Top 10 signs you are obsessed with sprint cars

I saw this on a photography website.....Been alot of serious talk and emotions on the site lately, thought I would throw in a joke to break it up......

10. You've been known to show up early to a race just to watch them prepare the track.
9. You've been known to live the entire week of the Nationals on Vivarin and Beer.
8. People constantly think you are a tour guide at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum.
7. Winged vs. non-winged arguments have destroyed some of your strongest friendships.
6. Build a life-size sprint car from empty beer cans, and then brag that it's lighter than Karl Kinser's car.
5. You don't know or care where Kosovo is, but you can drive to Eldora with your eyes closed.
4. You routinely correct people who pronounce HAUDENSCHILD wrong.
3. You're still bitter that Dave Blaney went taxi-cab racing.
2. Not only does Sammy Swindell know you by name, he has a restraining order against you.

And the Number One sign you're too obsessed with Sprint Cars:

1. Your wife goes into labor on Saturday night of the Nationals and you only miss the "C" Main!

You can get help with your obsession by locating your nearest Sprint Addicts Anonymous chapter. Their program works like any other 12 Step Program, except they invert the first 6 steps.

If your animals have names like stagger, offset, torrsion bar, sway bar. If your wife, girlfriend knows that nice and heavy is a good thing, and banging it off the curb makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. If you our asked what jackslash is once a week at work. You are obsessed with the GREATESS form of MOTORSPORT on the planet.

One other sign you are obsessed with sprint car racing: You set your life up so that you are not more than 40 minutes away from the track. Unfortunately I had that and ost it but working like crazy to get that back.

You know that stagger has to do with tire circumference and not what a drunk guy does when he tries to walk.
