I really like Auto racing. In fact I'm watching the British Grand Prix right now!

There was races for automobiles as soon as they recorded as early as 1867.

It sure has come a long way. This formula 1 race right now is downright bonkers.

By the 30's there had been special racing cars created.

Was that influenced by the advent of the Ford v8?

Sounds right. The first organized contest ran on april 28 1987 by chief editor of Paris Publication "Le Velocipede Monsieur Fossier which I find very interesting.

I really like the old Ford flathead v8. I see it as the swan song of Henry Ford; his last great gift to the world.

Yeah. Fords are great. American made. There are now numerous different categories, each with different rules and regulations for each class of cars and events.

Do you mean in motor racing? There are more racing leagues than you can shake a stick at. Obvioiusly though, I'm partial to Formula 1.
