  • chained_bear I had a stint with horse racing at one point... Not sure if I made a list or not... *looks*

    Edit: Not finding one. Must've been when I was reading Crazy Good and Seabiscuit, is what I was thinking of. Jul 28, 2009

  • john Can't believe this hadn't been listed yet. It refers to the prime starting position in horse and car racing: at the front of the pack, on the inside. It's also the name of a great (for its time) arcade video game of the early 80s.

    Anyone know of any good motor sports or automotive or racing lists? Jul 28, 2009
