All true blue drag racers start out the same, they take some "dog" car to the track and cut their teeth and really thought their car was fast until they got their firs time slip.
Then the battle began, like, I know I can make this thing go faster.
We have all been there Venice, at least the real racers have, but very few can say what you can.

I am a national record holder.

We your friends, are all very proud of you.

Dick, you are not only a nice old guy, but an exceptional wordsmith, I must say!!
