After the lights release the cars from the starting line, they hurtle down the track, leaving shimmering waves of fumes. As they cross the finish line, twin giant billboards flash their time and speed and each racer gets a printed receipt with his (or, pretty rarely, her) time. Bob's personal record for his 1978 Cougar (" a little old-fashioned," he admits) is 12.5 seconds...

The banks and brokerages that have loaned them money could be carrying big and undisclosed potential liabilities. If those lenders get caught in a cash squeeze, they could respond by cutting back on lending, even to low-risk borrowers...
