This has nothing to do with this thread,(suprise!) but it might be
interesting none-the-less.

Flipping channels last night I caught a bit of an old Nascar at Bristol
on ESPN Classic. The time frame looked to be around the days of thunder
time.
#3 was there, and Rusty had a black car, M Waltrip was still in the yellow
Kodak Pontiac.

Mark Martin hit the wall. Some time later, they had a pit report and the
showed a shock in two pieces. The bumps were so bad that Martin had pulled
the shock shaft/seal from the shock body. It was not damaged, just pulled
completely out of the shell of the shock absorber. (damper to Euro folk?)

Timely? Yes. Relevant? no. But dang wierd.
