Race chatter: Team TVR
Crew Chief: "OK, green green green"
Driver: "That idiot. Does he even see me?"
Crew chief: "He don't have a spotter, and apparantly no perifeal vision, either."
Crew chief: "Ok, this lap. The Elise is coming in this lap."
Crew chief: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, brakes. OK guys, 5 on 5 off all around"
Crew chief: "Go, go go! Good pit stop, guys, good job."
Tire cheif: "Hey Damon, come look at these temperatures"
Driver: "What's going on, Matt?"
Tire chief: "You're not gong to like this, Vic."
Driver: "Don't keep me hanging, tell me. I got more on my hands then you do."
Tire Chief: "Your freaking outside front tire is worn to the wire"
Driver: "You're [spitting] me"
Tire Chief: "No, this is a real problem"
Crew chief: "I'll figure something out. Just be light on the wheel, Vic."
Driver: "10-4."
Crew chief: "OK, Vic, do you remember that show with the drift cars?"
Driver: "Initial D? What about it?"
Crew chief: "I want you to try something."
Driver: "Shoot for it."
Crew chief: "Remember that race with the Trueno driver's hand taped to the wheel?"
Driver: "Yeah, so? You want me to tape my hand to the wheel?"
Crew chief: "No, but it's the same basic idea."
Driver: "What is?"
Crew chief: "Didn't the Trueno drift faster with less steering input?"
Driver: "Yeah, he used less countersteer."
Crew chief: "Well, try using as little steering input as possible. I've been watching your line."
Driver: "What about it?"
Crew chief: "Well, try changing your line. Don't dive in as hard, steer less and accelerate early."
Driver: "Exit-oriented technique?"
Crew chief: "Exactly."
Driver: "Big 10-4 on that. I'll see what happens"
Driver: "That son of a [witch] knocked me!"
Crew Chief: "I saw, GTRA is warning team Spoon"
Crew chief: "[spit], you're not going to like this, Vic."
Driver: "What now!?"
Crew Cheif: "GTRA says you're dragging that fender the [blaster] in the two thousand slammed into"
Driver: "Please say you're bull[spit]."
Crew chief: "I wish I was."
Driver: "Don't worry, he'll get his. I'm coming in now"
Crew chief: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 brakes"
Crew cheif: "C'mon guys, get that damn fender fixed."
Driver: "[freak] me in the mouth, I can't believe how much time we lost!"
Crew chief: "Hey, nobody else is happy, either."
Driver: "I swear to god I'll punch Mark Lester in the face if he don't penalise Team Spoon for that."
Crew Chief: "GTRA's looking into it now."
Crew chief: "Burden turned to blessing in two ways."
Driver: "Oh, I'd love to hear this."
Crew chief: "A. GTRA's fining Spoon $10,000 for aggressive driving."
Driver: "Hoo-rah! What else?"
Crew chief: "Your pit strategy is back in alighment with Lotus's."
Tire chief: "Pit on 50, Vic."
Driver: "10-4, Matt."
Crew chief: "Hey, easy. GTRA's watching you two."
Driver: "I ain't gonna let him off the hook that easy."
Crew chief: "Just be careful, we don't need more penaltys to worry about. In fact, GTRA's warning us right now not to try something smart."
Driver: "I hear ya. I'll just make him disappear from my mirror the right way."
Crew chief: "Attaboy, Vic."
Driver: "That jerk bag swerved right in front of me again... Does he need a drug test?"
Crew chief: "GTRA's on it. He's been doing it to everyone."
Driver: "WHAT THE [freak] WAS THAT!? WHAT WAS THAT!? That sounava[beach]!!!"
Crew chief: "I'm sick of it, too, and so are the other teams."
Crew chief: "OK, the 911's being held two laps. Happy?"
Driver: "Yeah, but at this rate my car will look like it spent a day at Martinsville by the end of the race."
Crew chief: "Tell me about it."
Crew chief: "You're getting the flag again."
Driver: "For what now?"
Crew chief: "Your door is open?"
Driver: "What? No, it isnt."
Crew chief: "The passenger door is, just enough for GTRA to rant about it."
Driver: "From what?"
Crew chief: "Looks like it happened when the 911 bodyslammed you."
Driver: "[spit]! Don't I have enough to worry about?"
Tire chief: "Cool down, Vic. They're nice enough to give a 3 lap grace period, which is enough for you to come in right in your tire window."
Tire chief: "OK, this lap"
Crew chief: "Get that duct tape out!"
Crew chief: "OK, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, stop"
Crew chief: "Tape that door, c'mon!"
Crew chief: "Go, go, go!"
Crew chief: "Nice stop, good job guys! We didn't lose a second."
