More like liberty in a world where we have to pay our bills and quit
borrowing?
It ain't gonna be fun, kiddies.....
I know you all can do arithmetic. Like figuring tire size or gear change to
get the right rpm at the speed you need to qualify, figuring your cubic
inches after the cleanup bore on an engine block or the amount of nitro to
add to the mixing jug to add 10% to the mix. If you know how to multiply
and divide then certainly you know how to add and subtract.
So here you are, 3 mph under the record with your last chance to get in
line today and barely enough time to mix up some fuel. There's the jug of
nitro staring at you and there you are visualizing pistons with holes in
them. ........ And the dark clouds are gathering over the Silver Island
Mountains. And your plan B is take down the tarp, cover the race car,
batten down the trailer and head for Wendover.
Now go look up the real breakdown of the federal budget on the internet,
study it for a few minutes and then tell us what you want to cut and where
to make it balance and when is a good time to make those tough decisions.
It's like whether you want to review your run records, carefully calculate
the fuel mix for the next run think about it and wait for the cool air of
tomorrow morning. Or simply listen to the smart ass on your crew, the one
who doesn't have any financial stake in the race car, who wants to dump the
whole jug of nitro into the fuel, say a prayer and go get in line.
