this blog is not about sex at all (please don't read if you are looking for sex... really)... have you ever seen a movie and you really like it (I mean some of us will remain adolescents the rest of our lives... so, I've been told thousands of times)... but, then, you think... naw, no way... that's impossible, it can't happen... well, in 2001 the first 'Fast and the Furious' movie came out with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel... I said, wow, what a movie... the coolest chase scenes since 'Bullit'; 'French Connection' & 'Its a mad, mad, mad, mad world'... well, the last one was just a joke... but, then, I got to thinking, naw, no way, that's impossible... until 2006 rolled around... At this time I was working a gig in Fort Worth, Texas and I met some interesting people including one guy who loved to drag race... now, he wasn't just your average guy who went out and bought a fast car... and, paid sticker for it new... no, this guy was a real car man... he bought an old muscle car and put 100K dollars into a new engine, transmission, wheels, tires, carburetor... and, when he cranked that car up the whole block shook... this was a 'mean' machine... he'd been telling me about his car for a few weeks, and I'd listen during lunch and tell him about my hobbies... (that's another blog...)... but, here's what he had to say... he said that a bunch of people across the country put money up to drag race at various cities across the country... winner take all... so, if 20 'wild & crazy' guys got together, then, somebody was going to win $20k to $100K at the end of the late evening... well, when I first heard his story I started laughing and I asked him if he had seen 'the fast and the furious'? Yes, he said, and he said next time he raced I could go watch... Well, next time came a few weeks later in Dallas.. he said that we would meet at his shop at 10:00 pm at night and drive to the race spot... and, I'm thinking... you got to be kidding me... but, I said ok... and showed up at his shop (a friend of his owned a garage where he kept his car) at 10:00 pm... he had his car loaded on a car trailer and he and his buddy would ride in the truck that drove it to Dallas... I followed in my car... so, we drove from Fort Worth to Dallas... (I was working in Fort Worth and during the week I stayed there, but on weekends I came back to my house in Plano), so it didn't make sense to leave my car there... so, the adventure began at 10:00 pm and we drove to a warehouse in west Dallas, where all the drivers registered and invested their money... there were cars of all shapes and sizes... some even had the nitrous oxide option... that was cool... 'cause I thought that was fake in the movie, when they hit the nitrous switch and they get that extra power... but, there it was... oh, there were some beautiful cars there... I liken it to being surrounded by beautiful women, because they were all awesome, yet different, some had incredible paint jobs, some had huge engines, some cost a lot of money stock, and some looked no better than clunkers till you looked under the hood... you could eat 'pussy' off of any of those engines... (ok, so that is the only sexual reference I'm going to make... sorry about that... So, my buddy and his friend go to register and my job was to stay with the car... it is then, that I realized that this was happening, and that, people might do anything to when that money... they could slash tires, cut a fuel line... whatever, so, somebody had to watch the car... that's what I did... when the meeting was over, my buddy comes over and tells me about the security... they had six guys with walkie talkies and police band radios... just like in the movie... and they had a map with 10 different racing locations around the Dallas area... now picture a caravan of about 60 to 80 cars, some being pulled on a trailer others packed with fans of the event... and, that's what was driving around dallas at midnight... so, we start driving to a warehouse district in Garland (site #1)... and when we get there, security alerts everybody that the site is not ripe... there a cops in the neighborhood... so the entourage goes to site #2, out past Lewisville... nope, still no good... on to site #3... it is getting close to 2:00 am now... and the entourage moves to a warehouse district in Carrolton... everything is a go... so, the organizers show the drivers the 1/4 mile that every 2 cars will race... picture hundreds of people... streets blocked off in a warehouse district... the race track is a few blocks long and only two lanes for the 10 second race... no elaborate lights for the racers like at Daytona... no television crews... just crazy fans... so, the start line is setup, and there are people that pour bleach where the rear tires will be for traction... they seem to have found a willing vixen to stand in front (just like the movie) of these cars that are extremely fast, loud, and fixin' to race on not the best track for safety... no safety fences... not much light other than a few street lights... and race #1 is getting ready to start... the young lady states: on your mark, (raises a flag) get set.. go (lowers the flag)... now, I had my ear protection on from one of my hobbies, so I was fine... but, I could hear those engines tearing down the street for less than 10 seconds... it was incredible... now, folks I've been to the Texas Motor Speedway a number of times... and, yes, it was exciting, but, this was like being in a movie... part 2 may come later pending any kind of interest whatsoever... thanks for reading....

I watched all seven of those movie so far, and if I'm still around, next year I'll watch #8 yes, I did... and there were 2 others that I participated in... it was something else... I'm sure there were some fast cars in Italy... I bet you had some fun times... I loved those movies... even the one in Japan, which started to grow on me... because of the sliding... I'll have to admit that I did tear up when Paul Walker died... but, when you live life in the fast lane, sometimes you die by that sword... Oh, i'll see #8 2... can't wait... thanks for posting!!!

I know someone who has attended those types of events in Dallas. You make them sound exciting, he made them sound dangerous. Be safe and have fun.

I can still cry when I think of Paul...you know he wasn't driving, and there has been something that has never settled with me about it....just a gut feeling I guess, that it was provoked and not direct to Paul, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time......... I'd rather be in the right place at the right time!!! That's why I want to know if I am going to fly on a plane... I'd rather not be on the plane where somebody's number is up... So, when a plane gets delayed I don't get 2 bent out of shape... Just taking it easy!!!! To leave private messages, please use my confidential mailbox at my blog: Good luck!!!

Hi author... Thanks for posting... I thought that this post wouldn't get too much traction as I am being conscious about providing as much detail in the titles so people can make the right or wrong choice to read... But, I think this blog hit a nerve. I'm glad it did... And, I'm glad that you enjoyed it... That's cool that your nephew is into racing... The experiences I had are similar to the kind I get when I go to a concert... There is a certain anticipation of 'being there' not in the movie or the headset, but, actually participating!!! Even though I prefer slow and easy... Every now and then you have to get a little crazy... But, not 2 much!!! To leave private messages, please use my confidential mailbox at my blog: Good luck!!!

I know someone who has attended those types of events in Dallas. You make them sound exciting, he made them sound dangerous. Be safe and have fun. Thanks for visiting. It was extremely dangerous... and exciting and exhilarating as all get out... When I wrote it I did not know who the audience would be, even though I prepared everyone for a 'no sex' experience... And, I don't know who all is going to read it and for how long... So, I tried to make it interesting and fun... But, if I continue to write about it, there is definitely danger... OMG... But, what is life without a little spice... The other day I ran into this guy outside of an elevator at work and he asked me how I was and I said I was feeling great. He responded by saying as long as we are working and not in jail, life was good... That was an interesting comment that sparked some sense memories... Anyway, thanks again... I'm so glad you found it to be interesting!!! To leave private messages, please use my confidential mailbox at my blog: Good luck!!!
