    Or when your crew chief gives you the international O.K. sign when staging, he's actually telling you "you have zero chance of making it down there!"

    after getting my ass kicked in a street race by my good friend bryan, at the next stop light he leaned over in his car asked me "is that a 327 or a 307"? after 4 years still to this day it makes me laugh. this is the same guy that when we pulled up next to mustang with E/T streets mounted on the rear and lumpy idle from a hot cam, he rolls down the window, looks at the guy and goes " push the choke in it might run better"! bryan may not be famous but he comes up with some good ones.

    I'm reading Speed Bill's book - whatever it's called - and I think you could lift a quote from every page, if not a dozen. I know some folks have been beefing about Speedway, but my friend "Cowboy" Bob Norris in North Fond du Lac, Wis., says you can't build a car with the Speedway Catalog.

    In any case, all I've read in the book so far is about the early days of struggling to start racing and start a business and there really is a lot of good wisdom and philosophy for someone in either of those boats.

    A dude was outta gas at a stoplight and wondering his next move. My friend Todd says "Rock it back and forth, it allways works for my bike." We left the light with him rocking in the seat of his car. Hilarious.
    Another was in a book that had a twisted rod and a smashed piston. The caption was " possible total engine destruction" I've used that alot and not allways about cars.

    Overhearing my dad asking John Force a few questions, notably this one.
    "So, what does tire shake feel like?"
    John's reply-"It feels like your ass is shaking out of your butthole".

    Always liked that one.
