I always look forward to hitting the track with a passion and as the time approaches I get anxious.

Will my truck perorm?
What's that tick tick sound?
Why does water vapor exit my exhaust when cold?
What if I break something?
What if I smash something?
What if I'm slow :(

I run my launch plan over and over in my head and lose a couple hours sleep.
Is it only me?


:jest:

no your not the only one lol. ive never ran at the track so that might be why im excited about racin, plus i wanna see some of my shit talkin buddies get there asses handed to them so bad this summer. im just worried i wont have my LS1 in the truck for race day, in which case ill be forced to run my 4.8 against fuggin stock imports so i dont get to humiliated lol

LOL, alot of those things are some of the reasons why I don't go to the track. I'm afraid that the numbers will only further remind me that my truck is slow.

The rush is all worth it. Dont hesitate taking it to the track, it is a blast and a lot safer than a WOT on the street. :)

Boyz....the track is great! The nerves and the excitement.....whooo...ogtta love it. But................there ain't no feeling like being at a stop light and some punk is next to you in a GT Mustang. The punk revs the car and when the light turns green, a big ol' Z71 rolls up some white smoke and half tracks the Mustang to the next light! And when you turn to look at the kid driving the Mustang...he won't even look at you and just stares at the floor or the dash.

Street racing kicks ass...but the track is the safest place to show your balls!

Mine go like this:

"What if I brake it?"
"How will I get it home?"
"Who's trailer can I barrow this time?"
"Will I feel much pain when my wife kills me after she finds out I broke the money pit, AGAIN?"

You think its fun just running for time, try a little bracket racing :)

I run brackets on the Weds night deals, made it thru 3 rounds and got killed by my r/t on the 4th, damn it!
Brackets are fun but there is a lot of technique to learn to win!

I've tried bracket racing It's a bit harder, but pretty fun..

i can do perty good bracket racing but my problem is it is hard to let out of it when you are a head then you over run you'r time

I think mostly about cratering the motor or hitting the wall at 140+. Man, either one of those would HURT!! ;)

I get butterflys every time I cinch the harness.

heres what im thinkin before every pass

will the stock 60e or the rear end go first? lets figure it out :jest:

i dont lose sleep over it though

I used to not have those thoughts.... :nono:


I get nervous on the way to the track. Thats why as soon as i get to the track, i like to do a shakedown run. Just a tiny burnout (anybody remember a certain Dshaft blowing video when i made the pussiest burnout ever? :lol: I was doing my shakedown when she popped ) and get used to the light just to get the nerves out. The next run is usually better. :D

I get the butterflies myself... I ALWAYS wonder... is think mutherfuker gonna decide to hook this time?!?!?! and it never does LOL...

I have been wanting to take my truck to SCCA racing events,.. but I know that the guys that go to those events are serious and my truck would probly look like a joke to them. Honestly I guess 4000ibs is'nt ment to race, but it feels so good when I floor it and I hear the engine roar, and of coarse there is the though that I might break something in which case I would have to work really hard to fix it, I mean I only get $6 an hour so its not like I could just throw out some money... I don't really know if racing is worth it

No matter what you drive, be proud of what you race......and don't worry what other people think about you! Most of the time if someone rags you about racing your truck....that means they are just jealous pricks anyway.

I'd go racing trucks with you anytime ya want. Hell I race mine all the time.

Ha, no I'm am actually really proud of my truck. I know it can smoke allot of lame ricers, and it has. But, I also know that putting my truck up against camaros, Trans Ams, vettes, etc.. would be a masecre. Unless I am a really great driver? I have'nt gotten in a wreck yet, and I have avoided 3 accidents at 35-60mph so I am really comfortable with my truck, I know how it responds. I guess the main thing for me is money

If I leave my car relatively sane, I don't get nervous much and can go and just have fun. Once I pass a certain mark, though... I start thinking about the cage (or lack there of), breaking an axle, blowing the motor or tranny, the guy in the lane next to me (who may or may not know how to drive), fuel, temperature, yaddy. It's safe to say that I've been 'there' with this truck for a long time :)

I'm usually fine til I pull into the lane and burn out, and then as I stage my heart rate jumps ;)
