Tires
- Pressures - Brakes
It's about brilliant colors, flashes of
light, ear-splitting shrieks, and
bone-rattling rumbles. It's about the
unforgettable smell of burning rubber,
smoldering brake pads, and gear oil. It's
about reaching through the steering wheel all
the way down to the tires and feeling the
road slipping past your fingertips. It's
about sensing the weight of the car shifting
from tire to tire, like water in a pan. It's
about the tug of the shoulder harness across
the collar bones, and the cramp in the leg
from pressing the gas pedal through the
floor.
Racing is about all of these things, and much
more.
