Lodi Dropzone 2010They installed meter lights on the freeway ramp in the town I live in. At first it bugged me because It was throwing off my onramp mojo. I had finally figured out what the perfect speed was that wouldn’t cause me to over correct and end up in the fast lane going the wrong way.
Today I got on the ramp and I’m not sure if it was the song on the radio, the mood I was in or just because it was Thursday, but as I pulled up behind the car I looked over and saw the meter lights….green….red….green….red….and all the sudden I was John Force inching my way to the starting line.I took off from the line, passed the Toyota Corolla…my hair flying in the wind and laughing with victory. Then the traffic came to a dead stop and I was back in my Honda Civic on my way to work.
For 3 minutes every morning…I am a NHRA drag racer and that is enough for me.
