A DRAG RACER

Hello All :wave:

Just a little food for thought
Why do we race?
Well lets see, its what we do!
We were born into it.
Its what our friends do.
Its an American thing to do.
Its the time we spend in the garage working on our best friend, with our friends.
Its the ride to the track, unloading the car.
Its driving 1000 HP threw the Pits.
The looks, the stars.
Its the rumble the motor makes.
It is the greeting in the staging lanes.
Its the feel of the burn out.
The chirp when the tires hook.
Slowly staging.
Going on the two step (or convertor) releasing the button at the flash, (or flooring the gas pedal)
Thrown back in the seat, Feeling the car accelerate, the shift, the speed, lifting, and slowing down.
Thinking about what you have just done.
Getting the ET slip
with the .00X smile emoticon know I nailed it
or .10X :eyes: on it, I didn't feel that late.
Sharing it with your friends or not :Rolling: .
The nerves before 1st rd. Heart BEATING Out of your Chest :help:
Deciding the dial in, to hold or be honest :Hum:
O No not again the track Champion 1st round :eyes:
Trust you car or change your mind :Praying:
Lift or stay on the floor :Hum:
Take the stripe or give it up :boring:
The thrill of winning :laugh:
The agony of defeat. :crying:
Buying back for one more shot :banging head:
The food we share, the offer of BEER. :Party time:
The conversation that goes deep into the night :Party time:
Then we get up and do it all over. :bowing:

Why Because I Love It :hug:

I'm sure I forgot something because I'm old and suffer from CRS disease. :car:
(can't remember ****)

So what's on your mind, why do you race? For the money of course :Rolling:
