...cool Nevada morning air was filled with the quaking rumble of the 1972 Dodge Charger in front of me. A three-week-old blue 2003 Subaru WRX edged up behind me. We'd all been waiting for this moment for days or, in my case, a lifetime, and the deliciously deserted road beckoned.

After driving his Dodge Charger the 800 miles back home to Seattle, Mike Nordin had exactly the same reaction. "It was thrilling, and though it was my first race, it won't be my last. I'm already thinking about the next one." Me too--and maybe without that self-imposed speed limit...

Flip a quarter in the Yuki, and get 10 minutes of charge time for Motorola, Nokia and other mobile-phone brands. Singapore-based InfiniTec has sold more than 3,000 units to supermarkets, hotels and universities throughout Chinese cities and a smaller number to venues in Hungary, India and Southeast Asia. NetBooth, a Las Vegas Internet-kiosk company, just purchased 100 Yukis at $500 a pop and will install...
