So far my great moment in my turbo was 165 mph inside a Saleen Mustang on the transition between the 91 and the 15 in New Years day 2001. The Saleen had top speed on me but the big sweeping turn and guard rails got him nervous.
No one handles drugs. They only maintain with the reduced mental and physical capacities that drugs offer.
I challenge any of you pot heads to load up and drive into turn 8 @ Willow with your foot flat in a street turbo.
The big fatty in that equation would be the idiot trying it on drugs.
Back in the day, I flew some dealer friends of mine into Catalonia airport slightly high on coke. We were heavy, high and hot when we reached half way and I sat a pressurized 210 down anyway. Thank the drugs for the clear thought process there. The only thing that saved us were my reflexes as impaired as they were. We slid off the end of the run way sideways and only just stopped before plummeting 1500 ft off the end. I flew us home and never flew again. You see the drugs seemed more important than flying. That was probably not my biggest moment on drugs but that's the best I remember.
Life takes all your senses to navigate it properly.
Drugs don't add to the ride they steal from the experience. You may be different. Perhaps dazed and confused suits your experience.
There isn't anything I did stoned that was better than when I'm clean and sober. Food taste better, relationships feel better and the brain functions clearer.
How many of you who have quit would do the same thing again if given a chance. Most of the choices I made in my life I would do again just for the experience. In a list of do-overs not choosing drugs is my number one. If I can help one person choose to travel a drug free path, I'm in. I will not condone any conduct that tells the kids that this **** is OK, it's not. None of it, not pot , not alcohol, not X, not meth, not coke, none of it. Why can't you guys see that saying it's "OK" sends the wrong message. It is far easier to help the young people obtain than to try and save them later.
Everyone has I right to choose their own path, just don't let your bad choices effect the people around you, especially the kids.
