Bobby Allen's racing hauler

By: milwhcky.
Legendary sprint car driver Bobby "Scruffy" Allen's racing hauler is seen parked at the go-cart track that he owns.
While growing up in Florida, Bobby watched his father compete in the early days of NASCAR. Bobby became an international karting champion at a young age and befriended Indy 500 driver Jim Rathmann, getting a job working in his shop. At the age of 20, Bobby moved north to Pennsylvania in 1966 with hopes to someday race in the Indy 500 himself.
Once he settled in to his new surroundings, he realized he could make a better living by racing 3-4 times per week on the area's dirt oval tracks, putting his dream of becoming an Indy driver aside. By the early 70's, he took to the road and traveled to as many races that he could find.
He was an original member of the World of Outlaws sprint car series that began touring the country in 1978. Unofficial totals have him winning 276 sprint car events, including 67 with the World of Outlaws. His biggest win was the 1990 Knoxville Nationals - the sport's annual crown jewel event. Allen was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1998.
Parked next to his hauler in this Street View scene is his grandson Logan Schuchart's hauler. Another grandson, Jacob Allen, is also an aspiring racer.
One of my favorite memories of Scruffy was seeing his hauler racing past our car on the way to a United Sprint Association race at Sharon Speedway in 1989. Just before getting to the track, Allen was pulled over by a local police officer. Not sure if he talked his way out of the ticket, but he did manage to unload at the track in time for the first warmup session.

Tom Simpson (30 November 1937–13 July 1967) was a British professional cyclist, one of Britain's most successful of all-time. In the 13th stage of the 1967 Tour de France, he collapsed and died during the ascent of Mont Ventoux, aged 29. The post-mortem examination found that he had taken amphetamine and alcohol, a diuretic combination which proved fatal when combined with the heat, the hard climb of the Ventoux and a stomach complaint. A memorial stands close to the spot where he died and has become a pilgrimage for many cyclists.

Art Blakey
WacoKidd110 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: WacoKidd110.
Arthur "Art" Blakey (October 11, 1919 – October 16, 1990), known later as Abdullah Ibn Buhaina, was an American Grammy Award-winning jazz drummer and bandleader.
Along with Kenny Clarke and Max Roach, he was one of the inventors of the modern bebop style of drumming. He is known as a powerful musician and a vital groover; his brand of bluesy, funky hard bop was and continues to be profoundly influential on mainstream jazz. For more than 30 years his band, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, included many young musicians who went on to become prominent names in jazz. The band's legacy is thus not only known for the music it produced, but as a proving ground for several generations of jazz musicians; Blakey's groups are matched only by those of Miles Davis in this regard.
Blakey was inducted into the Jazz Hall of Fame (in 1982), the Grammy Hall of Fame (in 2001), and was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
