after participating in a lot of different venues dezert racing bikes buggies trucks, my 280-z and my 911, going to scads more races than i can remember from midgits to winged gawd damits, to stock cars to indy cars to formula cars to boat races and on and on......................
at 52 i am having more fun than a barrel of MINKEES(monkees) taking photographs of all the above STOOPID POO! and then some.
a very close friend of mine with about the same racing resume in his past life and damn near the same NIKONOS camera and i have more fun taking pictures than we ever had owning driving wrenching wrecking crashing crying and being broke all the time being a "racer".
the next time i get back on the track will be to shake down my new 911 engine and put some miles on it before i take it back on the highway.
sitting at home watching a wreck on the TV is juan thing. standing in a corner with a camera catching it on film is a whole different aspect that really makes ya think when its up close and personnal and ya can play it over and over in color on your computer screen.
i cant put it more bluntly..............racing is dangerous,racing is expensive, racing is NOT always fun! and it IS A GIANT PITA for yourself and those around you. but ya dont realize that until ya step back and observe from the other side of the street.
its called WIZ-DUMB lil grasshoppers. and its ONLY gained from experience. it cant be read/bought/borrowed.................it can only be learned from TIME involved.
