Naw, it ain't about marbles!! It's about "desire" and lots of it!!

Somebody posted that I would be doing 170 mph and then parking in the handicap area. They called it right on the head, I was doing 165mph and I did park in the handicap area!!

Like I said this track scared me, so I backed off. That 165 mph was coming down the straight, anybody can do that. The late braking and the curves seperate the men from the boys.. I was real reserve in the curves and on my braking. Wasn't enough time for me to get use to track, my better judgement told me this wasn't the time to push the bar!!

yeah, I only weigh 139lbs at 6'3".. But, everybody is trying to lose weight these days.

If he ever makes a bike racing film, you could be his stunt double
English, when I first entered the banking oval for the first time, the VASTNESS of it just knocked me down. The area is BIG, real BIG..There was no slow learning lap for me, and that's what upset my inner safety zone.

When something triggers that, I automatically go into chill mode, and back off. Out about 17 times on racetracks, I only crashed once. I have found out from experience, that the part that seperates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn from their mistakes whereas, the loser keep repeating them. ..

Some riders were passing me upwards of 185 mph. And then late braking for the tight turn 1.

Wish I had some of Morgan Freeman's cash!!
