Victor Jr.'s (disappointing) day at the races

I'd guess it was a sportsman's tree (not a .400 pro tree) and that .500 is
perfect. They've changed ours here, so that .000 is the perfect time on
the printout, (.500 used to be the goal) - it still equates to .500
seconds to get the car rolling, between neurons and gears, that's about
what it takes. Amber, amber, amber, green, right Ron? And you'd better
tell your foot to leave on one of those ambers. Unlike a pro tree, it's
three ambers all at once then Oh shit! Better go!
