True Story - Stock Car Racing.

Shadows Of Pavements presents The True Story Of Stock Car Racing. Stock car racing in the United States has it´s origins in bootlegging during Prohibition, when drivers ran bootleg whiskey made primarily in the Appalachian region of the United States. Bootleggers needed to distribute their illicit products, and they typically used small , fast vehicles to better evade the police. Many of the drivers would modify their cars f, or speed and handling, as well as increased cargo capacity, and some of them came to love the fast-paced driving down twisty mountain roads. The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 dried up some of their business, but then Southerners had developed a taste for moonshine and a number of the drivers continued "runnin shine". The cars continued to improve, and by the late 1940s, races featuring these cars were being run for pride and profit. These races were popular entertainment in the rural Southern United States, Most races in those days were of modified ca

True Story - The Discovery Of America.

Shadows Of Pavements presents The Discovery Of America! In school we learned about that America was discovered in 1492, on a journey paid by the spanish king, by Christofer Columbus(of genovese origin; italian). He believed he had found a western route to India, and therefore the natives were called indians. America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, an italian from Florens, who was in spanish service under his voyages to America. Are you confused? I am! Short story goes like this: Spain´s king paid for the journeys and two italians discovered and named the new continent to America. They believed they were in India, so they named the natives indians. We agree? Ok! Above is a photo of Christopher Columbus as a statue in New York. Now my theory is that they didn´t! Because around year 1000 the viking from Greenland, Leif Eriksson, discovered Markland andVineland. That is todays Labrador and New Foundland. The written tales tells us that before Leif Eriksson another viking from
