Re: What The Other Half Says About Us
Being a female racer. My story goes as such. My girlfriend told me she spent $150 on a pair of jeans. I thought she was out of her mind. So with the new requirement of SFI pants in stock I had to tell her that I spent $150 on a pair of pants and "they won't catch on fire". She told me I guess you can't call them your hot pants. LOL No complaints from me.

I agree with you on this one, because I (too) have no other half (unfortunately/fortunately). Thus Jim, I'm still doing that (the ol'e sole-o-mi-ohh scene), lol.

Re: What The Other Half Says About Us
Sad thing is Gary, those are her exact words. You should have heard the things she said when we were starting to build a stocker back in Louisiana. With this new super gas car she is just as bad though. She seen the fuel bill for the two drums of fuel I bought Thursday and about passed out.

Re: What The Other Half Says About Us
I got some relationship advice from Judy Lilly about 25 years ago, she told me- "Bill, a smart Girl will drop a Drag Racer in a minute".
I'm still single so it looks like she was right. Bill Ringer |

That was brutal man...but I'm in the same boat so....The thing I don't get is there's plenty of worse things us guys can be doing with our racing time, and at least this is something that's good & somewhat healthy.....heck, the way some women spend money on shopping at stores, I think a guys racing expenses should equal the money they spend on clothes/shoes/perfume, et al (if not less???)! Not my concern (for now)....no lady = no reason to spend my money on anything but the Cavalier & the strip....

Re: What The Other Half Says About Us
While sitting at breakfast on a Sunday during a National event I asked my girlfriend if she thought I was going to win. She said...."not if you're dead late again".
Mind you, she knows zero about racing. She's also said...."Where in the world is Medford??" Oh ya one more....."Dan Fletcher beat you again??" Doug Lambeck |
