		<title>Snow Tires are Still More Important than Four Wheel Drive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw the following video, and just hammered home that tires are more important than four wheel drive when it comes to traction in the snow:

		<title>Preliminary Track Guide to Lightning at NJMP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Due to some upcoming events, I have had requests for a turn-by-turn track guide to Lightning at NJMP.  I don&#8217;t have time right now for a detailed right up with video, so below is a preliminary guide.  I&#8217;ll base my corner markings off this map here.

		<title>Toyota Recalls 3.8 million Vehicles for Faulty Floor Mats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toyota is issuing a recall for 3.8 million vehicles because they have floormats that may cause the gas pedal to become stuck.  
While this can certainly be a major problem, far more concerning is the inability of people to effectively deal with the issue.  The NHTSA says that over 100 incidents have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Jersey Motorsports Park is Pretty Cool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was down at NJ Motorsports Park with the SCDA earlier this week.  We ran Thunderbolt on Monday, and Lightning on Tuesday.  All I can say is wow!
Thunderbolt was fun.  It is pretty fast, some elevation change, and takes a little while to get used to the speeds you can carry through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Massachusetts&#8217; Highest Court OKs GPS Tracking with a Warrant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent decision, Massachusetts highest court, the Supreme Judicial Court, gave the green light to Police tracking suspects with GPS if they have a warrant to do so.  
The facts stem from a drug bust for over 120 ounces of crack cocaine.  As with any possession-based offense (and especially something like crack [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hand and Steering Wheel Position as a Reference Point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve talked about reference points on the ground, as a rhythm, as your engine note, and now we can talk about using your hands and the steering wheel as a reference point as well.  As with other &#8220;soft&#8221; reference points, the benefit is that you have some additional frame of reference after your last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making sure your glasses fit in your helmet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When most people buy an auto racing helmet, their criteria is usually something along the lines of how well it fits their head, cost, and possibly the design if that is your thing.  But one aspect which few consider is arguably one of the most important: how well a pair of glasses fits with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engine Note as a Reference Point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We talked previously about using rhythm as a reference point.  Another useful reference point you can use is your engine note.  Engines of course sound different at every different RPM, and you can get a very accurate picture of your revs just by listening to your engine note.
Using your engine note as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Laps Around Monticello Motor Club</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here I am doing two clean laps around Monticello Motor Club in July 2009 with the SCDA.  This is the full, 4.1 mile course with 20 corners.  It looks like I&#8217;m not using all of the track, but that is just because of the view.  My wheels do extend quite a bit [...]]]></description>
