Luckily , IMO, is on an up-swing right now, with more sponsors and bigger teams coming around, than in many years.

Another form of racing I did, I read the rule book frontwards and backards 427 until I had every word memorized and knew exactly what it said and more importantly what it didnt say.

I then built a machine that pushed every boundry. The first race was 150 miles, 5 30 mile laps. I took it easy the first lap and was right behind the leader. The 3rd lap, I lapped him and by the end I was a lap and a half ahead.

Cheaters aren't winners, but winners push the limits of skill and technology.....
