What The Other Half Says About Us

Larry Hill · 05-10-2009, 11:21 AM

After reading Chad Loge's post about what his wife said "Why do you spend so much time and money on your car, someone is always going to be faster?", I started to wonder what other spouses' and friends say about what we do for fun.

A friend of Art Wilkinson's asked the question " If you guys are so good at making these cars go fast, how come there is always something wrong with them?"

Patsy's question is " Are we ready to load up yet?" and then "We'll get em next race!"

What do ya'll hear?

" I cant believe you continue to want to do this with the way you are treated by NHRA",
"------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the rules are."
" I ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- they get you so upset with the lack of rules enforcement" and poor rule making"

It is always great to see our friends". This is Number 1 comment.

I am the other half and my most frequent line is "Quit your b*tching and fix the car/get your head out of your arse/etc" - fill in the blank with whatever is appropriate for the current problem

And if you weren't doing this you'ld just be lying around dying. Shut up and go racing.

That sure is a fast car for $2,500.00 investment....
