Ya know that you're a hardcore racer when you are under sedation for a colonoscopy and your last words before going totally under are (slurringly) "Maaaaan, I hope they don't strap me in a race car while I'm like this...."

I don't have anything that I've had very long. I don't even keep the same hobbies for to many years.

Will be 59 this month, hopefully. On my fifth drag car in 40 years. Been building a few engines for myself and friends every year. Cars have been my only hobby unless you count women.
