So -- I hereby offer 1,000 GPs each to the first three technically correct entries posted (that is they must follow the 5/7/5 syllable pattern).

This is a reward for bravery, independent of contest winnings. And remember you can always actually enter a new haiku simply by posting again.
Oh... didn't realize this was here. I'll have my entry sometime within the next couple days :)

Oh, wait? There was still more time? Woops! LoL. Well, I'll leave this one in for now in case I get sidetracked and forget about it again. Haha.

Great contest... and lots of fun reading all the entries....

Shows that we love the SIM, racing in general, and also that we can be a bunch of sick monkeys at times. :)

Props to Jeb for making this too much fun!
