Default The most important sentence you need to know on race day

Please do not tell me what happened as the race is on the during and I have not watched it yet.

The guy at the table next to me was a rabid F1 fan. I wore my Haas F1 polo which he noticed. We both said the "don't tell me....". Great brunch. The chicken and waffles are best I ever had.

And a pic of the shirt.

I bought the polo and sweatshirt - both really nicely constructed.

My uncle-in-law and I have a F1 competition on the Grand Prix Predictor website - I'm up two cases of wine to the one I had to give him last year. Whenever we see each other on the weekends we invariably wait to see if the other person says "don't tell me what happened."

The only thing is the shipper for HAAS required me to be home to accept them. I can order a computer from Microsoft, which they will dump at my front door, but a polo and sweatshirt need a signature.

So, last summer, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I was buying T shirts for da fam. I decided to purchase one for my mentor and his wife (circa 70 yo)....

For HER I decided to add a little sizzle! I bought her a BRIGHT RED tshirt online (the only sizes in the shop were xlarge and she is tiny) as a pajama top that said....

"Gentlemen, start your engines!"




Edit: would never have done this if I were a dude.
