where insanity meets breeding

On the starting grid they’re rev, rev, rev, reving up
Minds are focused, wheels grip tight, who is gonna win the cup
The signal flashes red light, red light, red light...green
Vrroom, hear the roar of the engines as they scream
Whoosh, lightening fast, see them squealing off the grid
First corner, smash, crash, one car just got hit
Bang, bounce, thud, another hits the tire wall
Radios crackle, static voices, the rescue team is called
Screeching tires and the roars of thunder from the crowd
F-1 racings fun, but it sure gets pretty loud

Haven't been to the track in years...loud is an understatement.  Here it's mostly Nascar.  Still love the speed, and your poem is too Onocarcool.  Are you the perfect woman...or what?

Now Nascar I don't watch, just F1 and CART (though even F1 loses it's excitement when Schumacher keeps winning. I want Coulthard to win dammit!!!) And yes indeed, I am the perfect woman, I love cars, I drive with speed, I drink beer and I tell naughty jokes. What's not to love!!! LOL

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
