Here's a few I found at another site...
You know you're a race car driver when:
-You think the primary purpose of wings is to PREVENT flight.
-You are happiest when your street car's tires are worn to "racing depth".
-When something falls off of your car, you wonder how much weight you just saved.
-Your racing budget exceeds your housing payment.
-Your email address refers to your car rather than to you.
-You walk "proper lines" through the grocery store.
-You measure all family acquisitions in terms of the number of race tires that could have been purchased. (EG: You know well that orthodontic work is the equivalent of three sets of Hoosiers.)
-Your Christmas list begins with "another set of Porterfield Rs4s and Toyo RA1's" (and your 'significant other' knows what these are).
-After your answer to "What did you do this weekend?" the next question is always: "And you do this for fun? Right?"
-Your reading material in your bathroom consists of auto parts and racing supply catalogs.
-Your criteria for selecting a significant other include their auto repair skills and garage space, then your first date involves asking her to crew for you.
-You plan your wedding around the race schedule. (ask Krazik!)
-You remember the dates and details of every race you've ever been in, but can't remember your phone number.
-Your family brings the couch into the garage so they can spend some time with you.
-You complain when cars in front of you on highway off-ramps don't stay on the line, causing your exit speed to drop.
-You refer to the corner down the street from your house as "Turn One."
-You look at the fire hydrant at that corner and see an apex marker.
-You always late apex the intersection and try to pass a few cars coming out.
-You hate long distance drives to visit relatives of to go on vacation, but you will gladly drive 800 miles to the race track.
-You save broken car parts as "mementos".
-Your last several freeway forays included just brushing the curbs as you apexed the on-ramps perfectly.
-You have the Tire Rack programmed on your speed dialer.
-You know the "racing line" of every turn in your daily commute, including your alternate routes, and practice hitting them every day.
-After you tell your wife where you'd like to go on your vacation she answers: "Why... is there a race there?"
(Thanks to Kathy Reisinger (T&S) for passing these along, my apologies for my S2K edits)

"If speed kills, then do brakes give life?" Brembo Shirt
"If the winner of the Indy 500 got out of the car and had a broomstick up his ass, next year everyone would drive with a broomstick up their ass!" Mario Andretti
"It was a lot easier to get a top racing seat when I was starting out because drivers were always getting killed." Mario Andretti

Oh, man.... this has happened before
She said that when I said I was buying us tickets to Japan. Needless to say, she knew where Suzuka Circuit was!!!

You know you're a racer when....
My mountain bike has nitrogen in the tyres. Well- that's was what was in the airtank!
And yes "vacations" are planned around races. San Juan for the Puerto Rico GP (Speed World Challenge, Trans AM)- cash in those Hilton points! The event hotel is right on the beach.
