Do they offer a references, footnotes, and translations feature? You could also call it the" I went Klub Racing after the minimum requisite 8 DE events, and did the Porsche Crash at the Glen as my first race" lament.

Good point. I suppose only the truly addicted RL-ers will catch all the lingo on first viewing.
For normal people, here is a glossary:
HoHos = Hoosiers = racing slicks
Dunning-Kruger effect = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning...3Kruger_effect
Quixotic = Caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; idealistic without regard to practicality. As in Don Quixote.
Tantric/Tantra = A hindu/buddist path to enlightement involving (among other things) certain erotic rituals & rites.
Polymers = A key ingredient in tires, a class of large complex molecular structures that tire manufacturers spend major $$ on.

Update..
If the Dunning-Kruger effect = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning...3Kruger_effect jostles your giblets, then check out Malcolm Gladwell's Book, Outliers, specifically the 10,000 hour rule.
Love the Dunning-Kruger concept...
