Classic Car Watches

NHRA stands for National Hot Rod Association.  Founded in 1951 in California, NHRA has 80,000 members and more than 35,000 licensed competitors.  It is the largest promoter of professional drag racing in the world today and offers opportunities to participate in the sport for kids from age 8 up to the professional adult drag racers.  NHRA has many well-known business partners and sponsors that include Coca-Cola, Budweiser, Pontiac, and GMC.  Second only to NASCAR in popularity, NHRA is moving rapidly into mainstream American culture.

There are more than 20 categories of competition in the NHRA, including Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Funny Car, and Top Fuel.  NHRA prides itself on its diversity and down-to-earth accessibility to fans and participants alike.  If you enjoy NHRA racing, consider showing your support with a NHRA watch or clock.

U.S. Route 66 was a highway in the U.S. Highway system. One of the original federal routes, US 66 was established on November 11, 1926, though signs did not go up until the following year. It originally ran from Chicago, IL, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles for a total of 2,448 miles.

US 66 was officially decommissioned on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California are starting to include State Route 66, and others bear “Historic Route 66″ signs, and several stores carry products such as a Route 66 watch.

The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units, the day, the lunar month, and the year. Such measurement requires devices. Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.

The sundial, which measures the time of day by the direction of shadows cast by the sun, was widely used in ancient times. A well-designed sundial can measure local solar time with reasonable accuracy, and sundials continued to be used to monitor the performance of clocks until the modern era. However, its practical limitations - it requires the sun to shine and does not work at all during the night - encouraged the use of other techniques for measuring time.

Today, clocks come in the variant forms, such as digital watches or novelty wall clocks that can fit an individual’s personality.

Giving a gift can be hard to do.  I always search high and low for the best gift for my friends and family.  I was so happy when I found a novelty watch website on the internet.

I found other watches for the man and woman in my life that likes different novelty watches like car embles.  They have some neat watches like Fords, Mustang, Chervolette and many others.
