I KILLED MY FAMILY THAT YEAR....dragging them here and there....spending NO time with them...etc.... That is why you see me with a Faster car now that I take out ONLY 4-5 times a year....the speed keeps the adrenaline up for me...and allows me to not try TOO hard to spend a cajillion hours trying to beat the field in a class where the MOST $$$$ wins! ...at the end of the day it HAS GOT TO BE FUN.... :drive:

Holding an umbrella kind of over my head, sitting on a rain coat. Taking the shock/spring out of the car. I looked over to what is a major highway in that area and thought if I saw me, I would think...Look at that guy, he must have lost his mind.... Any point when you realized just how deep into your hobby you are? Or it just kinda got that way?
