Seen and heard at Challenge....

I'll try to maintain a bit of decorum, and probably best to not identify the parties if you wish to share.  I'll go first :

Overheard in parking lot last evening."Damn...a tree fell on my Corvette and my Jaguar last month."

Reply..."Sounds like a first world problem to me.  Glad your Polo ponies survived."

Need more of these. Way more. And they should all be say what 

'I was young and really needed the money."

In reply to Ovid_and_Flem :

Lol. 

"I should never have sold the Shelby gt350-h for $350"

We spent the better part of the drags trying to get the wastegate actuator connected up to the wastegate on the turbo Rampage, and then trying (unsuccessfully) to get the pin installed to keep it from coming apart again- all of which involved trying to find the right hole and get a small rod into it. I don’t think a single sentence was said trying to describe what we were trying to do or suggesting how to get differently to make my work without it being followed immediately by “That’s what she/he said!”

Sunday morning:  "There's a fine line between waking up and coming to."

Challenger 1:  "This event is more like a family reunion tHan a racing weekend."

Challenger2:  "Well,  yeah ....if you have a dysfunctional family dynamic with many fun, intoxicated uncles all wearing identical Tshirts."

Driver after running 39 second pass iin Miata in General Tire challenge:  "Wow...I was pretty quick."

Driver's new wife of 7 months:  "That's not the only thing you finish in under a minute."

Challenger 1:  "Next year we plan on a stand alone fuel injection system with ITB's controlled by a custom program  I've downloaded onto my iPad that serves as a digital dash also controlling active aero integrated with a variable boost controlled wastegate."

Challenger 2: "I'm hoping to get me some yellow plug wires."

"Too bad GA Tech team had to run last year's Subaru Insight...their faculty advisor didn't get the yellow cake uranium out of Syria in time for their latest build."

Driver of tow pig running 78 mph on way home in torrential down pour Sunday:  "This is gonna sound crazy but my poor eyesight actually helps me in zero visibility conditions."

Passenger:  "That's not exactly reassuring."

Driver of tow pig after 9 hours:  "We boil dried chicken feet to feed our pet sugar gliders."

Passenger:  "We've officially run out of things to talk about. "

I do remember sat night the yellow plug wires comment out by the pool.

Nameless concours judge: "Within 5 minutes of release of concours scores online,  my berklying cell phone lit up  with a but load of text messages."

"My BMW race car was perfectly balanced with 50/50 cross weights and 50/50 front and rear^

"Did you weigh with you in it?"

"No."

"DUDE,,,YOU WEIGH LIKE 300 LBS...don't you think that might have affected balance a bit?

"I only weighed 280 back then."

"OK......bet it really handled turning left.  Were you racing in NASCAR? "

JG:  "what's the goal?"

"Isn't it ironic that last year the GA Tech team spent five hours during the autocross welding on their prius...and this year didn't have to weld anything and won the welder.  Karma baby!'
