You Might Be a Pinehead If...
I posted this on the WIRL Performance Boards, thought it would be fun here too:
I thought this would be fun. I'll start with a few and you can add to them:
You know you're a Pinehead if...
1) You know Derby Master's real name.
2) You have asked to be buried in a Pinewood coffin shaped like your derby car.
3). If your derby car coffin (above) will be tungsten weighted so it's CG is 1" above your rear's axle.
4) If you know the name of at least 4 of Derby Master's cars.
5) You've recently purchased stock in Nyoil.
6). 2 or more of your fingers are permanently stained with graphite with moly B.
7) You've named your children to intentionally have the initial's PWD.
If you refer to the after life as "that giant aluminum track in the sky"
9) If you've ever had a vivid dream of breaking the 18 second barrier and woke up not knowing if the dream was real or not.
10) If you've ever thought of developing a snack food that looks like Max V's thin outlaw wheels.
11) You've watched online videos of several heats of a WIRL race, and you've never entered a car.
12) You believe that PWD racing should be an Olympic Sport.
Interpreting Your Score:
1-3 Please, join Pinewood Anonymous' support group (or is that what these message boards are?)
4-6 With strong medicine and intense therapy, well, sorry, there really isn't much hope.
7-11 Maybe you could be on a reality show--Real WIRL'd.
12 Congratulations, you are the new Pinehead Poster child.

You use your kitchen table more for making cars than eating on.

- You own tools worth hundred of dollars, and use them only during derby season.
- You display your derby cars in cabinets worth hundreds of dollars.
- You understand the difference between a race method's fairness and its accuracy.
- You understand criteria for evaluating race methods other than fairness and accuracy.

Your wife's eyes appear "glazed over" as your eyes become wider and brighter the more you talk about PWD.
