hmm...someone needs a bottle of washer fluid, with the nozzle pointing out from the front of the car....give that guy a quick shot!
--just make sure it aims off to the side so you don't drive over your soapy water!

I did the horn trick at a Mustang vs Grand National event back when I had a Mustang. I was 1/2 second slower than the Grand National I had to run and I had to do something as this was heads up and ford was way behind. We staged and I threw the old Stang on the rev limiter and layed into the horn and since both cars weren't all that loud it worked. I got a massive holeshot but he pulled my headlights out about the mph lights. My smile and wave back in the pits was met with a grumpy stare.....one point for buick.
I think part of the problem was when that run was made it was about 4am from what I understand.

What I dont get is all these people that need help getting in the lights. What the heck is up with that. Everyone seems to think they are racing a funny car these days with the starting line posse and getting lined up. I mean come on if you cant find the lights to stage your car maybe you need a new hobby

Well I thought it was kinda funny...Not very appropriate but funny none the less. Honestly I cannot see that bothering me at all. At that point I am pretty focused at the task at hand and am looking down track and at the tree.

100%.... like they are putting on a show...
get the hell out of the way so they can stage... the
tracks I race at dont allow all those people at the
line or even near the burnout box... 1 person ONLY

For sure, I never wanted anyone even in my perifel vision when I staged.
What I found to be the biggest distraction is to be one of the quickest drivers in the country at the lights, which I was. It really shakes guys up.
Look me up in Nitro Joes records.
