You Might Be A Racer If...

Your doctor checks your reflexes by hitting your knee and your foot goes
to the floor.

You find that you need a new house because you've outgrown your garage
and the neighbors are threatening violence if you park one more vehicle on
the street or in the front yard.

Your first date involves asking her to crew for you.

You plan your wedding around the race schedule.

Your family brings the couch into the garage so they can spend some time
with you.

You can't remember when you last worked on weekdays and rested on
weekends.

People know you by your class letter, car number, and car color.

You're registered for wedding gifts at Jegs and Summit.

After your answer to "How was your weekend?", the next question is
always:
"And you do this for fun? Right?"

A new racing catalog arrives in the mail and you disappear to the
bathroom for hours.

You know that Orthodontic work is the equivalent of three sets of
tires.

You hear "overcooked it" and think "off the track" instead of "Burger
King".

You wonder why everyone doesn't drive a Suburban.

Your garage holds more cars than your house has bedrooms.

Your daughter was an NHRA member when she was 1 day old.

You always do a powershift while whoever might be your
passenger gives you a real funny look.

You always want to change something in your street car to make it
go better.

You will gladly pay up to $6 for a bottle of engine oil.

You hate long distance driving, but you will gladly drive 800 miles to
the race track.

You think that traction control and ABS are for those who can't drive.

You complain the seatbelts in the family car aren't tight enough.

You complain when cars in front of you on highway off-ramps don't stay
on the line, causing your exit speed to drop.

You don't see anything unusual in cording a set of tires in just a few
hours' driving.

You have a "home" toolbox and an "away" toolbox.

All the socks in your drawer are nomex.

You sometimes hear little noises from your passengers when you get on
the throttle right after you leave the traffic lights.

You feel naked in your street car without a roll bar and a five point
harness.

You can look the hotel clerk straight in the eye and say "One Adult,
and could I have some extra towels?".

You consider a test drive successful when you get the salesman to
whimper.

You take your helmet along when you buy new eyeglasses.

You fix things around the house (kid's bikes, etc.) with grade 8 bolts
and nylock nuts from your parts bins.

You created a huge fire in your back yard when you used left over Sunoco
racing gasoline to light your charcoal grill.

Your junk bolts drawer is divided into 3 quality grades.

All your street car's tires are uni-directional and Z rated.

You will spend months evaluating replacement tire performance, but not
once think of tire wear as a factor.

The minivan was ordered with a rear sway bar, heavy duty shocks and
you are contemplating putting stickies on it.

You select pets based on their ability to survive a weekend alone.

You feel compelled, on a road trip, to beat your previous best time.

Your E-mail address refers to your race car rather than to you.

The UPS man can't believe that little box costs that much!

You have ever critiqued the driving skills of Daisy Duke.

You make staging noises while walking down the street.

When you brake your left leg, the first thing you ask EMT "will I be able to use a clutch?" (yes I did)

You modify the kids toys to go faster.

You don't know the name of the people you work with but you know what they drive.
