Most wrecks happen faster than you can think about it. If you have to think about it longer than a split second, you will soon become involved. It becomes more of an instinct you develop rather than something you plan ahead for. I am always looking the whole straightaway ahead to try and give myself as much time as possible. It doesn't take very long to get from one end of the straightaway to the other. |
Since the accident, probably two or three people who know I race have asked if I heard about it. People are like, 'That's so dangerous, why would you do it?' I ask, 'Did you hear about guy who died on I-5 on his way to work?' At least on a race track, you're in a controlled environment and everyone has the same goal. They're supposed to have the experience. You don't see many people have serious injuries in races. |
