What is your Favorite Racing saying!!!

gotta love the Ayrton Senna quote. My father and I both said what a whiney little bitch he was after that. Irvine was racing him exceptionally well, admittedly to stay on the lead lap, but what was he supposed to do, just move the feck over? I seem to remember it was a rainy day, so a ballsy lucky driver could do well in a not so good car - Senna should have remembered the opening lap at Donnington in the European GP to have known that. Plus we Ulstermen are not great respecters of the high and mighty. Didn't his McLaren mechanics hang some boxing gloves on his wing mirrors after that, and then he had another whole snit.

" This is Travis Pastrana in a nutshell. He makes the rest of humanity look like a bunch of neutered poodles." - Sam Smith's coverage of the Sno*drift Rally

Dont quit your day job - Bruce McInnes said to my whole class at my Skippy school

Who do you think that you are, Mario Andretti?? - Sebring police officer also at my Skippy school when he stopped a classmate in the early morning hours while still wearing his driving suit

Have not yet seen this classic: "When the green flag drops, the bullE36 M3 stops"

Dirt's for racing. Asphalt's for getting there.

I can't remember where I read this quote but an unknown rally driver said regarding the handling of his car on a stage " If I don't have to look out the back window then the handling is fine".

There are two kinds or rally drivers: Those who've rolled and those who will. ----?

" You know, I have never been in a roll over accident before!" - Joel Blatchford (joey48442) while riding ballast at a rallycross in Mid Michigan as I was tailing out and about to miss a fence about 20 yards of course.

I piss excellence! - Ricky Bobby

Drive until you can just get a glimpse of god and then back it down a 1/10th.

Physics.. . . The Silent Killer.

Cheep, Fast and Reliable.. .. You can only have two.

Gasoline is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking. Nitro is for racing.

Oviously-"I WAS 7th!!!!!!" (watch the you tube video, the driver is now doing really well in SM in my region)

"IWhen you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.''-Ayrton Senna

and me and my freinds quote from a YouTube video "I dont givva SH*T!!!"

I was at that event...and I think this has to be the fourth time you have quoted that on this board...

still funny though.

Another way to describe WFO:

Balls out and belly to the ground!

"I was going very fast, yah, ah, faster than I could see, and then it was 90 left and I rolled it"--Hannu Mikkola
"Monseur Bentley builds the fastest trucks in Europe" -- Ettore Bugatti
and my alltime favorite, " If you guys had any balls, you'd race back down this mountain!" -- Michelle Mouton after winning Pike's Peak

It may be the fifth. Joel has NEVER gone racing with me since. I need a baconator.

I've always enjoyed (and of course, never subscribed to) the saying: "there are cheaters and there are losers"

"If you don't want me to drive on it, you shouldn't pave it."
-Mario Andretti, discussing some weird rule about a painted line at the Indy 500 in the mid 1990s.

of corners, someone clever said- "in like a lark, out like a lion."

Thanks for providing a flashback. Late 80's, driving up I-85 to Road Atlanta early Sunday morning for day two of a Solo I time trial. Off in the distance, flashing lights on the side of the road. As I approach, I realize it is the new very enthusiastic racer who bought the ex-Bob Postell SSB Peugot 505 turbo, still with numbers and graphics, standing next to the car on the side of the road wearing his Nomex driving suit. Hard to talk your way out of that one, methinks......

"Back up. Turn that piece of E36 M3 around, and don't ever come back." - Atlanta Dragway employee.

"You were absolutely hauling ass the last time I lapped you!"

Seen on the back of a trailer at a vintage event:

If it goes fast or wears panties, you can't afford it.

In a racecar, shift happens.
