One of the best things in the world, at least that I found, is that no matter how many times you race..when you're in the staging lanes the adrenalin starts pumping. When you roll up either around the water box or thru it and clean off your tires, and you're just a bit nervous, that's a good feeling.

Best way I can describe it is when you see your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife, and even after the honeymoon period is over and something just right happens and you get that thrill?...That's kind of how it feels when the lights start coming down.

Oh I know this feeling to a T. I remember how nervous I got before I drag raced at the Camaro5 Fest last year. But when I got to the water box, all the nervousness went away. I was in my zone.

Yeah I know that feeling very well from racing in high school. I can't wait to give it a shot

I currently have a full time job which I don't mind, i'm looking for new jobs. I asked my friend "how's the area there? Is it ghetto? Parking lot wise how is it?"

She said "oh it's awesome here, parking garage too."

That's it, i'm convinced. I applied cause I want covered parking...

Where I work the fact we have a dedicated parking lot for just my company is a big plus. A lot of places around here need to have "arrangements" with the city to allow parking in relation to the building.

Metro Portland parking= Exercise in frustration ending in tears.
