You might be a stick racer if you have ever ripped the "T" handle off the shifter going for second gear and still made two more shifts to complete the run. Still have the scar to prove it.

You might be a stick racer if you think ATF is only used for fogging down a motor before storing it for the winter.

You might be a stick racer if you find yourself dumping the imaginary clutch pedal in the couch when watching pro stock on tv.

You might be a stick shift racer if, you ran a 3200 lbs pressure plate and when you got to the place to get your ET slip, your leg is shaking so bad that your worried about it slipping off the clutch pedal. You might be a stick shift racer if, your line lock doesn't work you try to do a water burnout with your right foot on the brake and accelerator pedal at the same time. You might be a Stick Shift racer if you wonder why everyone doesn't put their car in neutral after they cross the finish line.
