		<title>In Memory of Phil Hill and All the Other Racers I Never Knew</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ When I heard that Phil Hill had died, the first thing I did was read his Wikipedia entry to find out who he was. At first, I thought he was somehow connected with Graham Hill, the 2-time F1 champion from England who died in a plane crash over 30 years ago. Hill—the former Hill—remains [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Far Ahead Should You Be Looking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The question of how far ahead to look is big and important one.  Common wisdom is that you should be looking through a corner, to where you want the car to go.  Clint is a strong advocate of this technique, and it is what is taught at virtually every performance driving school.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Patrol: What, is everybody a race car driver these days?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most car people like to exaggerate their abilities, their knowledge, and their accomplishments. They do it because it’s easy: Buy a fairly fast car (a 300hp turbo 3000GT goes for well under 10 grand these days, and you can get an E36 M3 for 15 grand), put on an exhaust, hit the drag strip, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>OH MY GOD YOU RACE CARS!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The reaction I typically get when someone finds out I race cars and will be driving them around is usually one of absolute terror.  The image they always have is of my car screaming along at the speed of light, weaving in and out of cars, and generally driving them within an inch of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should Motorsports Be an Olympic Event?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When people think of Olympic sports, we tend to think of sports powered by some sort of muscle power.
