"Fear is exciting to me."

-Ayrton Senna

I think it was Senna who said something like this: I never TRY to go fast, but I DO try to take every corner perfectly.

Vettel on passing Mark Webber in the 2013 season, "I was faster. I passed him. I won."

This from friend who was in way too deep with his race car and his wife wanted to renovate their house

"Once a student, always my friend - but I may not remember your name" - Rick Betterley, after speaking with yet another former student who's face, car, and driving skills he remembered, but who's name escaped him.

I like this quote. Never have I polished any of my cars nor had anyone else polish them. Just drive and enjoy. Upgrade when I can.

i love this one, except that this is the one the long-suffering spouse uses as ammo:


"Which part of racing Porsches did you think would be affordable? The racing part or the Porsche part?"

Mark A. in World Challenge GT race - Laguna Seca 2004.

As was said by a competitor who thought Mark should pull over and let him pass during practice because, as he proclaimed, "Im so much faster than you".

Mark said, " If you are so much faster, then go around me"

A paddock clearing brawl ensued after the driver threw a cheap shot was thrown after obviously not getting the response he was looking for.
One of World Challenge GT's "NASCAR" moments.
(appropriate punishment was dished out in the aftermath)

My contribution to racing quotes (I'm sure already posted somewhere in the six pages between first page and here):

Racing quote:
"Wide open 'til you see god...then brake."

You might be a racer if:

• You refer to the turn into your driveway as 'Turn 1.'
• At the supermarket you apex turns with your shopping cart (and have even been known to late brake and stuff old ladies
  in the corners).
• Speaking of shopping carts, you know the ones where all four wheels can swivel, and drive most people nuts? You actually like them - they're easier to drift through turns.
• All household or other non-racing expenditures are instantly mathematically converted in your mind into sets of tires.
• You don't think twice about using a jack in your garage to put your expensive sports car up on jackstands, and take all the wheels off. (Matter of fact, you kinda look forward to doing it).
• You have used racecraft against young children in order to win Razor Scooter races. (OK, mea culpa on this one: http://tshort128.blogspot.com/2006/1...-stay-in.html)

Oh, and one more, delivered by our DE Day leader at the driver's meeting for the novice run group:

"Nothing you're going to do here today is going to increase the value of your car."
