Re: Ya know.......
Another example why we need to reinstate the draft for this "wonderful" generation of jerk-offs.

My first thought was to move to my left towards the other lane, but they had lined me up with a motorcycle in the left lane who I was out in front of and couldn't see and didn't want to risk knocking the driver off the bike. |

Re: Ya know.......
For the past 40 some years now, everytime I go to a race and happen to see a young person ( male female,Black,white,brown,red,green) trying his hand at drag racing and I see him struggling or he doesn't know how to stage, leave on the light, I approach him slowly, complement his ride, I ask him if he or she minds me offering some help and if they can stand the help, I'll give it to them. 99.9% are so grateful that they come for some more.Nothing better than seeing them being happier after they've just deep stage their car and wholeshot their friends out of the hole.It's one of my nicest experience I've been lucky to share. Don't forget if you don't share it, it will be lost when you leave this earth.CR p.s. A small story, three years ago I was at my local track with my S/G S/St Vega and a man and two little boys approach me at the track, they were looking at the car, i asked the young man if he minded if I put his sons behind the wheel with the belts on. He said he was hoping that I would ... because I had done it for him, when he was 10 and also with his Dad. He said it was a great experience that he never forgot because I had started the engine. He wanted to say thanks.

Re: Ya know.......
I've done the same thing for a couple of youngsters on a test night. Now, they are both bracket racing, and one of them kicks my butt on many occasions.

Re: Ya know.......
So, what is the turn off rule for your track?
