    This post will be used to compile a list of any acronym thats thrown around in a discussion since not all of them are obvious. If you see one thats not listed just post a request below and I'm sure someone will enlighten us. We'll try to move all the new ones to the first post so its easier to see the list. Some of them might seem obvious to you but someone might find them interesting.

    I think I read somewhere RT stands for Race Technology, and R/T stands for Road and Track.

    It does stand for Road and Track. The Rapid Transit System Ad Campaign started in 1970.

    "Walkin' the thin white line on this smiling road. 40 days, I've been all alone. Draggin' my heart all across this world. I got 100 miles to go before I get back to see my girl. Aint got nothing, I got nothing to lose. I keep walking away these blues. The cup is broken, but it's half full. I got 100 miles to go before I get back to see my girl."
