Just To Race

by Caryl Stephanson

I love the smell of exhaust
Hot oil and wet clay
I really love weekends
'Cause that's when I play
*
When the motors start revving
So does my heart
Sitting in the line-up
Awaiting the start
*
The flagman has the green raised
And ready to drop
It's once round the track, boys
And we're ready to rock
*
We jockey for position
By damn, there's a hole!
I dive my car into it....
Hey, I'm on a roll!
*
I see the crossed flags
It must be halfway
I wonder if I can hold
The rest all at bay...
*
It's finally out
The white flag is in view
Just one more lap
For me and k92
*
My heart is still pounding
My first win is in sight
I just took the checkered
And EVERYTHING'S right!
*
I do the victory lap
With a grin on my face
A bucketful of soap wouldn't
THIS grin erase!
*
I'll be back next week
And maybe I'll win
But I don't care if I don't, see...
Just to race is the thing.
