Hello World!

Welcome to Tail Tanks and Torsion Bars, a new blog featuring news, stories and results from the open wheel racing world of Eastern and Central Pennsylvania. 410 cubic inch winged sprint cars will be the main focus, but I also plan to delve into 358 sprinters as well as sportsmen and wingless midgets from throughout the region. Williams Grove will be the backdrop for many of the reports and will be supplemented with updates from wherever the road may lead. I'll also try to sneak in some commentary from happenings around the motorsports world and possibly throw in a few other things of interest when the mood hits.

Writing is something I've enjoyed since my school days in at Lebanon(PA) Junior High School. I've never been formally trained or taken any classes outside of the required curriculum in high school, so my style may be a bit unorthodox and I doubt that I'll be compared to the great Chris Economaki anytime soon. Really, I doubt that I'll be compared to any other reasonably good auto racing journalist out there either. My main goal is to entertain or maybe even educate a few people along the way. If I can do that, I'll consider this endeavor a complete success.

I expect to have the first update ready to go shortly after the opener at Lincoln Speedway and will continue from the Pigeon Hills oval before switching over to cover Williams Grove weekly once they open later in March.

So until next time, thanks for stopping by and hope you come back again real soon.
