Kyle May Racing - Doing Work Against the Odds
Today's feature is on a driver that's seen more than his fair share of challenges and keeps at it. Kyle May is 19 years old and currently competes in the full midget class after climbing from karts to three quarter midgets and then finally to his current class.

What the FLOCK is going on here??
Sorry for the kitschy title... Well, no I'm not sorry.. To the point. There's a trend of a really cool finish going on throughout YouTube land. It's "Flocking". For those of you who may not be familiar with it, allow me a moment to explain. Flocking is the process of applying dyed adhesive to a surface, then coating it in "suede like" fibers.
