want to replace my gas fired tank water heater with a Tankless Water Heater?

I have a 60 gallon natural gas water heater here in houston, TX. It is coming to the end of its natural life- apprx 10 years. The house has 3 showers, 5 sinks (including kitchen), washer and dishwasher. 2 adults live here. I want to know
1- when it comes time to replace should I use a tankless water heater?
2- what capacity tankless heater do I need?
3- when some turns on the hot water faucet and quickly switches it of, does the unit turn on? or is it smart?

What's new for General Motor's? Well aside from unveiling new vehicles in recent domestic and international auto shows and manufacturing quality GM parts like GM running board, GM's Cadillac NASCAR team also got something new for racing fans.

GM's Team Cadillac has recently signed Jimmie Johnson, the current NASCAR Nextel Cup series champion to drive the No. 16 Cadillac CTS-V in the forthcoming SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT that will take place at Lowe's Motor Speedway (formerly Charlotte Motor Speedway) later in May 2007.

Here is what Jimmie Johnson said in a GM official press release:

"I've driven thousands of laps at Lowe's Motor Speedway and enjoyed success there, but it's going to be a new experience for me to turn right as well as left when I race in the SPEED GT event in Charlotte. I've always enjoyed driving different kinds of vehicles, so I'm looking forward to racing against sports cars with the Cadillac CTS-V sedan."

"When I tested with Team Cadillac on the Sebring road course in February, I discovered that the Cadillac CTS-V race car's handling and braking are similar to the setups we use in NASCAR Nextel Cup road races. I'm hoping that my experience at Lowe's Motor Speedway will benefit the team because we only have one day to practice, qualify and race," he continued. "I really enjoyed working with the Team Cadillac crew and my teammates Andy Pilgrim and Lawson Aschenbach during the test, and I think we'll be able to get our CTS-V race cars up to speed quickly on both the oval and the road course sections at Lowe's Motor Speedway."

Johnson began his career as a race driver in NEXTEL Cup series in 2002 when he entered the 2002 Daytona 500 and ended up in the 15th place. He was also the runner-up for the 2002 NASCAR Rookie of the Year. Johnson currently pilots the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for Hendrick Motorsports.

"We're proud to have Jimmie as a member of the GM family, and we appreciate the cooperation between Chevrolet, Cadillac, GM Racing and Hendrick Motorsports that made this program possible." said Steve Wesoloski, Manager of GM Road Racing Group. "This is a great opportunity to have the defending NASCAR Nextel Cup champion compete in one of our GM road racing programs, and it will certainly put the SPEED World Challenge Series in the spotlight."

Moreover, Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor commented:

"As we've been reinventing and rebuilding the Cadillac brand over the past several years, we've made the conscious strategic decision to align Cadillac with the best of the best in everything we do. We'll have the past two SPEED GT champions, Andy and Lawson, for the full 2007 season, and we're absolutely thrilled to have 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Jimmie Johnson drive our third CTS-V in the upcoming Charlotte race."

Jimmie Johnson will go aboard the Cadillac CTS-V and experience the race car's high performance and dynamic handling coming from the monstrous 6.0-liter V8 engine pumping out 500 horses under its hood.

National Hot Rod Association Carolina Nationals at Lowes Motor Speedway
located off US Highway 29 in Concord,NC

The NHRA Carolina Nationals at Lowes Motor Speedway have become a very popular event in Concord, North Carolina. The Month of September 2009 looks to be a great month for the National Hot Rod Association at Lowes Motor Speedway, with four race dates being held there.

The 2009 NHRA racing schedule for September in Concord, NC at Lowes Motor Speedway is as follows:

• Thursday, September 17
• Friday,  September 18
• Saturday, September 19
• Sunday, September 20.
• Races start at 7:30 am each day except Sunday.
  On Sunday the races start at 9:30 am.

Purchasing tickets for the NHRA  Concord, NC races is not easy,  they sell out pretty fast. You would more likely have to go through a local broker from Raleigh, NC to get tickets. The top online ticket broker for the NHRA in North Carolina is RaleighTicketWizard.com. If they don't have tickets then I can pretty much say your out of luck.  The best thing about buying from RalieghTicketWizard.com is that they have all the best seats. They always have "Starting Line" seats on sale. They must have a good source over at the speedway or something.

After the NHRA races finish up in Concord, NC,  they move on to the Texas Motorplex in Ennix, TX. The races are being held there from Wednesday, September 2nd to Sunday, September 29th. The races move to Las Vegas Motor Speedway from 10/29 to 11/1.

If you are interested in tickets to any of these race locations you should buy them as early as possible.

I will see ya at the races!
