...fans walk into the stadium wearing roughly half a million racing-related logos. The Winston people are giving away cigarettes. The cars are burning fossil fuel. The noise is obscene. There's a Remington firearms car, a Winston No Bull car, a Skoal car. The smells of raw horsepower, burned rubber and expectorated snuff are cooked by a wicked...
...I.O.A.'s promotion, calls them "theme rides without the theme." True enough for some rides. The Incredible Hulk Coaster is similar to slinky steel screamers in nearby Busch Gardens, though it has some jet-propulsive refinements. Another thrill ride, Dr. Doom's Fear Fall, is supposed to extract "raw human fear" from the brains of its strapped-in victims, but it's just a fresh version of the Big Shot, a four-G slingshot perched 1,000 ft. above Las Vegas, atop the Stratosphere Hotel.

All that, and a lot of talk...

That promises to increase demand for manufactured goods, the equipment needed to make them and the raw materials that go into them. Indeed, commodities prices have been edging higher for a month. Cyclical companies can raise prices in that kind of environment, which makes them far less vulnerable to the dark side of economic growth--inflation and higher interest rates. If rates, which have also been going...
