Rocky Mountain Race Week is a bit different when compared to other Drag and Drive events, because unlike other events who crown winners only based on the average over five days, they crown averages winners after four days of racing and the final day of racing is a big money shootout that takes everyone’s best passes for the week to put them into two 8 car shootouts, a 16 car shootout, and a dial your own bracket race. It makes for some excitement, and the winnings are for real. Here’s a highlight video that shows all the final day action.

Red Bud, IL

Chad Reed Nailed the Start, but Ricky Carmichael Took the Win. In this week’s Throwback we dial back the clock 19 years to 2005 and visit the track that was then called Red Bud Track ‘N’ Trail and now is simply called RedBud MX. The start of the first 250cc moto of the day had Yamaha’s Chad Reed (No. 22) jumping to a quick start over James Stewart (No. 259), Ricky Carmichael (No. 4) and David Vuillemin (behind Reed). Reed led for a couple of laps before a rock caused the chain to jump off the sprocket of his machine. At that point Carmichael took over the lead and sailed away to an 18.287-second victory over Stewart and Kevin Windham. It was more of the same in the second moto as RC pulled away to another lopsided victory to score the 1-1 overall. The MX series will be back at RedBud this Saturday for the 2024 edition of the historic event.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
