Default Racing Quotes

Hey guys, I've heard a few good quotes about racing in the last couple of days so I thought Id share them. I also thought it might be fun to see what other peoples favorite, or even random racing quotes are.
Here are mine.

"There are days when racing is just like standing in a cold shower tearing up hundred-dollar bills."
-Pratt Cole,
three-time SCCA national champion

"In any given circumstance you think you have a limit, and you then go for this limit, and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit." As soon as you touch this limit something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."
-I heard this in a video I have of a Honda racer at the Grand Prix De Monico.

And my favorite is in my sig, more of an S2K quote than a racing one.

Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning -

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.
You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

and my favorite one


It's all right. I ain't losin'. This fool is running a Honda 2000. I'll win. Then me and my dad can roll together when he gets out of prison. It's all good.

Speed never killed anyone. It's the act of becoming suddenly stationary that does the trick.
