OMG this is a good topic.
Well Sparco suits are sexy but I like and wear a MOMO..
When I was single guys would always ask the typical how fast do you go. Then they follow up with isnt it too dangerous. Then the "Thats nice" or "ok...". If I get that one, it means the guys feeling inferior to my accomplishemts.
Lately when I mention to people that I race cars they look at me and ask what my times are. Sheeesh dammm Fast and Fictious movie has got all the kids thinking 1/4mile is living.. I tell them I dont do 1/4mile. Thats boring. I rather spend 20min a session on track at 2:30 a lap.
I tell them I think the car is about 15.2 15.7 1/4mile time, and they say thats slow.. I'm like omg get a F'ing clue..
I get street challenges all the time. I just give them a few throttle blips and a nod and thats about it. Street racing is for fools.
And yeah - Do you win money... umm no.. *sigh* its tough talking to kids about Club Racing - they make you feel like your racing the equivilent of a simulation coin-op game.
Its tought to get through to the younger crowd. But I try to explain how it is - "Guys listen 1/4 13sec your done, till about 2 hrs later then you get another 13 of racing. I get 20min sessions or longer and about 4 a day. I run through all the gears like you do but I get to corner, brake, and slide a little."
Kids...
