Positive Thinking vs. Negative Thinking:
Many of us have been known to swear, scream, or throw something from time to time. Why are we likely to display these actions? There is a three-step process to negative thinking or actions.

Well, we have made some great gains in the last few weeks.
We started learning how to tune and run the Slider Clutch at about the same time Anne is getting used to the G force of our 500

PowerBlock Blog…..Check out this stout 1968 Dodge Super Stock Hemi Dart. It’s a tribute car built by B2 Cars.

This Dart has a ray [...]
We did it! Anne ran her 1st 20. We were testing at SGMP ( South Georgia Motor Sports Park ) We were still spinning hard in low gear on the Star Racing Pro Extreme Motorcycle. We “progressed” the NOS system to go 100% a little further out and Anne Hansen spun her way to a [...]
