"Gentlemen, start your engines!!!



Be it on TV or live at the track...it's sure been mine fer the last 50 years....

Sir Jackie Stewart's summation of an incedent "It's another case of someone with no business whatsoever of being on a racecourse" I always loved that one.

Do you recall who he was talking about?

"He's like a dart without feathers out there." Tony Stewart's assessment of David Ragan as a rookie

This was late in A.J. Foyt's career as a driver. He had just qualified for the Indianapolis 500. But, his speed was just tolerable. After you qualify, you go to end of pit row for official pictures and an interview by a track announcer. Announcer: "Well, A.J., how was the car out there?" A.J.: "It drove like a tub of $---!"

"It sucks" Kyle Busch, after winning the first CoT race when asked his opinion of the new NASCAR Spec Car.

The famous quote from Le Mans:

"Racing...it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting."

Or the original from Caracciola: "To race is to live. All the rest is just waiting."

*random Hobbes mumbling and sound effects* lol

"If you're going that slow, you might as well bring it in an have a mechanic hit the gearbox with a hammer. It might not do anything, but at least it will give a reassuring clunk." Some commentator from EuroSport 2 during a GP2 Asia race replay I saw.

"If you can't fix it with a hammer, then you really are screwed." Same EuroSport 2 commentator during a different GP2 race after seeing a mechanic hammering on a suspension piece on TV.

The two above quotes are paraphrased, as I cannot recall the exact wording of the quotes, but they stood out to me the most lol
