| Phoenix track running strong, despite struggling economy - ABC 15 News Posted: 12 Dec 2009 04:34 PM PST
AVONDALE, AZ -- Dollars might have been tight at Phoenix International Raceway, but you wouldn't know it looking at all the RV's and Campers. PIR spokesperson Paul Corliss says they're expected to see close to 250,000 fans at this weekend's Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 series. The race will bring hundreds of millions of dollars into the Valley. Some fans say they are cutting back on some purchases. "We're spending less on t-shirts and souvenirs than we did in the past," said John Maxwell, a Valley resident who makes NASCAR a tradition. Pedal cab driver Howard Gossack says this is the place to be. "It is nonstop rides all morning and all afternoon," said Gossack. "You just ride until your legs can't go anymore." Gossack says he'll ride up to 70 miles a day. He says people are tipping a little less but businesses is still going strong. "People pay what they want to pay," said Gossack. "It is a rare opportunity for people to get great service for a great product but they get to determine what they pay." The R.V. lots filled up early in the week with many people camping out for several days. Many fans say they made sacrifices before getting to the track. "All we wanted to do was come up here and fun," said Orville Hohenstein, of Benson, Arizona. His wife, who lost her job earlier, agrees. "You just get excited about racing," said Windee Hohenstein. "It gets into your blood and you don't want to stop." The couple drove up from the southern Arizona town yesterday and quickly set up their campsite and RV. With times being tight the couple admits their trip is not as extravagent as before. "We made up our mind that this was going to be our vacation time," Orville said. Windee said she also cut back on her grocery store shopping prior to the race. To help with the squeeze, PIR officals say they reduced ticket prices. Fans could get in for as cheap as $15 per tickt. They also added free events like hopping inside a replica of the pace car. Organizers say people could get on a test track to try one out. Organizers also showed off Glendale native -- number 36 -- Mike McDowell. There was no price to see him fullfill his dream of racing at PIR. "I always wanted to be a professional race car driver," Mcdowell said. "So to be able to come out here in front of the hometown crowd with friends and family, it's a lot of fun." fivefilters.org featured article: Normalising the crime of the century by John Pilger |

| Lean versatility - Bangkok Post Posted: 12 Dec 2009 01:18 AM PST MITSUBISHI Mitsubishi has announced the first details of its all-new compact crossover called RVR, which was first previewed in the cX concept car. The 4.3m-long RVR mixes the virtues of hatchback practicality and SUV's commanding driving position. - Details are limited, but Mitsubishi says the RVR will come with a 1.8-litre petrol engine when it goes on sale in Japan next February before reaching all corners of the globe within 2010. - The cX concept had a 136hp 1.8-litre turbo-diesel and dual-clutch automatic (Evo X's SST gearbox) to meet the demands of Europeans. Since the Lancer - the car which lends the platform - has a CVT auto, the RVR's transmission platter is widened. - The five-seat RVR will be positioned below the seven-seat Outlander and would be pitched against the Peugeot 3008 and Nissan Qashqai (aka Dualis in Japan and Rogue in the US) to chase buyers finding compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V a little too big on metal. RVR is based on Lancer mechanicals. - Even though Mitsubishi has 4WD technology, the RVR is most likely to come with FWD for better fuel economy. Peugeot, for one, has already devised a selectable electronic traction control for its FWD 3008. - The RVR becomes the third member in Mitsubishi's C-segment lineup, the others being Lancer saloon and Sportback hatchback. The brand's last compact RV (standing for recreational vehicle) that came to Thailand was the Space Runner in the '90s. - In order to sell in Thailand, Mitsubishi has to build the RVR alongside the Lancer to ensure prices won't exceed B1m. Sources at Peugeot once told Motoring that the 3008 could be made in Malaysia and come to Thailand via the Afta free-trade scheme. KEY QUESTION: Now that the Sportback has been reportedly shunned by Thais in a recent survey by Mitsubishi, the RVR could be more appealing instead. Who will be first to crack this new segment in Thailand?
