Starting Line

By Ryan Erickson

 

Roll up to the gate,

Pack your line.

Shovel the dirt with your boots,

Exactly what you want

To give you the extra boost

While throwing up all the roost.

Yellow, Red the Green.

Rev your engine,

Loosen the clutch.

All 20 engines

Screaming  at the max.

The gate drops,

Along with the clutches.

They’re off, holding on tight.

Shifting along the way.

First to the corner,

Hole shot
