I do. I wanna haul ass. And I don't mean wadding the car up around a tree on a side road, That's nothing but stupid.
I mean FAST. That long straightaway at Road Atlanta......there's something about that, the way that was built. Going down that hill into 10A, it makes your ass feel like you'd better let out of it, or you'll wreck for sure. And maybe you might if you don't..
But I mean FAST, Way damned fast.
Who's gonna put me in a car that will go that fast? We don't have the means or the knowledge here at Weeville to end up in a bullet-shaped rocket like at Bonneville. I'm already old, my reflexes are not what they used to be. Fly apart into pieces trying. But what a way to go, doing the thing you love. And that's been a point of contention here on the BS forum - "Died doing the thing he loved." The argument is, he died wrecking? Is that the thing he loved, wrecking?
And I don't have a death wish. The tracks I've run, you could die at AMP if you really did have a death wish. But you would have to turn the steering wheel really hard and keep the foot on the gas, you'd have to do that on purpose if you wanted to. And you could do that on the interstate if you wanted to clock out.
Daytona. As well as that place is designed and meant for speed, Yeah, it's the speed. It's the speed that'll getcha at any speed.
But all of that seems to get in the way. I wanna go FAST. Real fast. But I can't afford it. And I'm too old anyhow. Oh well, just have to watch the movies I guess.
