LEAVE
THE BOX AT HOME!!!
Do NOT
bring your favorite slot car along to show off on your date.
If
your date comments about your trophies or plaques, let them think
they're from real car racing...at least until the third date.
If
your date sees your controller, tell them it's an
"appliance".
Don't
even attempt to explain that bottle of "Stick It".
Your
"lucky" racing T-shirt will NOT get you lucky.
Always
remember, your date requires more then a three minute
heat.
In the
heat of the moment...Don't yell out a lane color, or "RIDER!".
No
matter how good, or bad, the date is going....never yell
"TRACK!".
If you
learn that your date is into, say, bowling; or better yet, stamp
collecting...then it may be safe to consider mentioning your
hobby.
You
know there's potential, if you drove further for the date then you
would for a slot car race.
When
your date calls and asks you what you're doing, don't ever say that
you're "mounting a body".
DO
give your date your home phone number, but DON'T give out the number
of the track.
When
your date does find out about your weird hobby, and if they're NOT
driven off...then you have to decide...are they just what you always
wanted, or are they even too weird for you (remember what Groucho
Marx said; "I never want to belong to a club that would have someone
like me for a member").
