County Line Dragway's track squeals in delight beneath all types of tires, inviting amateur and professional horsepower buffs to test the limits of their vehicles on a 1/8-mile stretch of pavement certified by the International Hot Rod Association. Engines and crowds roar in the schedule's myriad events as steely chariots strive to capture a record track time, one-up nemeses in grudge matches, or test performance in timed laps and odes to speed in iambic pentameter. Cheering groups bond over impressive shows of velocity, and the track’s open-minded atmosphere allows anyone to hit the ovular street with a minivan or amateur garage project and safely race against each other away from the obstacles and chatty stop signs of the open road. Tire type determines eligibility for each event, making for varied and colorful fields. Pros unleash speed demons upon unsuspecting cement during Big Dog Saturdays, in which finely engineered speedsters compete for track titles.

The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
