Taking your four-wheeler off road is one of the big reasons you no doubt bought your ATV in the first place. That feeling of being able to travel easily over very tough terrain is why the ATV has become such a popular recreational vehicle. We don’t really think about it very much but the engineering that goes into a four-wheeler is pretty phenomenal. Makers that provide ATVs to the four-wheeler markets make those machines to be basically “ready for anything”. They know that people who own all terrain vehicles take that title seriously and really will take that ATV onto the most thorny and hostile environments and expect them to roll over downed trees, ravines anything else they might encounter in the wild and do so with ease.

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), was conceived on a bar room napkin. The bar to which the napkin belonged was known as the Ebony Bar, which was located at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach. The conversation from which the napkin gained import was held in 1948 by both drivers and promoters of local stock car races. It’s reported that stock car races began as early as the 1900′s in the Daytona Beach area. The meeting, and the napkin, might never have come to be had a mechanic named William France, Sr. not have moved to the Daytona area from Washington, D.C. in 1935. By 1936, he, too, had been captured by the sport, and even managed to finish fifth in a local race. Mr. France was moved to participate in such a meeting after his stint in racing for two reasons: a) he believed the sport had a potential for a following, and b) he believed the drivers were being mistreated by unregulated promoters who simply chose not to pay them.
