It's amusing, but remember that others won't know what you're talking about. There's tons of words prounounced strangely all over the country, but most don't type them phonetically on purpose.

LOL! this thread is too funny

To the original poster, most people do not suffer from motion sickness. I have heard of a case where a drag racer talking down to a road course driver. He puked after the road course driver took him out for a spin around the track. Needless to say he didn't look down on driving on the track.

I normally don't suffer from motion sickness but if I don't play First Person Shooters for a while, the 1st few times I play I feel the symptoms of motion sickness. Trying eating something if you are getting motion sickness, it can help.

I get motion sick and can only take so many laps while sitting as a passenger in someone's car at the track if they're not smooth. I can sit in a smooth driver's car a long time w/o getting sick, however. I never get sick while I'm driving.

i normally start to get sick about 10 miles from the track.

with about a mile left it gets better, then when i finally start to see the track, all is good.

Make sure you're breathing throughout your run... One of my first instructors years ago told me to scream in the middle of the run to ensure that I was breathing.

To this day, it's not uncommon to hear a "yaaaahooooo" from the drivers side of the car during a run.

Dramamine wouldn't hurt either.
