The only guages that work in your car are the Tach. , Oil and Water Temp. 3. When you pass a car on the Highway you think your winning. 4. When you get passed by a car on the Highway you think your losing. 5. You wake up to a voice that says 'Gentleman Start Your Engines' 6. You hate making Right turns. 7. When you drive in a construction area you drive as close to the walls as possible. 8. U think every sticker U put on your car adds 5 more HP. Ok lets keep this going....

Josh42 Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 1. If you make racecar noises while driving. 2. If you act like you have a spotter telling you clear high, clear low when passing people on the highway. 3. Know everyrace date but don't know your own anniversary.

Pacecar Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 if your wife (my wife) looks at that stack of old race tires behind the house and calculates how big of a swimming pool we could have had in our back yard...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 if you weave back and forth coasting up to red lights trying to get your tires clean for the "restart"... if you try to gas up in under 14 seconds at the gas station... if you refer to tailgating as "catching the draft"... if you call the service manager at your repair shop your "crew chief"... if you think you're "on the pole" if you're first in line at a stop light... if you believe that duct tape will fix anything... if you say, "Gentlemen. Start your engines!" after every playing of the National Anthem... Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtom Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 This is a little more in line with "You might be a racer if:" --Your family automatically moves family celebrations to different nights of the week according to the racing schedule. --You have had to use a red shop rag to diaper your kid in an emergency. (only one of mine!) --You have swiped a fan belt off a spectator's car to put on your racecar, and then found them stranded in the parking lot and acted like the good samaritan taking it back off and fixing their car. ---You can remember your fast lap at Longhorn in April, 1975, but can't remember where you laid your wallet so you can go to work at 4:45 AM. (My wife does NOT like being woke up!) --You can somehow justify $1400 for scales, but a $100 to paint the house for the first time in 15 years is just not in the budget.

zoom Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 If your family vacations are to national shrines like Daytona, Richmond and Darlington. If your children are known as jackman, front tire changer, gasman, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSEPOWER Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 When you think you're a potential race car driver. 1. When you pull up to some one's rear bumper and make a quick move to the inside and pass them up. 2. When you drive it hard into a turn and get back hard on the gas as you exit the turn.(at 40mph) 3. When you exit the highway and think your pitting. 4. When your next to another car at a stop light and try to get a quicker reaction time when the light turns green.(the other type of racing) 5. When you weave in and out of traffic and do a few of those slide jobs. 6. When you exit I-10 E to IH 35 N and take the turn at 60mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTONLM04 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 1. When something falls off of your car, you wonder how much weight you just saved. 2. Your email address is a race car reference. 3. You've paid $4.00 a gallon for gas without complaining. 4. You sit in your race car at night in a dark garage and make car noises and shift. 5. You know people and they know you by class, car number and color. 6. You astound the clerk at Sears by bringing in a broken craftsman hand tool every other week or so. 7. You save broken car parts as "momentous". 8. You've ever run your lawnmower or weed eater on race gas 9. After you tell your wife where you'd like to go on vacation she answers: "What is racing there?" 10. You know at least three 1-800 numbers to aftermarket parts houses by heart. If one or more of these apply, you truly understand that racing is a way of life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtom Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I had previously posted these on another thread, but here they are again-- --Your family automatically moves family celebrations to different nights of the week according to the racing schedule. --You have had to use a red shop rag to diaper your kid in an emergency.

Josh42 Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 1. Change oil in your racecar every week but put off oil change in daily driver for months 2. Plan vacations by how close there is a racetrack to where your going that runs your class. 3. Put off paying certain bills so you can buy a motor or go racing 4. I know a bunch of people have done this before, File for a home improvement loan so you can buy a racecar and dont do any improving to the house.
