EvolutionM- Great message board for Evo owners
Lancer Register - An excellent Evo message board. Be careful though - they're Brits.
The Nut Cracker - my friend Will's site, mainly about his Evo 8 track car and his quest for improved lap times.
DP.net - Dennis Palatov's personal website detailing his ever-changing collection of gas-powered toys, as well as the creation of a sportscar of his own unique design.
Gunnar Racing - I find this site absolutely fascinating. The history, the attention to detail, and the subjects of their restoration work are just amazing. If I didn't hate hot weather + high humidity + fiberglass dust I might have already applied to work there. Seriously.
Pitchit Was Here - My cousin's website, mostly about desert racing.
Murray Motor Imports - Living in the Denver area and looking for a new BMW automobile? Please consider contacting a good friend of mine - Mr. Tony Zarcone.

Animated Engines - If you are curious how engines work, but have had a hard time picturing it in your mind, check out this site. He's done a fantastic job of putting various engines in motion.
Sniffpetrol - an irreverant e-magazine about the automotive industry and racing. If you're not already a fan of David Coulthard, they won't talk you out of it. Not exactly safe for work.
MOTORCYCLES

The Libertarian Party - the social freedoms of the Democrats combined with the fical conservatism of the Republicans - what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the rule book for this place.
