I've got some winter projects on the racecar, like front suspension work (spring rates, bump-steer adjustment, etc..) but just don't want to start on them yet. I'm afraid if I finish early, by February I'll be stir crazy!

Someone asked me a question recently about my "go fast technique". First and formost everyone will tell you that the best method is "Seat time". Get as much practice and time in the car as you possibly can. But that's a given, and the question was, other than seat time, what can I do?

Here were a few things that work for me:

(more...)

"Driver has no cash"

"We interrupt this marriage to bring you the racing season."

"You must be fast, cause you were haulin' ass when I passed you!"

" Driving a race car is like making love to a gorilla - you don't get to stop when you get tired"

"Because golf, football, and baseball only require ONE ball."

"My drinking team has a racing problem" or, seen by the gas cap "Insert cash here"

"No such thing as bad weather, just bad tire choice"

"No Fear? Then you're not going fast enough"

"You can sleep in your race car, but you can't race in your house."

Printed upside down on a Formula Vee: "If you can read this, roll me over!"

On a Pinto: "Hit me and you go too.."

"Don't follow me, I'm just making this s**t up!"

"I may be slow, but I'm in front of you"

Seen on the inside: "First pedal on the right"

The Fine Art of Braking
By survey 100% of over 10,000 riders agree on this point: they know that if they possessed the ability and skill to get their turn entry speeds consistently right, their confidence would soar; they would feel more in control; they would be faster and they would be smoother. Here is more on why you might want to master that ability.

I just found this in some old favorites. If you're not the overly serious type, this is pretty darn funny.

AN OPEN LETTER:

"Listen here cone-dodger, why don't you save it and post your racing resume on Hot-Jobs.com? Maybe there's a Wal-Mart manager somewhere who'll need you to drive the golf-kart for parking lot security. They can use a guy like you to dodge the cones and shopping carts. In the mean time, I suggest you and Sofranas bring some cones and throw them on the track the night before to confuse the real drivers out there."

Watch and learn...

You think the primary purpose of wings is to PREVENT flight.

-You take your helmet along when you go to buy new eyeglasses or check out cars (seats). -You feel compelled on a road trip to beat your previous best time.

-You are happiest when your street car's tires are worn to "racing depth".
