Book ?em!

Another season of the inRacingNews Challenge is in the books, and while the final results feature some new names atop the championship standings, others stay the same. Case in point: While the Pontiac Solstice class crowned a new champion in Marius Golombeck, replacing Chris Higgins (who still placed sixth overall despite only scoring points in six of eight weeks), Gabriel Tobar remained the champion of the SpecRacer Ford class. Neither sim racer gave their opponents much of a chance at a fair fight. Golombeck?s line was an impressive 24 wins in 27 starts, with 17 poles to boot. Tobar, though, was on another planet entirely: 17 starts, with poles and top-five finishes in each, and a win in all but one.

dukes of hazzard jump gone wrong

Just a good ol' boy. Tryin' to jump real high. Beats all you ever saw, fightin' physical law and thinkin' he's gonna fly.
