It was the night before qualifying

And all round the track

All the teams were excited

‘bout a ‘NEW’ steering rack

About new wheels and tires and brakes like molasses

‘bout new sway bars, and spring rates

And late braking passes.

All the Tech Inspectors were tucked into bed

While visions of full compliance danced in their heads.

And I, in my Nomex, and Carbon-X underwear

Had just settled down in my big comfy chair

To await my endeavor, my turn, my attempt

At a chance to make history…and possibly rent,

By completing, NO, Winning the 24 Hour

That’s run every season with cars of all power.

Twice round the clock

In sun, rain, or snow…

No excuses, no traction, no problem, let’s go!

As I sat there and waited in the dark of the night

From the murk, from the fog, from the late starry light…

A glow, oh so brilliant, a sound, oh so deep,

Came rushing, came drifting, racing straight for my feet!

I sprang from my seat and ran to the pit rail

To better see, better glimpse what this could entail.

And what to my watering, gas fumed eyes did I see?

But a bright red Corvette led by eight tiny Minis.

It’s driver, a plump, rolly polly old guy,

Dressed in a bright red firesuit with a gold sequined fly,

Gripped the wheel, and the stick shift,

Punched the clutch, headers flamed,

And he flashed his lights at the Minis

As he called them by name:

“On Fangio, on Gurney, on Donahue and Hall!!

On Schumacher, on Reikonnen, on Posey, on Paul!â€
