Repsol Honda Team

The first qualifying session of the 2011 Championship took place in Qatar this evening with Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa occupying the top two positions on the grid.

The Repsol Honda riders spent much of the early part of the session exchanging fastest laps and were the only two riders to break into the low 1’54s. Stoner’s pole time of 1’54.137 was almost a second quicker than his own Pole Position set here in 2010. Pedrosa took second place with a time of 1’54.342 and Jorge Lorenzo completed the front row of the grid for tomorrow’s race. Andrea Dovizioso qualified in 7th position after finding some traffic on track during his flying laps. However, he is confident he can fight for a podium in tomorrow night’s race.

CASEY STONER – 1st - 1’54.137

“We can’t ask for a much better weekend, everything has gone well and the team have made all the right steps and gradually improved the bike as the weekend progressed. Tonight I was able to achieve good, consistent lap times again on the hard tyre and this is important for the race tomorrow. As ever, we will keep our feet on the ground as we’ve had good starts to seasons in the past and then they haven’t played out as expected, we just need to keep working and ensure that we continue to progress. We’ve done all our homework and the best job possible, now I just want to get the season started”.

DANI PEDROSA – 2nd - 1’54.342
“The weekend has been very good for us so far, I’ve been running at the top in every session and I’m very happy to be on the front row in Losail for the first time; this is a big improvement for me. Nevertheless, we have to focus on the race, Casey is running very fast, also Lorenzo is improving very quickly, so we have to focus making no mistakes tomorrow. I don’t know yet if the race will be a fight between Casey and myself. We’ve never run at 10:00 pm, so I hope the bike works well after 125 cc and Moto2 races. I want to prepare as best as possible for tomorrow and be ready to be consistent for 22 laps. The race will be fast, I guess, so we will need to maintain a high pace. I hope I will be able to do it and fight for the victory”.

ANDREA DOVIZIOSO – 7th - 1’55.229
“I’m disappointed with the third row, I need to improve the use of the soft tyre for a better qualifying. The positive point is that we have a good pace to fight for a podium spot, this is our target tomorrow. We will work during the warm up to improve the set up to get more stability at the beginning of the braking and I hope to gain more confidence and find a good stability in the front. For the race it will be very important to have a good start and arrive at turn 1 close to the first riders. It is impossible to catch Casey, I will try to maintain contact with Dani, Lorenzo and Spies. It’s important to start the season with a good result and I will give everything in the race”.

The Spring Break Tuner Bash, presented by Toyo Tires, rolled into South Padre Island for the second year in a row, and definitely didn’t disappoint. Tuner Bash offered a Dyno Challenge for the horsepower-heads, an awesome and diverse car show for the fans, and a rather revealing bikini contest was just the beginning. Along with the activities of the two day event, vendors such as Toyo Tires, GM, NGK, and Black Magic came out to support the show. Cars from all over Texas came to show off what they had to grab the coveted Best of Show honors and a $1,000 check.


GM showed off an impressive array of cars including the new Solstice, HHR and Cobalt in tuner-ready form.

As a last-minute entry on Saturday, this 350z sporting twin turbos, a widebody kit and a complete ICE system with dual carbon-fiber nitrous bottles wowed the crowd and the import showoff judges as it went home with the best of show award.

You couldn’t help but notice this wild Mastergrade widebody Honda S2000. We noticed him sporting the ride up and down Padre’s streets trying to catch a glimpse from the ladies. Be sure to look out for his Super Street feature in the near future as well.


Other notable cars include a crazy tribal graphics theme Acura Integra from Baliztik that took home awards, as well as a 350z sporting a Stillen Stage 4 supercharger. We also saw Underground Graphics’ Subaru STi owned by Greg Lilly.



Coupled with the hot cars were even hotter girls from Chicago and Texas, the girls got down and dirty on the stage. They partied hard, and some were a bit tipsy on stage, but they kept the crowd entertained as they ripped off their t-shirts and laid it all out for the cash prize. In the end, Toyo Tires model Mercedes Terrell took home the first place prize on Sunday and a $1,000 check.

Car makers shut shop for a while [pictures

In reporting this story, we have to underline the obvious human toll of the disaster, as well as the horrendous destruction to property and the livelihoods of the Japanese people. While the international news networks continue their excellent work covering the story, as car journalists and huge fans of Japanese cars in general, we thought we should bring you this story.

Honda, Nissa, Toyota and Subaru, Isuzu and Hino Motors (a large truck manufacturer) have all halted production indefinitely in Japan, as the country takes stock of the destruction caused by last week’s earthquake and subsequent tsunami. At least one person died at Honda’s R&D facility, and two fires broke out at a Nissan plant.
Nissan has reported damage to 2300 new vehicles and minor damages to four of its factories. While the factories themselves have reported little damage, transport networks and of course the ports, via which all cars are exported to foreign markets, have been badly damaged and will take considerable time to repair.
Car makers are likely to keep assembly plants closed until they are certain the supply chain has recovered enough to meet the demands of regular production. At this point it is unclear whether the effects will be felt in overseas markets, although there is likely to be a disruption in new models and/or parts in the North American market.

The Japanese manufacturers are widely known for running “just-in-time” assembling methods. This means that the parts for a particular model arrive at the factory hours, even minutes before they are needed. This is all good and well when everything is running smoothly, but the tsunami has led to a massive disruption in this system. Some part suppliers are set up very close to the factories, but many are further afield, particularly in the north-western region of the country, most heavily affected by the tsunami.
New cars which were standing in ports waiting to be exported were smashed, burned and mostly drowned as the water rushed over breakwaters, leading to some astonishing images of thousands of cars being destroyed.

Honda Fit

The Honda Fit was chosen by a 60 member panel, that was comprised mostly of automotive journalists, as Japan’s Car of the Year. Unavailable in the U.S at this point, the Fit is a hot item in Japan with expectations of 12,000 units per month in initial sales and in the first 2-weeks of availability sales of over 20,000 cars.

Boasting a new larger size and sleeker look, the second generation subcompact Fit is expected to garner more U.S. interest when it becomes available in the U.S next year. Honda Fit has a well-matched five-speed transmission with strong first and second gears. It has a 1.5 liter engine with 109 horsepower, 1-5 pound-feet of torque and does 0 – 60 mph in 9.8 seconds. It is available in FWD as a 5-passenger 4-door hatchback.

The EPA city/highway fuel economy for this little jewel is 31/37 mpg and while it might not be the coolest car you will ever drive, for the price its a good value automobile.

Base Price: $14,445 – $15,765

Although she danced under the name Scarlet at the club, her real name was Heather Dietz. She was an Asheville native from a middle-classed family. She was college educated, but had pursued a modeling career after graduating. She had become disappointed when she was continually turned down for modeling jobs because of her weight. She wasn’t fat, however, the industry was currently using ‘crack addict’ thin women. She did a couple of department store catalog shoots, but had been unable to support herself long-term, so she turned to stripping. At first, she was shy and hated it, but the allure of so much cold hard cash soon changed all that. She never liked taking her top off, but she averaged $150-$200 a night, so she endured it. Her plan was to dance for three years, enough time to save the money to move to Hollywood, California and continue to pursue her modeling career. She only had six more months before she was going to make that happen.

The 8 headlights are superior and enhance the look of the bike. The bike is fast and zooms well on road because of its lightweight. On the downside, you can feel the vibrations at high speed and riding position is a little uncomfortable.
