Gentlemen, start your engines!

"The tradition of the pre-race singing of "Back Home Again in Indiana" goes back to 1946, the first race after the track was closed four years for World War II and the first under the ownership of Tony Hulman. The Hulman era also ushered in the tradition of one of the most famous commands in sports, "Gentlemen, start your engines."

Engineers Luck

Generally used in IT. Whereas a caller comes on the phone saying they've already done the thing that the engineer is most likely to ask first. The engineer will ask the user to do it while on the phone and then it suddenly works.
In other words, the user has just lied their bollocks off.
Caller: Hi, i've already rebooted my pc like 3 times and my program doesn't work
Engineer: Can you reboot your pc while on the phone to me right now?
Caller: Ok *wait for a minute or two
Caller: Oh! It's working now.
Engineer: Of course it is, that's Engineers Luck. Bye now.
