If your desperate to have a fish fry at the race track and you are out of coleman fuel in your camp stove, race gas works!!

Also If you are racing in 90 degree weather and have a 32a15 fire suit anti monkey butt powder is your friend!

uh-huh!

If you race car feels like its leaning out on the one, two shift and then again at the 1000 foot line, PLEASE take your foot off the go peddle. Ask me how I know!!!

You can fit two adults on one tiny little minibike. Use C-clamps as foot rests.

Don't leave your tire gauge laying on the trunk. Track officials will return it, but in my experience they wont be real happy about it.

I did that exact same thing three weeks ago, everyone saw it, took two jacks and a lot of help to get it off the trailer, no harm done.

When you run Open Comp for the first time and they say take a tenth off best qualifying pass and that's your number for the event. So best was 10.29 and I put 10.39 on the window No...No...No...numerically Dumbazz...

The car won't move if you don't let go of the trans brake button

Big fuel pumps make a mess when you forget to put the fuel lines back on the bowls after a jet change.

A big cam will hide the fact that you left a plug wire off after reading plugs from your last pass...then really make you wonder why the car feels so daggum sluggish in the water box.

Many years ago a co worker was at the track with his car for his first time out. His friends were helping out. He was in the burnout box and his friends were dumping water under the tires. He did his burnout and staged. One of his friends ran up to the car while it was staged and poured water under his tires.

ha ha ha ha!

Don't drive 2 1/2 hrs to the track with out keys (locking column). Unless you bring Dizuster with you. Then it's a 10 minute operation to pick the trunk and ignition.

Yep... did that twice(not on the same day)...
hood pins.. yep... already did that on the Rampage,
its a hinged hood.. took off down the street checking
the trans.. it started to lift in front and came up
before I could slow it down... minimal damage(paint)..
make sure you have a dues fastener tool at all times
or a dime to open the hood when it catches on fire under
the hood

This one happened to a very good Friend of mine not once but twice many many years ago in his Chevele. When leaving the starting line in your 4 speed car double check to make sure its in 1st gear and NOT reverse.

I was racing in Woodburn a few years back in S/ST lucky enough to make it to the finals my opponent said in the stands no one has beat me to the strip. It's a 10.90 class?? needless to say I couldn't beat him to the strip either he was 15 car links ahead I lifted still broke out but 10.889 to his 10.743

A fresh Dana 60 will make exactly one pass without gear lube before it seizes

Never ever listen to anybody that says spray your points distributor down with WD40 to dry it out from a heavy rain - the resulting explosion will remove the cap from distributor for you and its a long way home if you drove the car to the strip.

When you let the clutch out on your bike at 10,000 rpm, make sure it is in gear.

When you launch your stick car let go of the line lock button before the front wheels come down.

When racing your late model truck, don't wait until you're one round out of the money to discover that turning on the defroster also starts the A/C compressor. It will kil .15 and your racing for the night.

in the finals in sept. smacked the guy on the tree was going to a smarta$$ and tag the brakes on the big end , and i showed him how to slide my car sideways
cheap hamburgers will cook well after the grease fire starts

Pit where you can hear the call for your class.
Missed fourth round call last week.

Roll down the window of the tow vehicle if you are going to leave it running so you don't lock yourself out of the vehicle.
