OK, true confessions time:

- You save broken car parts as " mementos".
>> Yep. They are in the garage.

-You've tried synthetic oil and racing gas in your lawn mower.
>> All my two-cycle yard tools and my track scooter run Catrol R Race Oil in the fuel mix. Nothing smells better than Castrol R.

-When you hear 'overcooked it,' instead of food you think 'off the track.'
>> One of my favorites

-You thoroughly enjoy showing the tailgater behind how to drive around a highway off-ramp.
>> Guilty, your honor.

-You've paid $4.00 a gallon for gas without complaining.
>> Better, I'll drive further to get to the cheapest pump gas but thik nothing about paying $5 + for 93 at the track.

-You and your wife go house hunting and you never actually get inside the house because you're checking out the garage for 220v.
>> Janet wants me to build a new garage so we can [finally] get the street cars under cover. Track car has garage precedence, always!

-Your wife doesn't understand why you need three sets of tires for your car.
>> And no amount of explaining seems to help.

-You hate long distance driving vacations, but you will gladly drive 800 miles to the race track.
>> SOmebody has been reading my mail again....

-You think that traction control and ABS are for those who can't drive.
>> ABS is OK for a wet track, but TC is equivalent to trainer wheels.

-You have racing shops programmed on your speed dialer.
>> Yep.

-After you tell your wife where you'd like to go on your vacation she answers: "Why, is there a race there?"
>> Every time!

Its a fine madness!
