Thread: The webster "Bench Racer"

    Ok, since we're all either bench racers, or outsider experts able to spot this alleged character flaw. I'm just wondering...
    What really is a "Bench Racer?" A group this forum caters to?
    Winter upon us, seems as good a time as any to clear this up...

    jerA bench racer IMO is; A shit talker that takes runs at other peoples gear, knows shit and probably has worse shit than he's running down. Don't forget that they have never raced anything more than their old mustang peddle bike to the store for a handfull of bubble gum.

    Bench Racer: one whom sits (could stand, kneel,etc.) and reads ***boat, Hot Rod, Car Craft, Tractor Pull, Monster Mag, etc. cover to cover and can respond to every possible answer to tech, trivia, diagnosis and repair questions without actually having ANY practical mechanical background and/or actual mechanical expierience in the craft of racer/mechanic.

    "Bench Racer"--> Often found in the northern regions of the western states... Most are experts in all areas including & limited to v-drives! Some may not get this, but that is expected! idea2

    Jungle Boy's first up with an interesting definition.
    1) Shit talker
    Seems straight forward enough
    2) Bags others gear
    In an effort to make his own look better no doubt. Does open up a question though. If the baggee (subject of baggers comments) retaliates...bagging the baggers gear in self defense, does that automatically make the baggee also a bench racer?
    3) Never raced
    I figured racing fits in somewhere. Seems simple until you look closer. Do these races have to be sanctioned? Does this mean racers by definition are incapable of bench racing? Or just that if they did bench race, it wouldn't be called bench racing? One more thought, if someone races once does that make him/her immune to becoming a bench racer or participating in bench racing or do you have to race a certain number of times a season?
    Sangster, sorry, still can't comment on your clip cause my computer's still a mute.
    Hoss, was hoping you'd contribute, being one of the terms founding fathers if I remember. In fact, this board's name in some ways can be credited to you. Not saying you bench race of course! Your definition seems to have a more mechanical flavor. I noticed you broadened the racer exclusion to also include mechanics? Not sure if you intended this, but I'll go with it. You brought up another interesting point, but I gotta go for now...more later.
