Was thinking of this when I quoted Vortecd's signature earlier today. What should be the inscribed on a tablet and toted down from the mountain commandments of racing? The three that leaped to mind for me are:

1. "Shut up and Line up" (not sure who to attribute it to, MSHS? Demon performance?)
2. "Fast, reliable, and cheap, pick any two" been around awhile author unknown
3. "without DATA, you're just another person with an OPINION"," without a real world test, it is all a guess", currently attributed to Vortecd
4. "Let me show you the menu at gapplebees." fumanchu182 (have to have a Gapplebees reference)
5."spinning isn't winning" Vortecd
6. "practice practice practice" Vortecd
7. "Stay in it to win it- some dumb ass headed for the wall" Magnified
8. "Speed is expensive, how fast do you want to go?" B5Cat16
9. "“When in doubt, throttle out!” DaveB
10.#1 (Bull)



11.
"Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how hard you hit the wall."
Corollary: "Oversteer is when your backend hits the wall.
Understeer is when your front end hits the wall" Finface
(a little something for the road racers)

If you fail to practice, you practice to fail.

I starred the two I like best, can't give you all of them lest it become the all Vortecd show. You think you could do the Charleton Heston thing? Flowing robes and beard, two big tablets? Coming down from the mount to set us all straight with your booming voice?

If you fail to practice, you practice to fail.
Yep
Leave on the last yellow
Another Yep

You know, I am a big fan of the movie, watched it many times. I tell people that if they have never seen it to watch it. To me it is a learning tool. How mosses took a different approach then pharaoh to build a city and was more successful.

Great people and a great track! I'm still working on my first 100 passes. Had a lot more growing up on county line road before they built Highlands Ranch

“When in doubt, throttle out!”

It’s a mountain sled thing....may or may not apply in the automotive world, but sounds cool.
