Nope. Not familiar with it. Should I be flattered or insulted?

I don't think that it was aimed at you, Scotty.

The "Here's your sign" schitck is done by Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engval (two popular redneck comics, in case you aren't familiar with their work). It has to do with rather senseless questions; an example: You and your family go to a Christmas tree lot for a tree. The propriator asks you, "You folks here to buy a tree?" You answer, "Nope. My little boy has to use the bathroom and these trees sure look inviting - Here's your [stupid] sign."

There is an entire series of silly questions and snappy comebacks... I think the "Here's your sign..." thing is kind of needless and harsh but people seem to get a kick out of it, so what do I know?

It wasn't aimed at anyone in reality. It was one of those questions/responses that just seemed trigger the thoughts of the Jeff Foxworthy skit about "Here's your sign". I try to be a defender of the under-dog but in my sometimes slanted mind the answer, although specifically unknown, seemed to be obviously begging for a response.

So Bob ...... who did win the first powerless steering race ???? OH ... My sign is the one down the street. STOP !!!

I just love rhetorical questions. I go along with Scotty; the first guy to ever win an auto race did, unless you want to count "armstrong power steering" as actual power-assisted steering.

In years gone by I have owned some autos with that power steering system installed. Very inexpensive to maintain until it gets on in years. Then it gets a mechanical problem called arthritis !!

Josh since these guys are in a pissing contest I would be more than happy to help u out.... I did a speech on NASCAR safety a couple of months ago and rememberd reading this somewhere. Here goes
The first official race was won by Milt Marion in Daytona Beach Fl. in 1935. Bill Sr. started it all and this was his first race with a purse. Hope this helped you. Got to NASCAR origin and history if you ever want more info.
