matthewcline 0 #6 February 19, 2006 Having stood in Victory Lane with a few of them and listening to them talk, they just go in the fire suits. That is why (I think) they do the various drink company soaks as soon as they get out of the cars.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

matthewcline 0 #10 February 19, 2006 I was standing there after an invite from Jack Roush, and his driver (at that time) Jeff Burton said we might not want to stand to close. The whole team could smell him even after the Gatorade and Coke was sprayed all over him. Yes, in answer to your other question.An Instructors first concern is student safety.

As any grunt will tell you, it's THE most comfortable thing while laying in a swamp in the middle of winter shivering so bad you can't control it and praying that you can pee your pants more than once.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

rwieder 0 #16 February 19, 2006 QuoteWhat the hell do these drivers do when they have to pee? Dehydration. They have invented a helmet in conjunction with GatorAde to where they can drink while they drive. They (NasCar) drivers lose 10-15 lbs during a race. If they have to take a piss, they just let it rip. No cathiters.

My buddy had to go REALLY bad in a 172 we were flying cross country... What to do? He just peed into a rubber, tied it off and chucked it out the door!
