Anyone
can go fast
in the straights
Winners
go fast
— in the turns
(2)
Real racers
race
Everyone else
— just talks
(3)
At the sight
of blood
Your foot
— goes to the floor
(4)
The last lap
may have been finished
But the race
— is never over
(5)
Pit stops ...
the key
to victory
— or defeat
(6)
Trophies
are for cases
Speed
— is for life
(7)
When nothing
is working
— go faster

Each one a gem. So true in any race action speaks louder than words, it is in the turns that one shows ones strength, measure and time your energy, Those that show off have little to show and when the going gets tough the tough get going. A wonderful write my friend
Glad it resonated, thanks.
You are most welcome Kurt
Kurt, this has real racing energy in it… short lines that hit like bursts of acceleration. The whole piece reads like track wisdom learned the hard way. Loved it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks. Direct messages from Dick Bell, Jackie Stewart, Stirling Moss, Yvon DuHamel, and Mario Andretti.
Most welcome, Kurt!
