"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower." - Mark Donohue

...and this classic moment from Australian Touring Car legend Dick Johnson in his first NASCAR race back in 1990 (at 0:45). I remember watching this live on CBS. The reaction from Bob Jenkins is priceless! Earlier in the race he got tagged by Richard Petty at the hairpin and yelled, "What a PRICK!!!"

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, oversteer with the back.

There is another piece to this, which I learned back in the '70s driving a friends
'73 Honda Civic cvcc at Mosport. I came in after a few practice laps, and said "it's
rather neutral through turn 10..."

So the quote is, "Neutral is where you hit the tire wall just right"...

Jon, excellent quotes. Not gonna use Han's quotes for it, but that's beside the point. I love that movie, I actually just watched it again the other day for the first time in a few years, and it's still great, despite Lucas "improving" (not) it.
