Pro Turbo and Pro 2000 see prizes increase to $20,000 for 1st place. NORRA 500 takes place in Baja on October 11th-13th. Off-road racing is one of my all-time favorite racing structures, as dirt, sand, mud, gravel, and snow offer something every other series doesn't have: chaos. Those mediums can change throughout a day, change since you recced the course, and even change as you're on them.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
