WCW....get outta here NO WAY you did that too? That's just freaky! Did that (hear will show my age truly) also when we went to Drive In Theaters.
"What stops you from heading out to a track again?"
Once you have been on the other side of the fence, down in the trenches working on the cars that put on the show, it's just abit tough to just go and sit in the stands and not be a part of the action. Have been a few times since we got out of racin just not the same. Listening to the drunk's that think they can drive them better just PO's me.
I remember one night imparticular, when the races were done and people were comin into the pits, this guy comes up to our Sprint car all drunk and says well I can DRIVE that thing better than your driver. Well unless you have driven a Sprint car they drive totally different than anything else. You got a 2000 lb vehicle with driver that produces over 700 hp as I am sure you know. Well I after years of hearing these "i can do better guys" I grabbed the 4 wheeler and started pushing the car backwards... my BF who owned it said wht the H*LL ya doing, I said I have had it I looked at this guy threw him one of our helmets and said okay tough guy get in, thats see what you got I will belt you in and push you off, well I think he made a big wet spot somewhere and my BF was just rolling cause he got tired of hearing it also. This guy just looked at me and said um um no that's okay maybe I better just skip it, I said yeah that's what I thought...boy that felt good.
So after a long story that's why I don't go just got tired of the "i can do it better guys"
