What was everyone’s favorite quote?

I kinda liked Chad saying “I’m glad I blew up my engine!”, on Sunday. He will need to be the one to explain that one.

Kendra Whitney had a couple of “gems”. Not only did she say to Mike “Keep your crotch cool!”, but Mike said he would share her other comment regarding broken chit…

 

"You cannot finish first unless you finish"

- some random older gentleman who I asked to close my trunk on grid

 

You cannot finish first unless you first finish.

 

"I spent 3 thousand dollars to go 3 seconds slower." -krsultz
"His head is going to be so big, I won't be able to fit in the house" -Kenrda Whitney
"I can't win a race, but I have that mowing grass in hogpen thing down pat." -Franzinator

"This car of yours is actually pretty reliable, but when it breaks, it breaks in twos and threes."

Todd Reid, who along with countless others provided the replacement axle, help with the install, tools, moral support, and some much needed cheering up

 

I had something funny to say about your busted ****, but i forget what it was now. And you still never told me that story.

Yep, so true. Aside from my shitty driving, I had the worst luck since beginning this damn hobby.

Just for reference, closing on a Miata in hogpen at twice their speed is not a good thing.

No excuses, my driving is what cost me the race. Period.

Congrats to the winners, though!

who may be at Lowes to officiate.

 

Me: "My seat is broken" about my bicycle
RJ: "Did you let Karl ride it?"



Love ya Karl..

I can attest to this, I can honestly say that the extremely large field taught me a huge amount about patience, traffic management and passing at full speed

Todd is one of the most upbeat and giving people I have ever met, I owe another 5 mph to him

 

looking at the footage on my video camera after the race on sunday from inside bookler's car, someone mentioned the footage of the start, so chad came over and said, "we need a big screen for this"

 

"You cannot finish first unless you finish"

Not true, I remember a car getting 1st (h4?) at beaver Hizzyfest that didn't finish.

 

My favorite quote of the weekend made my sig....

 

"I was with one of those H1 cars most of the way around the track and then we hit the front straight and he was like GOODBYE. I had no idea those damn cars had that much power." - Chuck Reyes

I thought that was the general sentiment of most all the THSCC people (both male and female).


Drew - Who still laughs at the story Karl told him onec about the garden hose reel braking, the hose full of holes, the new computer desk breaking and falling over thus catapulting the new monitor into the freshly painted wall along with a multitude of other things that all broke in 1 afternoon

Chuck's quote to me was "Where the hell did you come from?"

 

Last October at VIR Karl leaned on Renee's Neon whilst we were conversing.

We then spent the winter with the car mostly parked, converting it to STS specs.

In its 3rd event of 2003, this car which had been previously dead-on reliable for 130K started making a horrible racket from under the hood. The diagnosis is a bent rod and god knows what else. The car is now parked until we can come up with the $$$ to get a new motor or rebuild this one.

It occurs to me that cars that Karl actually DRIVES seem to come out with some sort of immunity. Cars that he rides in or simply touches have terrible "The Omen" things happen to them.
Lets face it, Karl's Integra is approaching 50 track weekends and still has very few failures to its credit. However, Renee's Neon, My old Integra, and MadMatt's Sentra have suffered painful failures/accidents after Karl has graced their auras.

Think of it in terms of using venom to create immunity to snake bites.

Hey Rice... Wanna do an enduro with me at VIR next year?

Scott, who really does love the guy.

 

With all the crap Karl goes through he still does a hell of a job and always seems to be able to joke about it

Morgan - who cannot wait until the next time he gets to race Karl

 

Personally, I think this weekend worked in reverse. I think Karl made the mistake of parking too close to Murphy, and my car's bad luck rubbed off on him....

After Karl looked under my hood at CMP, my master cylinder took a dump. That sucked ***.

And last weekend, after karl's axle blew, we pulled the wheels of my friend's black integra and his axle was blown too. Sadly enough, we were standing there laughing at him while he replaced his axle.

 

My Favorite quote came from a random racer..

"This is our first time racing with NASA it was good to hear some one upbeat on the annoucments cuase when we race with the SCCA usually only hear grumbling voices who are ticked off at the world or mad at you..."

 

Yep, nice job David.. we take you for granted.
