"You can live in your car, but you can't race your house"
"Understeer is when you run straight into a wall. Oversteer is when you back into a wall"
"Auto Racing, Mountain Climbing, and Bullfighting are the only real sports. The rest are just games." -Ernest Hemmingway
"You have enough power when you can leave rubber on the pavement from the exit of the corner to the braking point of the next corner all the way around the track" -Mark Donahue's response as to whether or not his Porsche 917/30 had enough power.

You never know how fast you can go, until you crash! (Dave Aldana, motorcycle racer)
If you don't want to hurt it or brake it, leave home and don't bring it to the race track! Attributed to an old friend of my father's that used to race late model sportsman cars. In a long story, that I will not go into here (e-mail me if you like) he experienced the following as an owner:
Sucked a valve in the truck that hauled his race car.
Burned out the automatic transmission in his personal car by pushing the truck up hills to get to Nazareth race track.
Missed the qualifying heat, because of the aforementioned. Had to start dead last in the 25 lap main event. By lap 22, his car was running third. Threw a rod when the motor let go that went through the oil pan and fried the whole engine, including the cam shafts. The only part that was savagable was the fuel injection system. Sent for his wrecker to tow the truck and race car home, and burned out the clutch in that. One expensive night!

A Honda Civic and a 426 Hemi Cuda after a street race...
Civic: Damn, you're fast for an old car, I couldn't keep up.
Hemi: Thanks... who are you?
Civic: A Honda Civic.
Hemi: A Honda what?
Civic: A Honda Civic.
Hemi: Sorry, never heard of you before. Are you that loud mosquito that always following me? What are you running?
Civic: LOL, well yeah. I'm packing a modded B16A... a VTEC 4 cylinder high performance engine.
Hemi: Sounds really cool... but tell me, what's a FORE SILLINDER?
