Racing quotes, track quotes etc
Some of my favorites are:
"Racing makes a heroin addiction seem like a vague craving for something salty." -Peter Egan "WOT until you see GOD, then brake." - not sure "Racing is the finest mechanism for the disposal of money." -RR98ITR "Racing is the act of turning money into noise." "I like to start with toe-in in the rear then dial it out until I see GOD." -rice_classic "Well my first 2 wives weren't into racing..." -Overheard at the track now you go.

Any car that finishes the race, with all of its parts still attached, is entirely too heavy.
Pretty sure that's Colin Chapman

Senna - Describes "the zone" before it was "the zone"
-And suddenly I realized that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension. Chip Foose - On his dad -My dad used to design cars, boats and vans, ... I would sit next to him from the time I was 3 and copy what he was doing. I continued doing that until eventually it was easier for him to tell me to draw it than have him draw it. Chip Foose - On designing cars -I like cars. I couldn't tell you why. It's an extension of one's personality. It's personal freedom. Emerson Fittipaldi - On safety -When I began to drive Formula I in the 1970's, the odds of surviving was 7 to 1. Incredible high risks. The odds of surviving now are like 800 to 1. Emerson Fittipaldi - On Colin Chapman -He was the computer. I would have a dinner with him, if the car wasn't handling well on the Friday, and would explain to him what it was doing at different parts of the track. He would go back to the garage, and call the mechanics. And by Saturday morning the car would be fantastic. Only Colin Chapman could do that. Of all the engineers I worked with, all the team managers, Colin was a genius who had the intuition to do it. Colin Chapman - On everything else -Simplicate, then add lightness. -To add speed, add lightness. -You won't catch me driving a race car that I have built.. -Make the suspension adjustable and they will adjust it wrong -- look what they can do to a Weber carburetor in just a few moments of stupidity with a screwdriver. -Any car which holds together for more than a race is too heavy. -Accountants are the scorers of industry; they have nothing to do with playing the game. -Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere. Last edited by DAEMANO; 07-24-2015 at 02:17 AM. |

All my fall backs have already been posted, but this always makes me chuckle:
He didn't slam into you, he rubbed you... and rubbing's racing
