Re: The Undead Gateway Thread
found on a racing forum:
It was the night before qualifying And all round the track All the teams were excited ‘bout a ‘NEW’ steering rack About new wheels and tires and brakes like molasses ‘bout new sway bars, and spring rates And late braking passes. All the Tech Inspectors were tucked into bed While visions of full compliance danced in their heads. And I, in my Nomex, and Carbon-X underwear Had just settled down in my big comfy chair To await my endeavor, my turn, my attempt At a chance to make history…and possibly rent, By completing, NO, Winning the 24 Hour That’s run every season with cars of all power. Twice round the clock In sun, rain, or snow… No excuses, no traction, no problem, let’s go! As I sat there and waited in the dark of the night From the murk, from the fog, from the late starry light… A glow, oh so brilliant, a sound, oh so deep, Came rushing, came drifting, racing straight for my feet! I sprang from my seat and ran to the pit rail To better see, better glimpse what this could entail. And what to my watering, gas fumed eyes did I see? But a bright red Corvette led by eight tiny Minis. It’s driver, a plump, rolly polly old guy, Dressed in a bright red firesuit with a gold sequined fly, Gripped the wheel, and the stick shift, Punched the clutch, headers flamed, And he flashed his lights at the Minis As he called them by name: “On Fangio, on Gurney, on Donahue and Hall!! On Schumacher, on Raikonnen, on Posey, on Paul!” Their tires, they squealed Their engines, they strained Their gearboxes whined, and they smoked, and complained. They weaved and they wiggled and darted and dove And their headlights and taillights and brake rotors glowed. The old driver laughed and bellowed with glee. Much fun he was having was obvious to me. The red Vette lurched sideways And he pulled a strong shift, and I swear There was a twinkle in his visor as he completed the drift. And in the hatch of the racer, piled there with joy, Bounced, jostled, and tumbled all manor of toys. A new helmet for Dusty New tires for Burr And a new computer module for Wheelman… We know what that’s fer. As he sped by me, a checker he waved Almost like saying my race can be saved. Then, quick as a Crosley, as fast as a Storh He downshifted, trail braked, and foot to the floor, I heard him shout to the Minis “To the top of the hill! Round the Oak Tree, down the Cork Screw, Thru the Valley so still!” “To the East Coast, To the West Coast, To the North and the South… To every Race Shop, and Race Fan, and Racetrack and House… May the Holidays find you and keep in ‘Gear’ And may all you be Racers and Workers for years!” And as they zoomed from my limited Fog and snow hindered sight The fat jolly driver shouted, “Merry Christmas to ALL…and to all a Good Night.”
