The Military Bowl Foundation and DC Touchdown Club are partnering with WTOP during the 2020-2021 high school football season to honor a Player of the Week. Read about this week’s Player of the Week below.
The Stone Bridge High School football team has a rich history. Since the Ashburn school opened at the turn of the century, the Bulldogs have played in nine previous state championship games. Five alumni have gone on to play in the NFL.
And while the standards are high for one of the most consistent teams in the D.C. area, Coach Mikey Thompson said that Jacob Thomas is one of the best ever to put on a Stone Bridge uniform.
A Fond Look Back At The 428 Engine And the 1969 Mustang Mach 1
Introducing the 428 performance-oriented engine helped cement the Mustang’s legend. You could argue that the 428 Cobra Jet engine and the 1969 Mustang Mach 1 helped Ford stay ahead of the competition. Ford now turns to 2021 Mach 1, to continue the legacy.

Here on April 28 (4-28) there’s no better time to reminisce fondly over one of the best engines and best cars in the 57-year history of the Ford Mustang. Of course I’m talking about the 1969 Mustang Mach 1 and its performance-oriented 428 Cobra Jet engine.
The name alone sounds incredible – Cobra-Jet. Adding the bigger engine to the late 60s-era Mustangs required some redesign work. But, these classic and highly-collectible muscle cars did not get a complete overhaul, but merely worked over by designers to account for the bigger engine.

Few things in one’s automotive life are more common than seeing a big-window C10 short-bed truck feature a raft of customizations making it prim and proper for the 21st century. Arguably, you don’t even need a bucketload of cash to enjoy hooning around a ‘67 Chevy at the strip or on the street. Granted, you’d also have to shrink the body along with the pricing expectations. 12 photos
That’s because we’re again dealing with one of the mesmerizing R/C creations from Traxxas, the radio control model manufacturer based in McKinney, Texas, which recently outed a scale model C8 Chevrolet Corvette that looked so good one might easily mistake it for the real deal.

Quite a few of us have experienced such a feeling, but not too many enthusiasts could say they ve done something about it. Well, digital artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel is definitely one of the exceptions, with the Buick GSX shown in this rendering being part of such a story. 9 photos
The 1970 Buick GSX parked on our screens right now makes for a memorable digital build, but, before we zoom in on its custom bits and pieces, we need to discuss its genesis.

The Tesla Model S is like that very athletic kid you never wanted to be paired with during a gym class competition because you knew exactly how it was going to end, and it wasn t good. Just look at the reaction of the Corvette C8 driver: what can you do, it s a Tesla . 7 photos
There are cars out there, either stock or built, that can beat a Model S Performance consistently over the quarter mile, but there aren t that many. To do it, they would need to have either tremendous amount of power, or excellent all-wheel-drive and traction control systems. Or both, preferably.
