The Brumos Porsche 250, also known as the Paul Revere 250, was a 250-mile sports car support race held on the road course at Daytona International Speedway on or around Independence Day, the same weekend of the NASCARSprint Cup Series' Coke Zero 400. It has been held off-and-on over the history of that event, either the same night, or a couple days before. The traditional date meant the race was usually held late at night, and finishes in the early morning hours of the next day. The theme of the race is based on the famous "Midnight Ride" of Revolutionary War patriotPaul Revere.
From 1967-1968, the race was sanctioned by the SCCA. From 1969-1972, it was held as part of the NASCARGrand American tour. Starting in 1973, it became part of the IMSA circuit, and continued through 1983. In 1984, it switched to an SCCA Trans-Am event for one season. For 1985-1986, it was a motorcycle race, then it was discontinued.
In 2000, the event was revived by the Grand Am series. The tradition of starting late at night, however, was muted somewhat. The event was scheduled as a Thursday or Friday night event, held immediately following NASCAR pole qualifying and/or final practice. The start time would be roughly 10 p.m. eastern. Attendance for the weeknight races was very sparse. NASCAR's typical weeknight qualifying crowd is normally small, and most of those that were in attendance left as soon as qualifying was over. In 2009, the race was moved to Saturday afternoon as part of a Grand Am/Sprint Cup day-night doubleheader.
Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as a Massachusetts militia officer, though his service culminated after the Penobscot Expedition, one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, for which he was absolved of blame. Following the war, Revere returned to his silversmith trade and used the profits from his expanding business to finance his work in iron casting, bronze bell and cannon casting, and the forging of copper bolts and spikes. Finally in 1800 he became the first American to successfully roll copper into sheets for use as sheathing on naval vessels.
Lady Rose is a popular song and hit single by British group Mungo Jerry.
Written by the group's lead vocalist Ray Dorset and produced by Barry Murray, it was the band's third single. The song entered the UK charts at #30 in May 1971 and reached #5 in June finally leaving the chart in August 1971.
The Fender Stratocaster was the first guitar to feature three pickups and a spring tension tremolo system, as well as being the first Fender with a contoured body. The Stratocaster's sleek, contoured body shape (officially referred to by Fender as the "Comfort Contour Body") differed from the flat, slab-like design of the Telecaster. The Stratocaster's double cutaways allowed players easier access to higher positions on the neck.

The song tells a fictional story of how Adrock, Mike D, and MCA first met. Adrock describes riding through the desert on a horse named Paul Revere (hence, the title of the song) with a quart of beer, on the run from the police. He runs into MCA, who asks him for a drink. When Adrock refuses, MCA pulls a gun on him and says, "You got two choices of what you can do...I can blow you away or you can ride with me." Adrock agrees, saying that he'll go if they can get to the border because "The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter".
Now here's a little story I got to tell About three bad brothers you know so well It started way back in history With Ad Rock, MCA, and me, Mike D Been had a little horsey named Paul Revere Just me and my horsey and a quart of beer Riding across the land, kicking up sand Sheriff's posse's on my tail 'cause I'm in demand One lonely Beastie I be All by myself, without nobody The sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat The air is gettin' hot, the beer is gettin' flat Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy His name is MCA, I said, "Howdy," he said, "Hi" He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst The brew was in my hand and he was on my tip His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he asked me for a sip He said, "Can I get some?" I said, "You can't get none" And I had a chance to run, he pulled out his shotgun Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead He put the gun to my head and this is what he said "Now my name is MCA, I got a license to kill I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill Now what do we have here? An outlaw and his beer? I run this land, you understand? I made myself clear" We stepped into the wind, he had a gun, I had a grin You think this story's over but it's ready to begin Now I got the gun and you got the brew You got two choices of what you can do It's not a tough decision as you can see I can blow you away or you can ride with me I said, "I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border" The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter I did it like this, I did it like that I did it with a whiffle ball bat So I'm on the run, the cop got my gun And right about now, it's time to have some fun The King Ad Rock, that is my name And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne We rode for six hours then we hit the spot The beat was a-bumpin' and the girlies was hot This dude was starin' like he knows who we are We took the empty spot next to him at the bar MCA said, "Yippee yo, you know this kid?" I said, "I didn't but I know he did" The kid said, "Get ready 'cause this ain't funny My name's Mike D and I'm about to get money" Pulled out the jammy, aimed it at the sky He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" and let two fly Hands went up and people hit the floor He wasted two kids then ran for the door I'm Mike D and I get respect Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect MCA was with it and he's my ace So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face The piano player's out, the music stopped His boy had beef and he got dropped Mike D grabbed the money, MCA snatched the gold
