008. Still I watch every practice and race lap every year but the new track configuration is no longer worth the drive. I’ve seen the best of Bristol and those days have come and gone. It’s still the best track in the world and I stand strongly behind that statement but it’s just not what it once was.

    Fans will always stand and cheer with excitement as a driver wrecks another driver under caution laps. It’s exciting. It’s much like a fight during a hockey game. The game is on pause but fans are still royally entertained. It’s the same concept but these drivers are strapped to race cars and they will use them as a weapon.

    Fans like to watch a brawl, not just the physical altercation between fists. While tempers often fly after the race as we saw this weekend with Kevin Harvick, it’s much more then that. Drivers are brawling with their own cars and the drivers in front of them throughout the length of the entire race. A simple rub just to agonize the driver ahead and hopefully drive him to make a mistake, all so you can grab the all desired position that he has over you.

    The layout of the track gives you multiple options. Dive to the bottom and hope for the best. However, the competitor at the top of the track will impede your progress when you reach the exit of corner side-by-side, preventing you from using up the full lane on the exit of 1 and 4. Frustration kicks in and it’s simply time to go. Use the bumper and put them in the wall as you drive on past. Hopefully, they wont come to a stop and drag you into the wreck with them.

    The track has been reconfigured multiple times over the years. Most recently, 2007 when track owner Bruton Smith attempted to destroy the single groove race track idea with multiple degrees of banking in the turns. The banking is now increased as you venture further up the tricky race track. Bristol Motor Speedway is now somewhat usable on both the top and bottom but realistically it’s still a single groove racetrack. The track rebuild only moved the preferred lane from the bottom of the track right against the yellow line to the top of the track right against the wall.

    I, like most fans, prefer the old Bristol Motor Speedway. It’s still exciting to see drivers run right against the wall but this makes the track bigger and the bump and run nearly impossible. Bump and runs can no longer be applied, if you do it you will put the driver in the wall. When drivers ran the bottom of the track you could bump them and they would generally save it before hitting the wall, only losing a few spots. Now, the bump and run is applied a lot less often because the consequences are much larger.

    In the past, drivers would race off the corner and dive under on corner entry to take the position. Sometimes, the driver ahead would attempt to slam the door shut but they were already there and there’s no backing out of it. You will either go around or slide up the track. Regardless of what you think of the old track, passing was easier on the old layout. When you couldn’t do it without contact you could always do it with contact and usually both drivers would continue to race another lap.

    Every lap turned would be another lap searching for that driver that gave the bump and run. It’s another level of excitement added to the race within the race. You wouldn’t see drivers run side-by-side for 30 laps on the old layout and that’s ok. They were bumper to bumper and eventually you would expect contact. Now, they run side-by-side lap after lap and nobody goes anywhere. The bottom is just too slow.

    Other tracks are fast but they lack excitement. Racing is much more than just speed and with the tracks added to the NASCAR tour in the past few years you would think NASCAR disagreed. However, this year a dirt track was added and finally it looks like the series is heading in the correct direction.

    I wish Bristol would tear up the whole track and go back to basics. 36 degrees of banking top to bottom. This would force everyone into the same line, bumper to bumber, A slow car would stack up the field, and quickly 10 cars would all be lined up ready to pounce at any moment. It would bring the excitement of the bump and run. That would be racin’ the way it outta be.

    MONOGAMY DEATH BY COMPUTER

    A Story: MONOGAMY DEATH BY COMPUTER

    2015 Shane Walters Portrait Photo IMG_0204

    Monogamy has taken a colossal leap off a cliff, taking the majority of us into dark cold waters along with it. It’s pointed me in a very dark, dangerous and direct path of dominating, submissive as well as the occasional angelic strangers, who are engaged by the tackle bate delivered. Sent not through water but instead through dating sites and various digital outlets. Delivered not from a boat via fishing rod but from the dark corners of the internet via my apple keyboard. Guys love to point the blame on females for failed opportunities at monogamy and vise-versa. What if it’s not the fault of either gender and instead just the times that have changed right under our feet?

    Recently, I have done my best to avoid anything close to a monogamous relationship. Running from the fear of the sure devastation to both parties after sharing your most intimate thoughts. It’s led me down the yellow illuminated highways long after last call, hours from home, into neighboring states, chasing the unsustained and extremely brief rush received from meeting almost any girl for the first time. This same rush is just intensified by the fact this girl is unaware of my real name and myself knowing it’s highly feasible she went with the same plan of attack.

    Soon after hello it’s likely one of us will be on our knees with a belt strapped around our necks or dancing horizontally on top of a dark red comforter. A belt not to be used for keeping our pants up but instead used as a leash to drag each other around a dark room leading to the sure removal of all clothing, pants included if this isn’t already the case as I walked through the back door threshold. The most extreme versions of daddy/daughter, schoolgirl, slave or any kind of roll play that sparked our interest in the heat of the moment.

    Outfits, ice cubes, dildos, vibrators, whipping sticks, pastel sharpie markers, rope, scented lubes and my personal favorite her overuse of eye makeup. This only allows me to make her eyeliner run like a water hose down both cheek bones during an extreme face fuck. Her head hanging upside down over the edge of the bed as gravity goes into effect on her eye makeup. Touching, sucking and licking the most taboo of area’s reaching for that moment when one of us draws the line and says “That’s too far”. Hours spent exploring every inch of the human body and our darkest fantasies that might be too dark to share with someone we know from our personal life. All these tricks and toys used only to keep the night interesting and hopefully create a memory.

    For years, I’ve held the philosophy that monogamy no longer exists and cant remember a point in time I thought otherwise. I recognize the temptation around nearly every corner of my daily travels. A romantic at heart I’ve never cheated or even broken off a relationship. I’ve always thought it was more important to have the ability to work through an issue then it was to match sexually, emotionally or mentally. I’m certainly no relationship expert but I’ve had my fair share of long lasting relationships that have ended in spectacular fashion. While I’ve always been a fan relationships it’s more because I selfishly just want to get close to someone, allowing me to bounce my most extreme thoughts off of them as opposed to the alternative of an overpaid therapist who is likely to be equally or more fucked up than myself.

    The world is getting smaller. It’s much easier for people in a monogamous relationship to fall to temptation when their Facebook inbox constantly fills itself with possible suggestions for new companionship. Dating sites spend millions in advertising and these companies dont care if you join the site in or out of a relationship, in fact on a select few it’s even encouraged for married men and women to join. Their are millions of people who are bored with their own marriage selfishly looking to pull happy couples apart for a single one night stand in hopes they fulfill an urge they cant shake to try something new and it all starts with a simple harmless “Hello”.

    In the past women stayed home and took care of the family while the men when to work providing the best they could from outside the white picket fences. We had far less options in the never ending search for compatibility. Today, we are looking at times when both sides of the partnership find themselves in offices surrounded by people disengaged from a failed marriage.

    These aborted marriages have led to more fish in the sea for us all to gaze at without being blinded by shiny rocks held in place by silver or gold bands. Men buy these large sized rings because to the single side of the the population they are better known as electric fences informing us to keep out. The lack of a ring only gives us all more options when we walk out of our homes and into the gates of population weither you are handcuffed to the rules of a marriage or not. Temptation, even for the most loyal couples is always lurking an ugly dark cloud over our heads forcing ourselves to ask the question, “What could be?”

    BLOG: F1 Korean Grand Prix An Eye Soar On The Formula One Tour

    October 16, 2011 by Shane Walters

    Formula 1 returned to Yeongam, South Korea for the Korean Grand Prix hosted at the Korean International Circuit. The track has taken some criticism over the past two years, it’s one of the newest tracks on the Formula 1 calendar, a virgin to F1 just last year and yet it’s appearance and major design flaws such as it’s unsafe pit exit would say otherwise.

    Most new tracks are designed with a magnitude of run off room which provide safety and damage control given an off track venture from one of the the multi millon Formula 1 machines. In the case of the Korean International Circuit the eye soar of unpainted concrete walls are placed just inches to the outside of the track for a large majority of the lap. The complex itself appears to be more of a construction site over a glamorous F1 facility and it has been reported after last years F1 event the gates were locked and untouched until one week prior to this weeks event. The circuit lacks the angelic beauty we expect to see from any modern F1 event when compared to recently built tracks like Dubai, Singapore or even India which might also explain the lack of spectators over the weekend.

    It was the first time all year a car other than a Red Bull would start on the pole. Lewis Hamilton who started P1 grabbed the early lead heading into turn 1 as Vettel slid into an unfamiliar 2nd with Button trailing. The two Ferrari’s who made up row three also failed to make up any ground at the start.

    As lap 1 continued tiny raindrops began to fall as Vettel worked the McLaren Mercedes of Hamilton. He dove to the inside several times for failed attempts but before the lap was complete he would take away the top spot. Massa the Ferrari teammate to Alonso worked his way to the top 3 as Button locked up his front tires forfeiting the position but Webber quickly took both positions away and found himself in 3rd, it was the first time all year Webber advanced his starting position on lap 1. Meanwhile, at the front as if we have all viewed this movie before, Vettel pulled a 1 second gap on Hamilton as they crossed the line to complete the first lap of the 55 scheduled.

    As the teams anticipated rain they would all avoid pitting as long as possible on the already relatively short lived Purelli tires. By lap 17 most front runners had made their pit stops. Unfortunately, 7 time F1 champion Michael Schumacher would bring out a safety car leaving parts all over the track as Petrov drove clear over his rear wing and nearly took out Alonso as well. Schumacher with his calm and collected personality was interviewed shortly after the incident, “That’s Racing” and said he had no idea Petrov was coming. As the safety car pulled in Vettel again resumed as the leader with Hamilton in pursuit.

    By lap 31, Webber teammate to Vettel had put his Red Bull back into the show, latching right onto the rear wing of Hamilton. This put the top three machines under a blanket which was a somewhat unfamiliar sight thus far during the 2011 season of the Vettel show. The rear tires began to quickly fall apart on the McLaren Mercedes and Webber saw his opportunity to pounce. As the two began swapping inside to outside, corner after corner Hamilton was able to hold off the position just as the team reported, “box this lap” instructing Hamilton to pit for tires.

    As Hamilton pitted the Red Bull of Webber also hit the box. Usually, the Red Bull team is untouchable when it comes to pit stops. However, this time Hamilton would beat him to the end of the pit lane holding the position. The battle would resume right where it left off before pitting as the two sliced and chopped each other all the while swapping positions. In the distance you could see the 4th place car of Button closing as these two slowed.

    20 laps remaining, Vettel pits and returns to the track in a league of his own turning the current fastest lap of the race. The gap was 9.9 seconds back to Hamilton.

    As the battle for the 2nd spot on the podium resumed Hamilton radio back to his team for more front wing, as the front of his machine was losing grip to the racing surface. “You’ve got everything we’ve got” replied the McLaren Mercedes team. Implying the max front end downforce adjustments had already been made.

    10 laps remaining, Vettel ahead by 11.2 seconds. Webber still pressing Hamilton for 2nd with Button pushing hard to join the battle. The Red Bull machine reached 312 KPH compared to the McLaren at 292 KPH at the straight’s end, showing the massive performance or gearing difference in the two machines. Again, Hamilton began to see the rear tires degrade impairing the performance of the McLaren.

    7 laps remaining, Button has closed to within 1 second of Webber allowing him to use the DRS (Drag Reduction System), a new piece of F1 technology introduced to facilitate more passing in the competitive F1 series. It allows a transformable rear wing to open, essentially removing the downforce of the rear wing for more straight line speed over the car ahead. However, as Webber saw Button closing he forced a move to the inside of Hamilton grabbing the 2nd position, moments later as the two crossed the DRS zone the rear wing slid open on the McLaren and Hamilton regained the position.

    4 laps remaining, Vettel in his own zipcode. Webber sets the fastest lap of the race and still stalking Hamilton. Button and now Alonso in 5th following closely emulating Button’s style. 2, 3, 4 and 5 all under a blanket as the end starts to appear and lapped traffic comes into view. Radio from Ferrari team to Alonso, “Use it up.”

    2 laps remaining, Radio from Alonso to team, “I give up, I give up.” He is still in the DRS zone under a second behind Button.

    Final lap, Hamilton sets the fastest lap of the race and continues to hold off Webber as they both pull a gap on Button and Alonso. Vettel crosses the line to set the fastest lap of the race on the final lap and grab his 10th win with Red Bull this season. Hamilton holds off Webber for 2nd and Alonso fails to reach Button.

    At the end of the day the track may not be as spectacular visually as we expect to see from the highest division of the motorsports industry. However, as race fans all we should carry anxiety about is the quality of racing itself and while Vettel dominated the event the rest of the field showed a fair share of hair raising action. At the same time the racing complex has the opportunity to add to the intensity of the racing such as the case of Monoco or Singapore where multimillion machines are racing through city streets or in Dubai where the building structures themselves give the appearance that we are racing in the future on a faraway planet much like the actual design of these dream machines. Many will ask as they did last year, “Should we return to Korea?”
