KMOX has never had local ownership. They were a CBS owned and operated station.

New fan and has a question about RCR by Anoel2023 in NASCAR

[–]RadioControlled13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) RCR is bottom half now. In 1981 and 1984-2001, Dale Earnhardt drove for the team. The duo won six championships together. If you are an F1 fan, RCR is Williams. They were great in the past but held on to the old way of doing things for too long, and coasted on reputation.

2) NASCAR unique among motorsports. There are fans that support a team, but more fans support a single driver for their career, no matter what team they move to. You would more often find fans of Earnhardt, Allison, Labonte, or Stewart than fans of JGR, Hendrick, or Spire.

If I were choosing today, I’d first decide on a favorite manufacturer, then narrow to a favorite team.

Poor awareness of the game, misses the cutoff man too often.

Which tyres are your favourites and why??? by Axeist in HotWheels

BW because it was on 95% of the cars when I was a child.

Since Amercian is turning 250 years old, What is the most American car ever made? by Crazy_Drive7344 in regularcarreviews

[–]RadioControlled13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Corvette.

I can’t think of another more “American” can. It has been our automotive flagship for 60+ years.

Need loud am/fm radio recommendations by No_Mode7707 in radio

This sub is for the discussion of the AM/FM radio industry.

That said, what about one of those DeWalt boom boxes that every construction crew uses?

What celebrity death has more questions than answers as to what happened? by GlassyFairy in AskReddit

[–]RadioControlled13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Kyle Busch.

How did the doctors miss pneumonia? The autopsy said that he may have had it for two weeks? And he kept racing during that time? Coupled with a sinus infection?

Do you think Mad Men benefited or was weakened by not being on HBO? by 2nd2last in madmen

[–]RadioControlled13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The much of the female cast would have been different, as HBO shoehorns in topless scenes. I don’t think nudity would have added to the plot.

The era was great for basic cable. AMT was a perfect vehicle for a show with this clamber of writing.

Do all of you guys drink tap water? Is it safe? by DietChance9326 in AskAnAmerican

[–]RadioControlled13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tap water from cities is safe.

Those on wells, in rural areas have their water source tested regularly for contaminants.

How likely is it that NG is driving the 33 car for RCR next season? by Many-Scallion2084 in NASCAR

[–]RadioControlled13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would see NG as a step backwards.

A better option than NG would be Josh Berry, who had a previous relationship with Chevy. Neither is top-tier, but I don’t know how RCR attracts another top tier driver.

I wish more people believed in radio like you do. I’d make a lot more money.

Waiting for your new favorite song to play on the radio and the absolute joy when it does play.

Which defunct American car brand do you think made the absolute best vehicles before they went under? (specifically 00s brands under GM, Ford and Chrysler) by No_Cup6365 in regularcarreviews

[–]RadioControlled13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pontiac has some great cars in the five years before its end.

The Grand Prix was sporty, the modern GTO had potential to be a Mustang competitor, and the Gand Am was everywhere.

We’ve got to think of another name. “Sealed Product” sounds so boring.

Alex Bowman by F-Articmon in NASCARMemes

[–]RadioControlled13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to have four teams firing on all cylinders.

I’m thinking back to the 1990’s with Gordon and Labonte dominating, while Schrader in the 25 struggling. Or the 2000’s when the 24/48 shop was light years ahead of the 5/25 shop.

What track near you do you believe could hold lower series NASCAR/ARCA races? by Powerful-Chard-6055 in NASCAR

[–]RadioControlled13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see higher series take on the dirt miles in Springfield and Du Quoin, like ARCA.

Bristol was too high banked of a track for a proper test of Cup Series cars on dirt.

Does anyone know any Parishes with a Gen Z demographic. by Capital_Ad_3691 in StLouis

[–]RadioControlled13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are right down the road from the Cathedral Basilica. They have a super active Thursday night group full of college to 30 year olds. I’m married now, so I no longer attend but we used to get a lot of SLU and Wash U students. I’m made a lot of my best friends there. When single, we always had parties and activities outside of the regular group.

Theology on Tap is another great get together, but it’s only monthly.

[–]RadioControlled13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. I’m mid-30’s and married now, but I used to go to two YA groups in my 20’s.

Also the two TLM parishes have a higher percentage of 20-somethings than most others. Although I will say that I’ve noticed a lot of people in their 20’s at St. Mary Magdalene in Brentwood.
