Yeah, it's not being publicized much but I've found a few places that are pretty reputable.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

Boyd gave me the impression that he was a down-to-earth, decent person and nice guy.... no 'star' quality and no 'star trip' about him.

He will be missed. I wish there were more like him.
